Final act: Magicians, Vegas and a zombie apocalypse? Sounds like all the elements of a great movie. And this short film from Penn Jillette’s silent partner Teller delivers. Teller reveals himself to be surprisingly talkative, not to mention an excellent marksman, especially when picking off brain-eating zombies from his condo balcony—that is when not distracting them with sleight of hand. So what does a Vegas zombie look like? Around the slot machines, it’s hard to tell at itricks.com/news/?p=3276.
Price Patrol: Real bargain hunters have two qualities lacking in the population at large: patience and persistence. Fortunately, technology provides a more than adequate solution for these missing virtues. Price!pinx is a Web utility that works a little bit like a stock option. Highlight a price on any Web site, enter the amount you’d like to pay, and Price!pinx will keep checking the site until the price drops to where you want it, then alert you. It works with most Web sites, so you’ll be ready if and when Blu-Ray prices come down at www.pricepinx.com.
