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

• How about those Oscars? If you just want a list of all the winners, IMDB can help (go Coen brothers! Woo!). Cinematical, of course, was liveblogging the entire thing. Joystiq celebrated Wii Tennis' short cameo at the ceremony, and even embedded the video. Cinematical also found a great LJ post with links to YouTube videos of 46 of the animated shorts that have won Oscars over the years (via). And of course no Oscar coverage would be complete without accompanying coverage of the Razzies. I Know Who Killed Me stole the show this year with a record-breaking eight "awards." And finally, in other award news, the Nebula Awards finalists have been announced.
• The Game Developer's Conference recently ended, but not before some pretty interesting news and announcements came out. Nintendo's Takashi Aoyama gave a talk about WiiWare in which he revealed that Wii games will soon be able to feature downloadable content that users can spend Wii Points to purchase, and that Nintendo will begin charging for certain games' online gameplay services. Meanwhile, Super Smash Bros. Brawl designer Masahiro Sakurai talked about the game and its all-star character roster, and apologized for the delayed release in the US. Square Enix revealed that their company-wide 3-D game development engine is called Crystal Tools, and it will support the Wii. In non-Nintendo-related GDC news, the developers of the upcoming Penny Arcade game revealed that they plan to release new episodes of the title every four months! Finally, Joystiq bid a fond, time-lapse farewell to the conference.
• Chris Carter says X-Files 2 will be a stand-alone story, incorporating the essential themes and best elements of the series. The plot is still a closely-guarded secret. Meanwhile, Cinematical has dug up a bootleg, filmed-with-a-video-camera-in-the-theater copy of the first teaser trailer for the movie which, despite the poor quality, is still pretty exciting.
• Did you know that GMail Chat now has a cloaking device? Sweet.
• If there was any doubt that HD DVD is a dead format, Microsoft pretty much sealed the coffin by announcing that it will no longer manufacture HD DVD players for the Xbox 360.
• Take-Two Interactive Software has rejected a $2 billion cash buy-out offer from rival game publisher Electronic Arts.
• Back in 1962, sociologist James Davies developed a list of the seven preconditions for violent revolution. Some believe America now meets all seven preconditions. But will the revolution be televised? (Via)
• This story—about how the guy playing Sulu in the new Star Trek movie, John Cho, got the blessing of George Takei before filming began—is pretty cute.

• An important tip for living in our new technological age: don't have a name with an apostrophe in it. (Via Jill)
• Remote-controlled rubber duckie! Brilliant.
• This celebrity money picture gallery is pretty amusing. We'd explain in more detail, but it's easier if you just click and look for yourself. (Via)
• It's only an idea for a product, and not an actual product yet, but these Tetris ice cube trays are so cool, someone's just got to pick them up and start producing them.
• Those who got stiffed with a monaural copy of Guitar Hero III for the Wii can now get themselves cold hard cash instead of a stereo replacement copy, if they so wish.
• While insisting it has no plans to release its PalmOS emulation software for the iPhone or iPod, StyleTap has released a video of the thing running on an iPod touch. The big tease.
• Internet Explorer 8 is almost here! Apparently the thing has already gone out to a select group of beta testers.
• Adobe Air is a new program that's supposed to allow online applications to work offline. Sort of. It sounds pretty mystical to us. Plus, it's from Adobe, and it's not Photoshop, so it will probably suck. (Via Sarah)
