Warning: This is not safe for non-techies...

Update: Actually, it's such esoteric cheese that non-hardcore-techies should enjoy this instead.

Hitachi puts money into geek (via Gizmodo).

Why do I care? Good question. Perhaps I shouldn't, and maybe I don't (which is just my way of saying I'm not sure I understand how it works), but my new Macbook Pro's drive is apparently all about Perpendicular, so I figured I should find out. Little did I think I'd find this pastiche of 70s kids educational videos from corporate giant Hitachi.

I haven't had a car since 2001. Actually, since 2003, but I hadn't seen *that* car since 2001 and being a 1969 Pontiac Lemans muscle car, it didn't have any remote keyless doodah. But can it be true, as Clarkson claims (embedding not allowed), that you can use your head to increase the range of your remote locking system?

Who wants to try this out? I'll be trying it next time I rent, for sure...

Educanadation?	Embedding blocked, my arse!

Probably done the rounds, but who cares? I ain't seen it aboot...

Update: Apparently I'm not explicit enough in pointing out that this is a hilarious video that you should watch. You don't need to be Canadian, or arachnophilic, and it is quite safe for the arachnophobes out there too (well, perhaps all but the most afflicted).
