Whiz of the Web: Friday Fried Onions

• Microsoft found out how to lose less money: sell fewer Xbox 360s! Wow. Meanwhile, Nintendo is laughing all the way to the bank.
• How are bloated, over-produced Hollywood movies getting even more expensive?! Word is coming out that one scene of the upcoming re-adaptation I Am Legend, starring Will Smith, cost $5 million to film. That's just one scene! It's being called "the most expensive scene ever shot in New York."
• MTV are letting a reality TV guru executive produce their Movie Awards this year, they're letting provocative comedienne Sarah Silverman host it, and they're broadcasting it live for the first time. Uh, does that sound like a recipe for disaster to anybody else?
• Ireland's State Examination Commission says that texting keeps kids from learning to spell. Which is probably true. Our grammar, spelling, and punctuation certainly gets atrocious when we're chatting on GMail, anyway. Won't somebody think of the children?!
• We've been craving Wendy's lately, and now we have a reason to indulge our disgusting desires, as Wendy's Kid's Meals will soon include Wii toys of some sort! Wheee!
• iQuiz Maker is a free Mac utility that lets you make quizzes for your iPod. A free PC version is coming out in May. Cool!
• A team of Austrian physicists has done some quantum physics experiments that seem to suggest that reality does not exist while we are not observing it. Um, woah. Does that mean if we all close our eyes at once the universe will disappear? (Via)
• It's a new trailer for the new PIxar film, Ratatouille. Check it out! Looks pretty fun.
• We heard something about video pirates in China already selling DVDs of Spider-Man 3, and we didn't have too hard a time believing it was true. But it turns out the real truth is much funnier.
• List time: Premier's Top 100 Greatest Movie Lines. Some of these are really excellent choices. Others are puzzlingly short and pointless, and still others are such obvious choices that they're almost disappointing. But all-in-all, it's a good list. (Via)
