I've checked io9 several times today to see if you had posted anything yet. Thanks for this. I agree with you about many of your points. It's very easy to over-analyze this show and rip it apart for the glaring holes. I think the biggest part of what I agree with is that everything felt completely rushed, or…

It is an integer, and thus a number. In fact, it's considered an even number. To me, zero is even more mystical than than Pi or any other. As geeky as it may be, I even have a couple (of the many) books written about the number. :-)

I just want to know why it's taken Russia so long to get to Vostok.

So, we have happy numbers which boil down to 1, then the rest are unhappy?

I've had my own entry written for about 20 years now and keep forgetting to send it in. Hey, it's on my bucket list!

I am also biased. For me, iOS is form or style over function. Sure, it looks pretty, but pretty doesn't cut it for me. I've owned 5 different iOS devices, and now I own a lot more Android devices. It's just my opinion, but iOS is just too limiting to me as someone who likes to play with my software at a deeper…

I use all the apps I've downloaded, at some point, except for the games I've installed for my children.

Got my sync on with my 50 gig account. At this point, I'll probably relegate Dropbox to backing up my pics from my cellphone. Love it!

I've read many of the Stainless Steel Rat books, and I love the humor Harrison uses. This type of humor seems to be mostly lacking from science fiction. RIP Harry...

NO! Period, end of sentence, and all that. Once it's digital and out there there's no bringing it back. It's just not very smart for anyone who cares about their privacy in any way.

This is clearly the start of the Chtorr invasion.

Would this be a high degree of texterity?

In my humble opinion, "does cybersex count as actual sex" is an ill-phrased question. The reality is that cybersex, while sexual, is not actually sex at all, when compared to the traditional definition of sex. So, the question is answered.

Look, he said, "as in ever" and he meant it. There's not a single qubit of hyperbole in what he said.

There are those who say that the increasing media coverage and television shows regarding UFO's and aliens is by design. Supposedly, this is to desensitize us to the idea of alien life. I've always considered the idea of an alien craft crashing in Roswell to be either a joke, or an act of misinformation by the…

I hope that when and if Apple releases a 7" iPad that Samsung takes them to court for the same reasons Apple has taken them to court. I hope Samsung gets an injunction in every country to stop Apple from selling the 7" iPad. Oh, please let this happen!

Yes and no. He turns out to be the only biological being, and yes, it is depressing. Imagine outliving not only everyone you've ever known, but every being to have existed or will exist.

I totally agree! I have a friend who was diagnosed with a gluten allergy. The only problem was that the person making that diagnosis was an applied kinesiologist. That might mean little to most people, but the bottom line is that after double blind testing, it was found that a diagnosis by an applied kinesiologist…

I'm currently writing about an immortal and attempting to place myself in the shoes of the protagonist. It's impossible, of course, but a great thought experiment. The end result is a character who is depressed and suicidal after watching everyone else shed their mortal coil. What is left after living hundreds or…

You're on the right track, at least for the book I'm working on. Instead of drawing energy from an alternate timeline, think of M-theory and its 10 dimensions, or the general multiverse viewpoint with endless dimensions. Then imagine one of those dimensions consisting of nothing but pure energy, simply waiting to be…
