With a jetpack fueled by insomnia and an easily amused mind, It Came From the Interwebs scours and sifts through everything that has ever appeared on the internet (more or less) to find a few things that you should know about every week. These things come from the interwebs, hence the clever name.

This week: The Pizza Dance, The Widowmaker Hamburger, a Trippy PSA, the Ugly Duckling, and Fun with Cartography!

This week, Dwayne DeFreitas & Andrew Sorcini examine Microsoft‘s announced new versions of Windows 8 OS, and Twitter‘s pledge not to join the Patent War offensive.

But first, the headlines…Google announces a stock split, Google Drive launches next week, Yahoo CEO’s plan to drop fifty properties to turn the company around, Valve announces research into wearable computing, IKEA will sell a HDTV modular furniture system, text messages soothe the soul, and Tupac lives again via “hologram.”

Tupac died 15 years ago, but through the magic of Pepper’s Ghost, the crowd at last weekend’s Coachella music festival in California got a chance to be simultaneously thrilled and weirded out by a rapping, walking, and talking Tupac, who “took” the stage with his former running mate Snoop Dogg, aka Snoop D-O Double Gizzle.

Below is a probably NSFW [language] video of the performance, and honestly, it does sorta trick you into thinking Tupac is actually there. Snoop plays his part in the ruse, ably rapping alongside his slain friend, though I’m sure that, thanks to the marijuana, Snoop has rapped with ghosts before.
