HDTV reveals conspiracy?

Conspiracy theorists, start typing. A documentary filmmaker covering a economic summit in Montebello, Quebec last summer say he's seen something odd in his footage after watching it on a HD monitor. He says the film shows what appears to be an undercover police officer walking through a group of protesters outside the summit to strike one of the riot police at a nearby barricade. If that's so, one could suggest that the police were trying to start a riot, thereby having every reason to get rid of the crowd. Beyond the original CBC report, this has yet to turn into any kind of scandal, but if true it paints a disturbing picture about the condition our respective countries are in.

Not that I'm totally happy to have activism for the sake of activism, because sometimes it leads to dumb stunts. On Tuesday, about 300 activists targeted Montreal hotels to, get this, raid the buffets and give the food to the needy. The plan was foiled and I'm sure more than a few of these idiots got beaten up by hotel security for their trouble. You could all save yourself time and trouble, not to mention trespassing convictions, simply by donating to your local food bank.

In nerd news, Dell has released a World of Warcraft themed laptop. All you have to do is throw down $4, 450 US, which may sound a bit steep even for a high-end system, but by the looks of this thing, it's not like you'll have a girlfriend or boyfriend to spend the money on.
