No, it's not an actual working version. But the video display simulates what the phone does, and it even has a realistic-looking camera and ports. Under the hood, there's a Mac Mini running Windows to make the magic happen. In the video, a tour from Search Engine Land editor in chief Danny Sullivan and the head of Google's web spam team -- and Nexus One longtime user -- Matt Cutts.

This is Cuties Only's first kill of Icecrown Citadel 25 normal mode Rotface encounter. The video is shot from an affliction warlock's perspective, with full ventrilo conversation as the audio track. The latency is really bad during this particular encounter. Visit www.qtsonlyguild.com public forum to download the UI I am using in this video.

Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's fast new trimaran, sitting dead in the water, appears to have been deliberately rammed and critically damaged by the much larger Japanese whaling ship (the Shonan Maru No. 2), despite claims from some that the Ady Gil rammed it. Here is the footage from the Japanese ship: judge for yourself. Did the Ady Gil attempt to start its engines and get away, only to fail? Did it first try to move forward, then backward after the ramming? Hopefully further investigation will clarify the matter, but regardless one has to ask why the Shonan Maru No. 2 was heading directly for the stationary boat in the first place and why did it turn to starboard, t-boning the Ady Gil. From the start of the video, note that the water cannons are firing and an LRAD is blaring (compare with this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYjdMYzL7sU&feature=related). All of this may have also served to disorient the Ady Gil captain and crew.
