Saturday, March 20th, 2010 |

“Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers” is an animated series produced by Walt Disney and created by Tad Stones and Alan Zaslove. These cartoons are presenting the adventures of the famous characters Chip & Dale only that in a whole new different setting. Now Chip & Dale are more serious and they have started a detective agency, with the help of their friends: Gadget, Monterey Jack and Zipper. They are trying to solve the crimes that are “too small” for the police and usually their clients are other animals.

Today we’ll discuss about the female character from their team of detectives, Gadget Heckwrench. She is a female mouse that has blue eyes and an interesting feature – the color of her hair changes from one episode to another. Sometimes her hair is blond, other times it is orange or even close to red. But the producers didn’t do this on purpose, and it is just because of the color palette that they used on that time.  She is usually wearing a pair of lavender mechanic’s coveralls, with a purple belt and a pair of goggles that she keeps on her forehead. This is her usual outfit, but of course in some episodes she is dressed in other ways too, depending on the situation.

And since her name is Gadget, she couldn’t be anything else than an inventor. She is a combination of the “cute girl next door” with an obsessed inventor. She is usually friendly with everyone and she is loyal to her friends and helps them any time they need. She makes most of the characters feel good around her because of her personality and there are just a few persons that she doesn’t like – and these are usually the villains.



She is always thinking, and trying to invent all sorts of new things but sometimes she has troubles on finding just one way to do things. But after she finds it, she can invent really fast. Sometimes she can even be naive and may not understand exactly what Chip, Dale or other characters want her to invent. Sometimes she is really excited about her inventions and she begins to talk in a scientific language and really fast. When this happens the others remain quiet and they don’t have a clue about what she just said, but this doesn’t seem to bother Gadget Hackwrench.

As we said before, she is really nice and friendly, but she has a limit too. And when someone annoys her she can get really mad and even aggressive. But luckily these events are rare, and most of the time she is a really cool character.

Even though she is a good inventor, sometimes her inventions are not working as they should. And a sign that usually lets the other characters know that an invention may not work perfectly, is when Gadget says “should work with no problems”. And most of the times when she says this, it happens the exact opposite.

So here were a few words about this cute character from the “Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers” which is the inventor Gadget Hackwrench. If you are a fan of these cartoon series and you know more things about her, please share them with us. Have a nice day!

Coolest Chameleon Ever Video

Thursday, March 18th, 2010 |

The computers and the internet had really evolved in the last decades, and today they had become a part of our lives. And since they are used in so many domains and activities we can even say that computers and the internet had taken over our lives. The internet is accessed by billions of people each day, and you can do all sorts of things online. You can do things related to your job, or you can search for any kind of information you want, or you can chat with friends and meet new people from any country of the world, or you can download all sorts of things such as: music, videos or pictures.

<-300×250 Medium Rectangle – center->

If you really like watching videos, but you don’t want to download them and fill up the space on your hard drive, there is a solution for you. And this solution is made out of all the websites that are allowing you to watch movies, without having to download them. You just choose the video you want to see, click on it and see it directly from your internet browser. There are many sites of this kind and youtube.com is the most famous of all. It has billions of videos and billions of viewers every day, and it has videos with anything you might think of, from any country of the world.

Today we’ll discuss about a specific video, one with a chameleon. We all know that chameleons are famous for their ability to change colors according to the environment, and this video is just about this topic. We first searched for this video on youtube, by entering keywords such as “cool chameleon” or “the coolest chameleon ever video”. But we found just some videos with just a few hundreds views. And we thought that this is not possible, since this video is really famous all over the world. And then we found out that the real name of the video is “Super chameleon”, and it has more than 1,800,000 views. It also has 4,700 ratings and 3,576 comments, and this proves what we said before – that is a really famous video.



So now let’s discuss about this really interesting video. The video begins with a big green chameleon sitting on a table. After a few seconds someone puts a pair of purple sunglasses on the table, near the chameleon. And now the magic begins to happen, and once the chameleon touches the sun glasses, it begins to color himself in purple. And after just 2-3 seconds, he is all covered in purple. Then the person takes the purple sunglasses away, and puts a pair of blue sunglasses on the table. And just in a few moments after touching them, the chameleon begins to turn blue. Its color is changing beginning from the leg which he touches the glasses with, and then through his whole body. After this the hand puts a new pair of sunglasses, this time some red ones. And of course, the chameleon will turn red. The next pair will be a black one, and the chameleon will again change its color. And the video ends “triumphal” with the chameleon sitting on three pairs of sun glasses (blue, purple and black), and with its body colored in three different colors – the head is blue, the beginning of the torso is purple, and the rest of the torso and tail  are black. So after all it is a cool video, that is showing the ability of the chameleon to change its color. But from our perspective, this video is a fake, because none chameleon can change its color so fast (in just a few seconds). If you read some of the comments you will notice that there are 2 type of users: the ones who consider this video a fake, and the ones who believe that it is real. So after all it is up to you to decide which of these 2 parts you join.

Another famous video with a chameleon is the one called “Go shorty”. This video also has more than 1 million views and thousands of ratings and comments. In this video you can see a chameleon that is crossing the street, and which seems to dance. In the background you can hear the famous song of 50 cent – In da club, and the chameleon seems to move according to this song. This video is entirely true, and of course the chameleon was not dancing, but someone thought to put some music in the background and to make it look like he is dancing. And this was quite a good idea, that made the video really funny and really popular.
