I just had the honor of meeting Mr Lee at Comic Con New Orleans, and he's so gracious and kind to the fans. It's a moment I'll remember forever.

16 Lights? What, was this car built by Cardassians? Picard does not approve.

Dude, a Lexus is just a "gussied-up FWD" Toyota Camry. Acura and Lexus are both "upscale" luxury marques produced by regular Japanese manufacturers. There's no difference.

This was predicted (like most things, I find) in cyberpunk long ago. It's called a smartgun. Such a beast can also work with an IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) system so that the gun will not fire when pointed at a teammate or even a civilian.

Winamp. It really whips the llama's ass.

I only know him from the Watchmen movie, but I don't get the hate. That movie was done as well as it could possibly have ever been done.

So I guess I'm the only one who's only halfway finished? :(

And here I was thinking "End of Evangelion". But I suppose that was less depressing and more brain raping horror, but it was still pretty goddamned depressing.

Who the hell bittorrents porn anymore when you can stream all you want for free?

"Maybe this is what we get for an iPhone whose back isn't made out of shatter-prone glass, but scratch-prone aluminum. Maybe you should get a far more durable Galaxy SIII or Lumia 920 if you're worried about cosmetic longevity."

Thanks... I'm more about the principle of the thing than worried about my own personal interest at this point. I'm less concerned about owning something than having the right to do so if I ever want to.

These look pretty damned cool, actually. This could make the basis of a pretty nice cyberpunk film. The problem is with calling it Akira and making explicit the connection to the anime original. It's just fine to buy the rights to Akira in order to make a movie based on it's plot elements, just don't pretend it's a…

I made those complaints myself. Stick to the source material. Same thing with the stupid whitewashing of the Dragonball and Last Airbender movies. Physical characteristics in casting are important, the actor should look like the character they're portraying. It's not a race thing, it's an accuracy thing.

It had red LED lights and a 9-volt battery, man. That was high tech as all hell for the late 70s. I remember seeing the ads on TV for it when it was mail-order only and it was TEH FUTURE. I wanted one so bad, but it was expensive as hell and no one I knew could afford one. We all wanted one, but nobody actually had…

Perhaps not, but the PMRC invaded the US in the 1980, and it was only through the brave efforts of Dee Snider, Frank Zappa, Dave Mustaine, and John Denver that music remained free.

Apple trickery, and you've fallen for it. That "iOS 6" is NOT the same as the 5 gets, or even the 4s or 4. They withhold features even when the devices can handle them (no Siri on 4, for example) and call it the same version number even though it's just a security and stability update.
