I was expecting the Observers vs. Peter thing to go one step further, where we find out that the Observers are the far-flung offspring of Peter and Olivia. September is Peter's great great great great great great great grandson, or something, which would certainly make him important, but then why they'd try to erase…

Yep! Although the game suggests Legion, Tali, or Kasumi, you can technically send anyone... and anyone other than those three should die at the end of that first mission.

DirecTV just recently announced that they're once again offering a TiVo-powered DVR. We had a TiVo DirecTV DVR back in 2004, and I remember the UI being much better than what DirecTV offers on its own boxes.

Alien and Amadeus are great movies.

A very cool Kickstarter toy project that's its own packaging, too...

My initial thought: "Wow! Juliette Lewis is a cyborg?!"

Send Miranda into the ventilation tubes (as the "tech expert") in the first part of the suicide mission. That should off her.

You can definitely start with ME2, but to get the real experience — and to watch your decisions have a real effect on your travels — it's worth starting with ME1.

Contrary to some continuity problems in Star Trek IV, you can't engage warp drive inside a star system. That'd be like shooting a bullet at an apple from three inches away, and expecting to stop the projectile before it hits. Sooo... no warp-drive trip from Earth to Mars.

For me, it's AirPlay Mirroring that's the real gem here. Being able to wirelessly share my Mac screen to an AppleTV — for both home and work uses — is fantastic. Everything else is just frosting.

Very fun! Much better to stare at this for 90 minutes than watch Phantom Menace.

The end of the book ties into the present day, yes. Don't want to say more than that. :-)

I'm still sticking with Alcatraz for now, but it needs to be kicked in the butt a little and get to the "What the hell is going on?" part of the plot very soon. They tease us with the weird "locked door with streaming light" shot, then completely ignore it. I can watch procedural police dramas on pretty much any other…

Too much fun. Reminds me of music school in the late '80s with the Mini Moog and ARP. Fond, patch-cabled memories.

For all of us "four eyes" out there, we might be out of luck. Guess it's time to finally give contacts a try...

Not even a mention of Snapz Pro X, the grandfather of Mac screen capture?

My only MacWorld was 1995, and it was fantastic. The entire Moscone Center was alive and buzzing. Quark had this amazing-looking new multimedia app to compete with Macromedia Director (Immedia, LOL!), and we came home with a 12x12 Wacom tablet and two Clarus "Moof!" hats. Still have the hats. We stayed at a…

It might indeed make you throw up, but don't presume we'd all react the same way you would.

Aw, give her a break. No qualified counselor knows the difference between a cosmic string and a quantum filament.

Very fun. But for how it's billed, definitely not enough dog-level footage. Those were the parts I enjoyed the most, and was hoping for more of that.
