Vringo and Marvel partnered to create mobile video ringtones based on the famous library of Super Heroes. Today, they launched a storefront and web-based editing platform http://vringo.marvel.com where fans can buy movie clips or create their own using Marvels' archives. Users need to have video-ready phones to view and send the Marvel movies, and they need Vringo-application compatible phones to turn the clips into video ringtones. Now you can be viewed as Wolverine, for example, when you call your friend using VringoForward technology. The first clip is free and additional clips will be charged $1.99 at http://vringo.marvel.com . The Vringo app is available for BlackBerry Bold, Symbian, Windows Mobile and J2ME devices.

You remember that Viewsonic had launched a bunch of Atom-based computers? Well, here's a hands-on video of the VOT130, courtesy of netbooknews.com. This particular Nettop should be capable of playing HD content... that's certainly smaller than my current living room PC, but can it record TV? No.

Every day, the dead tree publications become more digital, so does the New Yorker which appointed artist Jorge Colombo to paint its cover using Brushes, an application for the iPhone. He drew the magazine cover with his fingers while standing for one hour in front of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Time Square. Colombo likes the app which allows him to paint in the dark: “Before, unless I had a flashlight or a miner’s hat, I could not draw in the dark.” (When the sun is up, it’s a bit harder, “because of the glare on the phone,” he says.) Brushes Viewer, the companion application, allows to record a video of each step of the drawing, check out the video of Jorge Colombo cover for the New Yorker here. Jorge Colombo will create a new painting each week for the newyorker.com.

[Where 2.0] I saw Earthmine for the first time when it launched at DEMOFall 07: it offers a Street View-like application that has a better image quality than the Google application (at the time of launch) and provides various web 2.0 interactive tools. This street-level 3D mapping technology allows users to collect and use all kinds of geospatial data in urban environments (i.e. buildings measurements, urban inventory), which appeals to a wide range of markets including construction, engineering, architecture, real estate, infrastructure management, transportation.

To add more fun to its pretty serious offering, the company launched Wild Style City (http://www.wildstylecity.com), a virtual graffiti application that lets digital urban artists express their talent using various interactive geo-tagging tools. Wild Style City leverage earthmine's 3D mapping platform and the earthmine Flash Viewer API, which provides access to earthmine’s data library for Adobe Flash, Flex or AIR based applications (in beta). Check out the photo gallery, the demo or try it live, this application is super cool!

Sasha from netbooknews.de just posted a video hands-on (below) of the cute MSI Wind U200 that we mentioned when it leaked. You can also check the launch event photo gallery here.

Intel is rolling out a new ad campaign that is hilarious. It features real-world engineers that are truly "rockstars" (or should be) like Ajay Bhatt, the co-inventor of the USB. Check it out.

We know that a lot of you read us from the office (several times a day), so you just got there and you are stressed by work? Check out this stop motion video and relax for 1 minute. Good viral stuff.

Opera takes a stab at making its web browsing a bit more finger-friendly by adding an extra-step where the browsers asks you what you really want to do when clicking on something. The catch is that it is available only UIQ (Symbian) devices.

The Onion, a famous “fake news” site has released a video that pokes the consumer electronics (CE) industry in the eye with a fork. Sony was unlucky enough to be chosen to symbolize the industry, we guess more because of their brand name than because of the quality of their product. Anyway, some consumers will find a little of “it’s funny because it’s true” in the video – mainly in relation to how the industry markets new products, and how it is covered in the media. Warning: there are a lot of swear words – you’ve been warned!
