HD-DVD key numbers turned into colors on a T-shirt
You know those numbers that could change the world? No, not the ones on Lost, the HD-DVD key code that could lead to the end of Digg as we know it.Well, the sixteen hexadecimal digits are just numbers when it comes right down to it. And you can do all sorts of things with numbers, like use them as a basis for web-colors and make them into a pretty picture that may or may not be illegal to share with your friends.
But why stop there when you can go one step further and design a T-shirt based on those colors and sell it for fun and profit? It'll be interesting to see if the T-shirt gets a cease and desist notice from the MPAA, or if they'll send out letters to anyone caught wearing the shirt in public.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

You'd have to be the biggest nerd in the world to buy that. Nobody is going to understand what it means, it just basically looks gay for those that don't get it. Plus the key is going to be changed in the future anyway. Amazing how fast the money grab on this was.

30 bucks for a t-shirt is a rip-off!
Especially if you consider they have the wrong number!!!

Check again! The colors are right (just the code displayed on the site is not). The only one in question is the last one is "c0" = "c00" or "c0c" (as some have decided).
Amazing someone puts out good quality shirts with no real mind to making a profit, initally as a bit of fun, they and the are ripping people off, Cafepress do it and it's okay.. People get a perspective.
