Looking for a gibberishy fake product demonstration...

Somewhere on the wide internet is a video of a fake product demonstration that's complete and total doublespeak. And I can't find it. Could use a little google-fu from the crew, here.

Looking for FTP server software with an HTTP interface.

I'm looking for FTP server software that, in addition to standard features like email notification and user management, can serve files to a web page rather than a ratty looking list of filenames in a browser window. If you have any experience with such a beast, I'd appreciate your recommendations.

Daughter of a Chinese fiance/wife is facing deportation, because the gov't dragged their feet. Is there recourse?

I have a friend who has a dire immigration problem. He, a US citizen, married and relocated his wife and her daughter from China to the US. The INS is going to deport her daughter. We want to fight it. Lengthy details, of varying complexity involving government malfeasance, etc. inside.

Why's gramma all pixelated?

I'm doing a video slideshow for a 50th anniversary. I am a newb at this (but not at digital imagery, so I can at least talk the talk), and I have questions and could use some simple and fast ideas.
