Geek Neighbours: More Microsoft ads, Lily Allen and the Clock of Death

First up, congratulations to Melissa Daugherty, who successfully identified Mr Roger, from Mr Roger's Neighbourhood last week. To those of you who had no idea who he was, there is a significant part of your childhood missing. Here's a hint of what you missed. And here. And here. Man, I love that guy.

And without further ado, on to the Actual Technology News.

- Crave write about a new clock unveiled by Stephen Hawkings, which "reminds us of our mortality with the sound of a chain dropping into a wooden coffin". How emo-Monday.

- BoingBoing Gadgets write about the new Microsoft ad, which, praise be, doesn't feature Seinfeld. Best line? "I'm a PC and I sell fish". Right you are.

- My Chemical Toilet writes about Lily Allen's "review" of the Flip camera, which is mainly focussed on her dogs.

- Tech Radar have news on an engineer who managed to knock out the internet for thousands, by knocking out a couple of wires and then plugging them back in randomly. Embarrassing!
