Some amazing stuff — hope many of these same vendors make it to Comic-Con later this year!

So timely — I just finished my first Mass Effect 3 playthrough... with a FemShep Engineer. Great powerset!

Wow, only now do I realize that God of War is just a hi-res Black Tiger!

So, wait. A USB3.0 flash drive won't work in a USB2.0 port? 2.0 devices are backwards-compatible to 1.0 connections; I don't have any 3.0 stuff, so is the actual connector different?

I'll be interested in seeing all the possible endings... but not until I've played through one of those endings on my own, unassisted by the interwebz.

640x960? Really? Thanks for posting that — you just saved me a buck. :-)

Ditto that! Skipped the whole FB charlie-foxtrot.

Candybar (from Panic and Iconfactory) lets you customize your dock, along with your system icons, too.

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. :-)
