Powerful stuff. Thanks for posting this video- I'll try to remember this when I'm old.

Ah- and Wizard of Oz? Same deal or is that reasoning actually valid there?

I always thought it had something to do with Disney and copyright finally expiring, stuff entering the public domain, etc. It's the only reason I could think of tons of the same topic all re-entering into the mainstream all at the same time. Kinda like why there's a couple of Wizard of Oz projects coming up soon.

"The Charizard of Bros"

Well, they aren't really different identities- more just like different sides of your one identity. Your work, personal life both equally make up part of your identity but it can even be the interplay between the two that define who you are. You might have coworkers who are also friends- but it doesn't mean they see…

Very often I found myself appreciating the show more having read the books. A conversation between Tyrion and his father for example: In the show you have a dialogue back and forth, but in the books you know what Tyrion is thinking when he responds, or how he interprets his father's retort. Having that knowledge while…

I have no problems with anything you said, to each his own. To me, however, the entire series is about rooting for the Starks, an absolutely decimated family (which, let's face it, a lot of ours are) and seeing them able to rebuild, and keeping the hope they can one day come together again.

Agreed. Even using "reward" as a measure of good TV is ridiculous. Feeling pain, shock or sadness from a narrative isn't "rewarding" - but it is evocative, it makes you feel something which much more relevant than the moments of instant gratification built into reality TV and sitcoms.

Agreed, but there's a difference between telling people "You should watch from season 1, first" or "Don't even try to watch this." The latter almost implies even if you go back, you'll still be confused, because you're stupid.

Let's just put it this way... My Fiancé who is not into fantasy at all, who makes fun of me (in a playful way) that I have played D&D - got interested in Game of Thrones because she was watching it over my shoulder, and literally GOT MAD AT ME because I started watching it without her. Now SHE ASKS ME to have Game of…

All eyes should be on this comment. All others are irrelevant.

Awesome, epic-ly good picks.

Yes, love this post. RDJ would probably do an excellent job...but really anyone but Kutcher.

What, you don't like my comment??

Sums up everything wrong with this article. Sam is worried the Note has the potential to penetrate his relatively unchallenged market. If bigger does mean better than Apple better get some enlargement pills, or they could be caught with their pants down.

Agreed- competition is good. It seems like Sam is more bothered by the fact that someone would try to make something new that might challenge apple, rather than the design of the product itself. If he were genuinely looking out for consumers, the tech industry as a whole he would see the more competing products, the…

I know these type of articles are designed to have people react and comment outraged at the presumptions made in the article- so all I'm going to say is that even if this is badly designed, it doesn't matter because the more choices available on the market, the better. Also, we learn from failure- so don't be so quick…

I only use G+ for work, cause I have to but apart from that- not a single person I know actively uses G+, and many of my friends are engineers, gamers and overall "tech" people. Maybe it depends on the person, but for me it's definitely abandoned.

We're seeing different things then.

Also, the +1 link on every article is prominent, FB and Twitter links hidden in dropdown menu...
