Sort of. The Mateba Unica 6 is the inspiration for the "Matever" used in GitS. Wicked looking, but not terribly practical. Complicated mechanism, difficult to build and expensive to buy.

This is what I came to the comments to say. DRM is a farce. I can abide DRM like Valve's Steam system, because it stays out of my way 90% of the time (and the extra functionality of Steam makes up for that other 10%).

fucking WIN. :D :D :D

It takes a lot of fuel to get across the ocean...

These are the cannibalistic, demon worshiping trolls. AKA, bad guys.

This. At that price, I'd rather just get a Wii and some games, or just more games for the systems I've already got.

I'll disagree with some of the others and say the third film was horrid, while the fourth was actually interesting (just not scary).

Actually, there's even songs about cunnilingus during a woman's period. It's out there.

Vital? No. Convenient? Yes.

I don't think you understand why e-ink is actually pretty cool. On the off chance you're actually interested: 1) e-ink does have the nice contrast which is very close to print on paper & 2) it consumes zero electricity once the page is displayed.

Magic has always had incredible art. The game itself is fun, but too expensive to really keep up with.

Yep, I've been using that in Chrome, but I recently switched back to Firefox. Luckily, the Klip.me service has a bookmarklet that works as well:

I guess some people don't get it. Cloud computing is basically a modern take on "dumb terminals," where there was a server (or cluster of servers) running all the apps, and people accessed them through what was basically just a monitor + keyboard.

I used to work for Boost Mobile's customer & technical support line. Buying used cell phone or SIM cards off the street is very common. And even stores tend to bulk-buy the phones & SIMs, so it's hard to track where they came from.

I've really not found anything Springpad is better at than Evernote. What's the "item type" functionality you mentioned?

Mossad is basically the Israeli equivalent of the CIA or MI-6. And krav maga is the Israeli military's martial arts style, which is made for modern close-quarters combat. It includes techniques for disarming a gun-wielding opponent, using their own gun against them, or using your gun while caught in hand-to-hand…

I'm afraid it's too little, too late. I gave the first season a shot, but the plodding pace and missed character opportunities* killed it for me. And it sounds like we've got the executives to blame, not the writers/producers.

I've tried Springpad, but I've yet to find a reason to use it over Evernote. Has anyone found a "killer app" for Springpad yet?
