His rocket to international stardom came in 2003 with the groundbreaking “Chappelle’s Show,” a half-hour blend of sketch, stand-up and musical guests. Chappelle has also appeared in films such as “Half Baked,” “The Nutty Professor,” “Con Air,” “You’ve Got Mail” and “Blue Streak,” as well as on over 40 national television shows including numerous appearances on “The Late Show with David Letterman,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and “Politically Incorrect.” He starred in his own one-hour HBO special and also in “Dave Chappelle’s Block Party,” a concert documentary directed by dreamy surrealist Michel Gondry.

Facebook is celebrating its 6th Year in existence, and with 400 Million Users in tow, the Social Network is ready to roll out some new changes to its User-Interface. But before lambasting the good folks at Palo Alto, who happen to “Hackathon” the night away so that all of us can have an Haute User-experience, make sure you Login and look around. I have a feeling that, You’re gonna like the way Facebook looks.

A few noticeable differences on Facebook’s new interface. Namely:

Looks like we are all going to have an easier time Searching on Facebook.

All this space makes it easier to navigate! Nice!

(Stay tuned! Hopefully Facebook will set-up all of our ‘Profiles‘ to view the new interface soon.)

iPhone – Talking Carl is one FuniApp. If you’re looking for some form of entertainment that doesn’t cost more than a buck, you should give Talking Carl a try. What does Talking Carl do, exactly? Let me explain. But first, let’s give him a belly rub…

I’m a practical guy. On my iPhone, I’ve got Apps that help me become more productive. Got the Wordpress App, Photoshop Mobile, USTREAM Broadcaster, Twitter and blah, blah… Ya, I know. Boring. Hunny K, on the other hand, seems to have a firm grasp on what’s fun. Recently, she discovered the Talking Carl App and decided to give it a whirl. Aside from the usual *tickle and *ouch responses you’d get by interacting with the App (as shown from the video above) its got one pretty Funi feature…

Let’s take ourselves back. Back to when we were kids. Do you remember playing this game:

You: Hey! How are you doing?
Me: Hey! How are you doing?
You: What do you want to do today?
Me: What do you want to do today?
You: Hey, cut it out! That’s annoying!
Me: Hey, cut it out! That’s annoying!
You: Forget you. I’m leaving!
Me: Forget you. I’m…hey I was just kidding!

Pretty annoying, right? And I bet some of you still do it to this day. Well, thanfully Talking Carl isn’t annoying like that. Although he will repeat whatever you say (to a certain extent) the entertainment value lies in HOW he repeats back what you say. And what exactly does Talking Carl repeat? EVERYTHING! We started mouthing off phrases like “Hello” and “My name is…,” and to our delight he repeated it in a chipmunk-esque tone. Phrase after phrase, repeat after repeat, we were thorougly impressed with the App. We couldn’t stop laughing! But what happens to Talking Carl when “it” (?) hears our rioutous laughter? Repeat laughter! Go through that whole cycle for about a good hour and let’s just say it was the best buck we’ve (she’s) ever spent. Too Funi…

Me: HA!
Talking Carl: HA~~~~~!
