A few days back I heard a story that Kansas’s capital Topeka, has unofficially changed his city’s name to Google. Its correct Mr William W. Bunten, Mayor of the City of Topeka, Kansas urge the citizens of Topeka, to recognize and support the continuing efforts to bring Google’s “Fiber for Communities” experiment to the city, and do hereby proclaim that for the month of March 2010, the city of Topeka will be Known as Google, Kansas – The Capital City Of Fiber Optics.

In the Proclamation by the Mayor he refers to the 100 times faster Internet service and the name change is only for this purpose.

In my perspective its a brave decision and i like it. But, there are few drawbacks for naming the city to Google (Topeka).

Listropolis’ Take:

Just a great idea for a post, and one we wish we had come up with first. Heavy on the LOLZ

On Monday, do you just want to sit on the couch, relax and watch a marathon of NCIS, Pawn Stars, or The Secret Life of the American Teenager? If so, then this list is for you.

You can watch 101 TV Series & Movie Marathons and Specials during the long weekend for Valentine’s Day and President’s Day.

Here are some illusions that will make your head spin. All of these are JPG images, they are not flash or any video. On most of these if you stare at different spots, you will notice that the movement stops. If you put your mouse on one spot that seems to move, you will be able to see that it is not moving at all.

Listropolis’ Take:

Nothing new here, but that doesn’t take away from the cool factor.

In real life, guns are cool if you’re a private detective or a sporting marksmen. But most of the time kids are always shooting themselves or trying to hold up liquor stores or something, and that sucks. In the movies, however, guns are awesome. In science fiction movies, they’re even more awesome and make for some amazing prop replicas. Anything goes in the realm of sci-fi firearms and many pieces completely ignore the laws that govern actual projectile-firing weapons. Early examples of the fictional guns are the heat-ray featured in H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds (1898) and several weapons from A.E. von Vogt’s short The Weapon Shop (1942), which featured “express rifles” made of “viridescent magnesitic beryllium.” Now in 2010, the futuristic weapons we see on screen are probably above and beyond what Wells imagined and as CGI advances, so does the destruction. So wave your rayguns in the air as we look at the cream of the fictional firearms cache.

Listropolis’ Take:

Not so into guns, but damn these are cool.

YouTube has come to define the era of online video, so let’s take a look at their most popular videos of all time. We first did this list in August 2007, at which point Evolution of Dance by comedian Judson Laipply was number 1 with nearly 56 million views. The next update was September 2008, when Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend pop music video was number 1 with 103 million page views (although commenters argued it may have gamed the system).

How is Evolution of Dance doing now, given the influx of pop music and movie videos into YouTube? Not to mention all of those goofy comedic routines by teenagers and cutesy baby or animal videos. Let’s check out the top YouTube videos of all time, as it stands today…

Listropolis’ Take:

Look…there’s a reason these videos have such high view counts. They’re great! And to be able to see them all on one post makes them all that much better. Sure, you’ve probably already seen most of them, but check out the list and see if there were any you missed.

It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas, so it’s time for the TV networks to air their heart-warming holiday made-for-TV movies. You know the type, an orphan joins a swell family for the Yuletide season and sooner than you can say “chestnuts roasting on a open fire” the kid is adopted and gets a mangy mutt from the pound. Or some mysterious visitor appears and miraculously the dilapidated family farm is saved from a greedy mini-mall developer. But the most time-honored holiday theme is that of embittered family members who eventually put aside their long held hate-athons just in time for Christmas Eve. So behold this list of the top 10 TV Movies with estranged relatives who find the true meaning of Christmas. HO HO HO!

Listropolis’ Take:

We don’t really have a take on this one….it’s just an interesting list.

Sticking to the five main terrestrial channels in the interests of inclusivity, we’ve annoyed everyone by scrawling all over the Christmas telly guides, deciding which movies we’ll be wheezing off the stuffing to this festive season. Pass the brandy, old chap…

Listropolis’ Take:

A surprisingly good list of movies to watch this holiday season.

Two days before the 2009-2010 NBA season begins, we pay tribute to the guys who still make it out of bed, despite the aching bones and other age induced pains and troubles. Oh right, I forgot they get millions for playing Basketball, that’s always a good reason. But being durable is worthy of being admired, especially after so much time in the league – so here they are, the 10 oldest players in the NBA.

Listropolis’ Take:

I included this because it’s just a really interesting list. I was actually surprised by many of the players on the list. Even if you’re not a basketball fan, there’s a good chance you’ll find this list worthwhile. Check it out.

In the olden days, boys and girls used to spend hours using double cassette decks to carefully craft mix tapes to share in order to express their innermost longings in an artsy way. It sometimes led to love and inadvertently increased record sales by sharing a little taste of previously undiscovered bands.

Then came Napster and the CD burner, making the process even easier. Finally, mix sharing was thoroughly disrupted by online “mixtape” sharing sites such as the popular Muxtape, whose sharing function was disabled by the RIAA over a year ago. Following the closure of that site, we posted a list of alternatives last summer. Already, 60 percent of them are now offline for various reasons, in at least one case due to major label lawsuits.

These online mix-sharing sites are clearly something of a moving target, because they tend to operate under the radar or pay unmanageable licensing fees. But we’ve turned up a fresh batch you can use to share virtual mix tapes with friends and strangers around the world, without paying a cent.

Without further ado, here are the eight best ways to share playlists (honorable mentions below):

Listropolis’ Take:

This post makes me realize how much I miss Muxtape, but it gives the best sites I’ve seen to replace that hole in my heart. If you’re a music fan, you’ll love this list.
