Whiz of the Web: Monday Meat Slices

The best of the internet, chopped into tiny bits and grilled for your enjoyment.

• Say, it with us, fellow Harry Potter fans: whew! Yes, Emma Watson, along with the two other main "child" stars, will officially be reprising her role as Hermione in the rest of the films, despite what the tabloids have been saying. (Via Editor Jill)
• Hey, somebody found one of those R2-D2 mailboxes in the area! It's "at the corner of Frontenac and Cottman in the GREAT NORTHEAST." Has anybody else spotted any more of these nearby? Perhaps somewhere in Center City? (Via reader Martin)
• Slate takes a look back at Ze Frank's The Show, a lovely little vlog we didn't watch nearly enough, and that is now sadly at the end of its run. (Via)
• By now we assume you've seen, or at least heard about, that viral video that mashes up that famous old Mac ad and some footage of Hilary Clinton to make the Senator from New York look like some kind of evil dictator. And we assume you've also heard that the video turned out to have been made by a guy indirectly associated with Barack Obama's campaign. So Wired asks, will viral videos like that one, coupled with the relative anonymity of the internet and services like YouTube, change the way campaigns are run, making them even harder to regulate? The answer: duh, yes.
• The source is kind of an odd one, and we're feeling pretty wary of casting news in general these days, but hopefully it is true that our old pal Hugo Weaving, of Matrix fame, will be voicing Megatron in the upcoming Transformers movie.
• Holy crap! Be on the lookout for a new spam email where the scammer pretends to be a hit man hired to kill you, and is offering you a side deal to let you live - if you pay him a big chunk of money. Of course, if the email comes with surveillance pictures of you attached, you might want to consider not deleting it right away...
• Photos from the set of Rambo IV have hit the net! Boy, does Stallone look ugly here. (Via)
• List time: the 10 Toughest Games to Beat. We're totally with them on some of these - especially R-Type - but where are the truly classic, truly difficult games? Where's Pac-Man, Burger Time, Kid Icarus? (Via)
