Works fine for me... though I'm in Canada and it appears as if I default search with Google.ca, so that could be something...

Gizmodo has switched over to the Gawker-style commenting system?!? No, no, no, no!

Ah, the future. Where everyone is equal and there's no discrimination whatsoever. Except those who were genetically engineered before their birth through no fault of their own. KILL THEM ALL!

3. To be fair, you list three movies from 2005-08 as costing $150m for the first movie and that being understandable, with it not being until the sequels that you spend a lot. Now first films are costing $200m and that's too much for a first film, it's sequel money.

Whoa now, don't go killing SMS! Some of us don't have smart phones yet!

I really, really, really am not trying to start anything, but I think this is one reason people hate capitalism. A business splitting into two companies so they an sell part of their business but keep another so they can stay profitable but losing the loss... it's all very confusing, and it just seems wrong.

Hell, WMP and iTunes both that far longer to boot up than they should on my relatively modern computer today.

I think the spirit of Winamp does live on today through VLC. A simple, efficient, free program that, frankly, works better than anything else. Winamp may be all but dead, but it lives on (successful, until Aol buys VLC) in spiit.

Yeah, that ending and the start of the following season was huge. I wouldn't be surprised if the BSG example cited was influenced by that finale. The end of the season, the station is taken over by the bag guys, and the next season opens with the bad guys in control and what few good guys remain trying to save…

So this isn't the launch of the original Microsoft Surface? Boo-urns!

I don't think I gave up on the first season, because I never really got into it. There were those Hallmark moments, and there were also those historical moments that made me wonder if the series was getting funding from the Department of Education or something. "The aliens are going to attack any minute! We need to…

Not to get all uppidy (and I'm sure I'm not the first), but Star Trek 1 came out in 1979, it was called The Motion Picture, and was directed by Robert Wise. Not sure if it hit its release date or not (tough to say, as it was originally a pilot for a new TV series). Star Trek 2 was, of course The Wrath of Khan, and I…

It applies to those lesser beings! People just can't use it to refer to us. Only we can use it to refer to ourselves.

Has that been proved? I was wondering what stones they were talking about, is that a common expression? I think I hear "stones" used to refer to what's between my legs more often than I've heard it used to refer to what's between the legs of clouds when there's hail...

That's actually a pretty cool idea and may have inspired me.

I think the invention of modern languages is a little more recent than the migration of one of our species' ancestors.

As a higher primate myself, I object to any classification that places monkeys among the higher primates. I demand a retraction. Don't make me sick the higher primate lobby on you. The orangutans will sue you in court while the gorillas break your knees out of court.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised to see this is one of the few sports that the UK fields one "national" team opposed to four (or three and a half, as the case may be).

To be fair, it's a pretty decent theory. I mean, it's either going to make you immortal or kill you, definitely one or the other.

Was the 16th century really "thousands of years" after the third century?
