Earlier this morning a simple hack sent Twitter programmers in a frenzy.  The incredibly easy hack allows you to force anyone on Twitter to follow your account.  Here’s how it worked:

1.)  Open your Twitter profile

2.) Tweet “Accept ‘any username,'” you can enter any twitter account like for Conan type “Accept ConanObrien.”

3.)  A few seconds after entering the tweet you should get a server error response, which means it worked.

4.)  Check your followers list and…

5.) Ta Da!! Coco loves to hear what you tweet.

Unfortunately the word was out and Twitter was frantically scrambling to fix the …

Just like Hitler, Constantin Films, the German film production company, and YouTube have been targeting a select group…of videos. The victims are the Hitler “Downfall” parody videos, a meme that involves a clip from the movie Downfall, made by Constantin Films themselves, where Hitler reacts to current events with the help of altering the original subtitle. The tamer the event, the funnier it is. For Xbox Live fans out there, the “Hitler on Xbox Live” is recommended. They have a Downfall parody video for almost anything including “Hitler Finds Out Michael Jackson is Dead”, “Hitler Wants Fedor to Fight in the …

Wrestling giant WWE and trading card giant Topps came together to produce a fun game called WWE Slam Attax that should please wresling fans, especially younger ones. The game is quite easy to play and the cards are impressive as two players go head to head. The game is already a massive hit in Europe and I expect the same here in the US. There are a total of 186 cards to collect that include 130 game cards, 16 champion cards, 19 finishing move cards, 11 title cards, and 10 prop cards. It’s especially cool that Topps and the WWE have …

I wanted to try something new so I thought I’d survey my top 40 radio station and do reviews of selected songs of interest. I’ve included my commentary and a link so you can hear each song for yourself. My personal music tastes range more towards pop and electronica but I’m open to anything, as you’ll soon see.

La Roux “Bulletproof”

I loved this song from the first time I heard it. It’s a true pop gem. Catchy electronic beats and cool lyrics. This is one of the best songs currently on the radio. Hearing it makes me think of Patrick …

Part of being a collector is the joy I get when I think about my collection.  Finding that hard to get toy or reading the latest issue of Batman always brightens up my day.   Some collect toys, while others collect comics and video games.  In the end, collector’s have one thing in common: passion.

So this week, we’re starting out a new segment: Collectors Society!  (Not to be mistaken for the Justice Society–there’s no Stargirl here!)   We will showcase collections from fellow collectors!

If you want to submit  your collection, send us an email at: collection@nerdsociety.com.  We’d love to show …

What happens when you take a real life Special Forces soldier and pin him up against a gamer?  British TV show The Gadget Show did just that by creating a real-life incarnation of the the Modern Warefare 2’s “The Pit.”

The Soldier would run the real course, while host Jason Bradbury would simultaneously play the exact level the course was based off of on XBOX360.  The results may surprise you.

I think the soldier chose the wrong tactic of choosing to sit and pick off the targets one by one.  Maybe he forgot that the goal was to get …
