Am I the ONLY one amused by the way it took 6 posts before someone even remotely objected. And am I also the only one laughing at massive outrage and disgust being so delicately referred to as "ethical issues"?

It will also work if you look at the wheel as it goes past a picket fence, the gaps between the pickets making a zoetrope.

He's in the first clip too, getting out of the car as the camera pans past.

Second and third sentences of the second paragraph:

That is very cute. It's a shame that the Jedi in question will no longer be a part of the Jedi order, as Jedis aren't allowed love or marriage.

Except that this material compresses. It's not rigid at all. You'd get more protection from a paper bag.

That's hardly a fair comparison. Those "Older" tablets were ruggedized for use in-the-field (Hey, look what happens to an iPad when you put a ruggedizing case on it) and were also considerably heavier.

Dear gods no! Please, don't remind Lucas of this, he's raped our childhoods enough by now, don't you think?

Not really. "Then who, or what, created the nonhuman intelligence that 'fiddled' with life on Earth?"

You know, when I looked at that picture, I thought it was of Jewel Staite. Combine that with Nathan Fillion and we've got FireFly! I'm also glad to see that "Worth" from the awesome movie "Cube" is still making the dough and working in the industry.

External SSDs? Nope, I got nothing.

Same here. And the drop-on charging stand is also a godsend. Not to mention the sheer awesomeness of the "Auto hyperscroll" - It click-click-clicks until you scroll the wheel at a (user adjustible) speed, at which point the ratchet disengages and the wheel just spins and spins until you stop it. Makes paging through a…

Wasn't the Dark Tower series meant to be tying in with a movie or two? 'cause the movie has officially been canned by Universal (As stated by Universal's chief on this very site not yesterday: [io9.com])
