[TECHNOLOGY NEWS] Look, a unicorn! Music video pays tribute to geeky gals and gamer girls

"Hello friends, don't you want to meet a nice girl?"
So asks Seth Green — TV, movie and video game star — as he opens the "Geek and Gamer Girls" music video unleashed on the Internet Friday by Team Unicorn.
Seems Green knows where you can find all the nicest (and badass-est) girls: playing video games and hanging out in comic book stores.
The video, which pays tribute to all the women out there who love gaming, manga and all things sci-fi, stars the members of Team Unicorn.
These four women have got some serious game and geek cred. They are: Michele Boyd(actress from "The Guild"), Clare Grant (voice actress for "Robot Chicken" and Green's wife), Milynn Sarley (TheGamerChick) and Rileah Vanderbilt (actress from horror films "Hatchet" and "Frozen"). Grant and Vanderbilt also starred in the "Star Wars" fan video "Saber."
So why does they go by the name Team Unicorn? "Because like unicorns, geek girls are not supposed to exist," they told the Official Star Wars blog.
Go ahead, check out the video and see if you can catch all the geek references and spot all the geek supa-stars making cameos.
We, love Stan Lee (Excelsior!)
And Joss created all our favorite shows
We Frag
In our sleep
We will pwn your ass in Halo (Uh-oh)

[INTERESTS] Infographic: The Ten Most Expensive Pieces of Art Ever Sold

Infographic: The Ten Most Expensive Pieces of Art Ever Sold By Cliff Kuang Last week, a mysterious rich man paid $104.3 million [1] for a six-foot tall sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, making it the most expensive piece of art ever sold. Following that news, GOOD and graphic-design firm Karlssonwilker [2] created an infographic of the ten most expensive pieces of art of all time. (Full-size here [3].) (The title, Not-So-Starving Artists, is deceiving because it's hard to starve if you're all dead. The real lucre goes to Christie's and Sotheby's, the two major auction houses.) Obviously, the graph is a schematic, but here's the actual works, if you're curious to learn more: 1.Walking Man I by Alberto Giacommeti--$104.3 million 2.Boy with a Pipe by Pablo Picasso--$104.1 million 3.Dora Maar with Cat by Pablo Picasso--$95.2 million 4.Adele Bloch Bauer II by Gustav Klimt--$88 million 5.Triptych, 1976 by Francis Bacon--$86.3 million 6.Portrait du Dr G...
