Digital Trends’ Top 5 viral videos of the week, October 8, 2010

We are back with a new selection of videos to tickle your fancy. These videos are not all from this week, but they all made us laugh or caused our jaws to drop recently. Enjoy!

This bear knows kung-fu

Does this seem a little unfair to anyone else? I mean, it is already a bear, a fairly fierce member of the animal kingdom, but on top of that it also knows kung-fu? Hopefully whatever twisted master passed on the secrets of martial arts to this bear paid for it dearly when the two faced off in a cage match during the Tekken tournament.

Ladies and gentlemen, the magical stylings of Matt Mulholland

This video came to us directly from the beautiful and talented Felicia Day, star of the hit web-series, The Guild. I think she, like, has a crush on me or something. That’s cool though. Sure, maybe it was just something on her Facebook page, but I know she meant it for me…

In this video, Matt Mulholland, a musical genius from New Zealand, totally rocks out to Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On”. But you should watch it anyway, because it is funny.

Pole dancing goes horribly wrong

Pole dancing — it is a privilege, not a right. If you look at the bride, you can see that she is not a fan of the dancer to begin with. Her opinion is unlikely to have been changed following the “incident.”

If you watch carefully, you can see a man, who in a moment of terrified recognition, attempts to stop what is about to happen. Luckily for the world of viral videos, he failed.

A casual motorcycle ride through Moscow

In this video filmed from the helmet cam of a motorcycle rider in Moscow, this soon-to-be organ donor decides that traffic is just for people that value life.

Man goes for a leisurely walk inside an active volcano

Volcanologist Geoff Mackley and his crew descended into a volcano on the Vanutan island of Ambrym and took this incredible footage. Keep in mind that despite Geoff’s casual attitude in the video, the lava that is dancing behind him is between 1,300 and 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit- hot enough to melt even the most advanced Terminator.

Geoff and his crew spent some time arguing in the crater before Gollum finally arrived and bit the ring off his finger before falling into the lava, thus saving the world.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage
Two AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards on a pink surface.

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
