I think the difference is that Google doesn’t take a cut from apps in the exact way Apple does. Apple charges all transactions made through their app store except for physical goods (pizza, amazon purchases, movie tickets, etc). They only take a cut from things like e-books, digital music, and in this case,…

I can’t study on an e-reader. I’ve even tried it on the iPad and it’s no good. Even when I’m doing some recreational studying like Dummies books or reading the D&D player’s handbook, an e-reader just doesn’t cut it. For page-to-page text, I almost always use my Kindle though.

The obvious presence of wires during flight/fight scenes really bothered me, even as a kid, but god damn if this isn’t one of the most gorgeous movies I’ve ever seen.

You need a job as a casting director.

Reminds me of David Ives’ ‘Sure Thing.’ My drama class threw this together once in high school. I kept forgetting my lines but the guy in charge of the bell came through for me and rang it every time I got stuck. Nobody in the audience caught on.

I have a EeeBook X205TA and use it as my primary web browsing machine. It has some major software quirks but it’s a very capable little machine. The audio is weird if you don’t update the bios, it hounds at you to lower the volume every single time you plug the headphones in, it sometimes doesn’t wake up from sleep,…

It’s a bit complicated, but yes, I do. Basically, I jerk in such a finite way that it kind of messes up my sex life. When I do it by myself, I usually orgasm within a minute and get on with my day. When I’m with a partner, I either can’t stay hard or can’t orgasm at all unless I’m the one to do it.

It’s like this whole article was written for me.

Hey wow, that actually works! Just tried it in Spanish and Italian, too!

I find it irritating that nobody has at least tried to tackle formal and informal translation when it’s an enormous part of certain languages (Tu/Usted, Tu/Vous, Tu/Lei, Du/Sie). As a Spanish speaker, I’ll try to write the Tu/Usted form then translate it to whatever language I’m working on. The thing is though, even th…

I’ve been learning Italian for the past six months, and let me tell you, these are all good in their own right, but you’re better off paying for something that gives you more structure. I do use these, especially duolingo and memrise (I’d also cast my vote for the magazine app, Issuu) but they’re more of a supplement…

Any word if the Wii purchases will roll over to Wii U? I have Mario 64, Mario Kart, and Majora’s Mask from the Wii eShop I can’t use anymore because my classic control decided it didn’t want to live anymore.

Are they taking orders for 3D printed people now or is it too early? I'd like to pre-order Paul Rudd if possible. Please, thanks.

I need to get to my local rule34 board promptly.

Final Fantasy Tactics convinced me that Jesus was probably just a man that the church deified to advance its own political agenda.

Recently gave up my WP8 Nokia for a Moto G and I really regret it. Unfortunately, the biggest reason I gave it up is because there was no good Google Hangouts app and I use my Google Voice number quite a bit for work so I can't just switch back. I think the limited appstore is the only thing holding it down because on…

She is. She "came out" on the final issue of this last Young Avengers run. Seriously good comic, btw.

A buddy of mine has the HP Slatebook 14 and from the little I messed around with it, Android doesn't make a bad OS at all. It helps that the laptop has a touch screen though. Certain apps (read: most) don't work without it.
