Okay. Gibson's prose is shit. It's overwrought and way too jargon-y. This is a vice that extends to earlier short-fiction as well, and while he largely outgrew it by the time he was writing the bridge, it's still a problem. The plotting is loose and sloppy with interludes like the couple Case hooks up with that don't…

Actually, yeah.

Nope. They seriously stank. Especially in the humour department.

It's inevitable. Obsidian's most likely moved people off the project due to the fact that it's basically done and they have other irons in the fire, but the South Park guys create a huge bottleneck because of their creative control.

Yeah, I mention it in my comment. My point is that what made the show kinda suck is that it focused on the Edisons. Imagine the playable characters defeating cheesy monsters of the week. Much stronger premise than the original show.

Deus ex has an incredibly dumb plot. It's literally freshman stoner room mate shit mashed up with really dated cyberpunk.

Psychonauts is super dark though. I mean try reading the kids' myspace pages.

Purcell is also, allegedly, a barely functional burnout. Which is disappointing. Also the telltale games sucked so hard

No. Maniac Mansion would make a better TV show because of its ensemble cast. Fit all the roles with strong comic actors and you've got something. The first show's failing was focusing on the Edisons. Well, that and including Eugene Levy.

Fun Fact!

Actually it's super common amongst small children (We're talking toddlers) with nutritional problems.

Border-blasting continued for decades after the fact. XERF-AM for instance was p. well known in the sixties for blasting first-run Wolfman Jack tapes across the southern US before they got sent out in syndication. It wasn't a pirate station, it was part of a huge and highly influential media complex that basically…

The California law in question specifies that the device must be installed in the car, and it must disable entertainment/business functions while moving if it's got 'em. Glass definitely doesn't do that.

Uh, actually there is.

Actually in Cali they are supposed to ticket you for that. The cop will generally let you go, but they're not supposed to because, under state law, any screen has to disable functionality other than Music and GPS whilst driving.

It's already illegal. California law w/r/t screen use in cars defines what's allowable, rather than what isn't, and Glass doesn't meet the standard because it's not physically installed in the car and it's doesn't selectively disable functionality based on whether or not the car's going.

Double-checked. It is not legal to use a cell-phone as GPS in California. It is only legal to use devices installed in the car, either when you buy it or aftermarket stuff, and only if they lock out functions other than GPS and Music while you drive. Your smartphone is not installed in your car, and it does not…

Actually, you do have to take your eye off the road to look at Glass. So yeah, it's the same as using your phone as GPS, which you really shouldn't do unless you've got a mount for it on the dash.

No, she's going to lose because she was speeding 15 miles over the limit, and as noted on Ars Technica, the fact that her dumb glasses have entertainment and phone functionality means that by the letter of the law and government guidelines, glass isn't an exception.

She was using her dumb google glasses and going 15 miles over the limit. It's entirely appropriate and correct that she was charged.
