A video that suddenly wafts about the Web shows a magician's expertise in one technical area -- video editing. January 19, 2014 1:12 PM PST The kitten is about to come alive. (Credit: Digg/LiveLeak) When you wake up on a Sunday morning to messages from readers that say: "You have to see this," there are a few potential reactions. One: "Oh, someone's trying to get to write about their new, very slightly useless gizmo." Two: "Spam." Three: "This video could actually be worth seeing." Grumpily clicking on "play" on this video posted to Digg, but originally to LiveLeak (and who knows where before that), I still feared the worst. It was entitled: "How to Pull a Live Cat Out of a Laptop." What ensued were 7 minutes of really quite captivating video editing, even if the live cat appeared to emerge from a desktop screen, rather than a laptop. More Technically Incorrect Amazon to ship things before you've even thought of buying them? Security camera captures decidedly low-tech Target 'hack' Chocolate-activated coat a key to wearable tech's future Mom has phone stolen, finds couple's porn in her Dropbox Justin Bieber's iPhone: What will the police find? Before the promised live cat emerged, a laptop was used as a waffle maker. After the cuddly kitten comes to life, there's a whole series of set pieces in which this unnamed performer manages to levitate an iPhone and turns it into a juice dispenser and a popcorn cooker. He also turns a juice bottle into a candy bottle. It's all perfectly immature amusement, but sometimes that can make a significant contribution to life. I do wonder, though, how many hours this gentleman took to create his opus, and whether he is a start-up CEO in his spare time.
