Raffaello's last day - attack of the whipped cream

Raffa (@skol) bought strawberries & cream yesterday. Obviously, there was no way we would not do stupid stuff with pressurized stuff (as you may have noticed from the previous video).

 Therefore it comes as no surprise that my MacBook was victim of a whipped cream attack... Raffaello even shot at it with a Nerf gun after it was applied !

Want a tiger-resistant laptop?

Forbes took the Panasonic ToughBook through a series of insane tests (they call it the "Forbes Test" and it involved the laptop being walked-on by an elephant and shot at). The results are pretty amazing: http://video.forbes.com/fvn/tech/tiger-versus-laptop (Posterous doesn't seem to allow the embedded view to work)

Can your computer do this?

Check out this video... The fact that it's in French doesn't really matter, simply wait until 30" to find out what it's about :-)

I need to improve my pool table skillz

Ok, Eduard & Oana (@oanat) beat me this time… But next time it won't be the same! Obviously in this occasion I was simply making them feel at ease for their first couple days in France :-p

Since @oanat told me @vmassol & @lucaa play even better than us, I'd better practice some more before the 2 of them get in Paris on July 20.

Hadn't Eduard played this one with a single hand, I would't even have won
1 round.

The winning ball (well, the losing ball from my perspective, but you get thé geist of it).

Nirvana's guitar

I saw a guitar that purportedly belonged to Nirvana while eating at the Pier 39 Hard Rock Café with @ldubost - there was Sting's electronic keyboard too by the way.
