Wow. All you Guitar Hero fans who think you’re badass because you can play on “expert” are about to get pwnt… because this kid can do it while solving a freaking Rubik’s cube! Of course, he’s probably never kissed a girl, but that’s just because they don’t know his skills.

Last night, Larry Lessig tweeted that Warner Music had sent a takedown notice to YouTube over one of his presentations, claiming that it infringed their copyright.
