If there’s one thing everyone can agree on, it’s that we all love cute-ass videos. Well, almost all of us. Welcome to Eff This Video, the column where Liz Shannon Miller explains to you why your favorite videos are some bullshit.

Yesterday Microsoft gave us a tour of their labs, including their $1 million anechoic chamber. Anechoic is apparently a fancy word for complete silence.
Here’s that went:
Tour guide: “We’re going to take you to the quietest place on earth.”
Me: “So you’re taking us to a Microsoft store?”
Tour guide: uncomfortable laughter.

Daft Punk, YouTube, iTunes, Spotify and Me: A...
I know a fair amount about a fair amount of things. Music and the music industry, just for the record, is not one of them.
I keep things pretty simple: I know what I like, I listen to it.
Which includes Daft Punk, going all the way back to “Around the World.”
Every time Daft Punk has a new project in the works, I become quasi-obsessed with the leaks that trickle out.

Can you name which unethical business practice John McCain referred to today as an “injustice being inflicted on the American people” while introducing a bill to stop it?
THE ANSWER MAY SURPRISE YOU.
Wow. That answer did surprise me.
Today I got to hang out with a bunch of great...
But probably the highlight was sitting with Jay at a coffee shop and spending the whole time just whining about how much people suck and are the worst.
I mean, I have a good life and I am surrounded by good folk. But today was, at certain points, incredibly fucking frustrating.
