The owner of a battered Nikon D300 is being sought after the contents of a bag were found strewn across part of the Grampians. A Digital SLR User reader called us to report the finding, made by his neighbour on a recent walking trip. The memory card had water damage but lasted long enough for this picture to be taken from it. Do you recognise any of these men?

Impressed by the story of the North Carolina eBay seller who stumbled upon an ultra-rare, $13,000 Nintendo game? So were we — and so was Kansas reader Dave, who headed for his basement to see if there was video game gold lurking down there.

“We had quite a collection 185+ games that has sat in our basement for over 20 years,” Dave told Y! Games. “The games were on a list to be brought to Goodwill – in fact, within a month, Goodwill was going to have them.”To his astonishment, not only did he find a copy of the same game that just fetched over $13,000 on eBay — highly sought-after collector’s item Stadium Events — it was in perfect condition, right down to the original shrink wrapping and Richard Gordman pricetag. A mere $29.99, if you’re wondering.”Now I’m not much of a collector, but I know that having a factory seal is good,” he said.But he’s only just now finding out quite how good.As it turns out, the game’s unopened condition makes Dave’s copy of Stadium Events three times more valuable: he sold it on auction site eBay for a breathtaking $41,300. It’s thought to be one of only two shrinkwrapped copies of the game still in existence.

Recently I noticed incoming link activity from a website in French. The increase web activity was to one of my Brooklyn Bridge pages. Because it was in Frencj I did not know what was being written regarding my photo. So I used the Yahoo Babel Fish online translator and I was able to determine what was written.

En attendant que je poste mes images dans la galerie du site, voici un lien vers quelques photos… et un autre lien vers de superbes photos du pont la nuit.

English Translation:

While waiting for that I post my images in the gallery of the site, here a bond towards some photographs… and another bond towards superb photographs of the bridge the night.

It seems like this is what was written regarding my Brooklyn Bridge photos:  “superb photographs of the bridge the night.”

Superb is a nice adjective. Merci

Google had a television commercial during the Super Bowl.

Below is the Google Commercial from the Super Bowl:

Google: Parisian Love

Google’s Super Bowl commercial received positive reviews. Of course after watching the Google commercial people would create Google commercial parody(s) regarding their commercial.

Google: Parisian Oops (Super Bowl Commercial Parody)

Watching the Super Bowl ads is as much a tradition as the game itself. During this year’s contest, a few interesting trends emerged. There were commercials focusing on what it means to “be a man” as well as a couple of ads with too many tighty-whiteys don’t worry, we’ll explain. A slew of big names like Coca-Cola, Budweiser, and Doritos all brought their A-game, but some of the lesser-known brands were buzzier…
