Between this, Big Hero 6, and Guardians of the Galaxy I think the reign of the dark and gritty hero movie may be coming to an end. It had a good run, but it nice to see something different.

Just saying you're learning or just learned to drive stick will open automotive doors. I got to drive a late model NSX when I was in a freshmen in college because a family friend just bought one and someone else mentioned that I just learned to drive stick. He was like "you wanna take it for a drive?" HELL YES I…

A fusion ST would be a great spiritual successor to the Mazdaspeed 6. Actually, it would almost be a direct successor considering the 6 and the fusion shared the same platform back then...

Picked up a diamondclean from Target in SF this past weekend for $95 on clearance (including the current $15 sonicare coupon). Get one quick if your target still has any left.

Before Prometheus I would have cheered for Ridley Scott to take on a project like The Martian. Now I think he's just a bit too... "I'm the director and I know my shit don't question me" for that kind of project. The Martian needs the same treatment that Gravity got, and I'm not sure if Scott can put his (arguably…

If they wanted a more "pirate-y" feel they could have made it look more like swords instead of some tribal knockoff. The current Corsair logo is pretty brilliant as it is though. Its one of those understated logos that when you see it conveys all you need to know about the name and origin with minimal fuss. I'd put…

The worst are the stickers or the stick on chrome letters from the dealership. When i got my new car i had those letters removed on my first servicing. This used to be an east coast only thing but now I'm seeing it creeping to the west coast. My suggestion is when you have almost finished signing the papers to tell…

The fact that most of the stuff seems like practical really amazed me. I thought they would go full CG for this, but nothing really beats people in suits and some fancy wirework.

Droid Maxx is an unlocked world phone (even when bought on contract), so if you want to use it on ATT/T-Mobile you could, just without LTE (baseband issues). A used Droid Maxx isn't that expensive for a phone that pretty much as every feature you need (decent sized screen, dedicated buttons, big battery, wireless…

not sure if "pop Sarah" and "opera Sarah" can even be compared to each other. I love Sarah brightman, but her pop stuff (Fleur de mal) and her opera stuff (conte partiro) are just... Different. If you want to find someone with ease of voice that can span pop and opera in one song then Tarja Turunen is my best…

i hope if they do go AWD they do it with a real center diff instead of the Haldex AWD on the Mazdaspeed 6. Haldex is like AWD-lite. It works in a pinch, but you're definitely not gonna be doing any fancy torque vectoring shenanigans or have a rear biased torque split. It will however do fine to get you traction in…

Mazda kinda does this, but doesn't go overboard with it. Their "zoom-zoom" campaign is pretty much an easier to swallow "soul" campaign. Oh, and their cars can actually uphold the image the marketers gave them, which kinda helps.

thats easy... countach all the way. Hot Wheels are what sell these cars, and I had a yellow Countach when I was little. Wouldn't want anything else ( well, except maybe a yellow Diablo SV)

You know what movie did a great job of this? Non-Stop. It had just as much to do with the text on the screen as it did with the "ding!" and vibration when a message was received. And when he receives a message on banged up and cracked screen? Pretty cool.

its got a bit too much Chrysler 300c for it to look good now unfortunately, but had they done it then I think it would have looked pretty amazing. It looks like they kinda kept that roofline for the a7 though.

The hobby chargers handle constant current quite well, but I think this system takes it one step up and actually picks the charge current automatically instead of having a set charge current. That way you can pump max current for any cell until it either gets too hot or hits a charge threshold, and that max current…

So they made a... metal and plastic Moto X? Not necessarily a bad thing, but definitely not anything to write home about and upgrade immediately. I think the Moto X (and to a lesser extent the Droid Maxx) has set the bar quite high for sub 5" phones.

Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy (any of the first three books). Sometimes you just need some absurd humor for your day. Book 4 (So Long and Thanks for All the Fish) got a bit serious (not a bad thing) and Book 5 (Mostly Harmless) got a bit depressing.

So.... Are they just remaking Unreal Tournament 2004? That was pretty much the pinnacle of "pure" arena based fps, and I don't think it needs to be remade.

I was gonna say... its sounds like its running a bit rough. Or maybe does just sound like a pissed off weedwacker all the time?
