Boohoo. Am I distracting you from operating on dying babies or digging water pits in Ghana? Don’t bother to reply if my question annoys you.

I thought the first Star Trek was brilliant, while the second one was not bad either. What issues did you have with them?

I don’t see a point in comparing the prequels to any other movie. On their own, each of them was a bad movie due to failed dialogue and missed attempts at humor. I think the general storylines could have been very interesting and compelling but the execution of them was really bad, making the movie as a whole bad.

It’s also cute how every time there is an Apple post, there is a flurry of people posting “isn’t it funny how Apple Sheep, iTards, Apple enthusiasts etc....” without actually looking at the facts.

The “minority report” was that one of the pre cogs made a different prediction than the other two (hence the minority). It has nothing to do with the stopping of the murder.

As a Dutch person I approve of this.

This does not have anything to do with good innovation but with a lack of it. VW has actively opposed and hindered research into electric and hydrogen powered cars when BMW and Mercedes were actively researching into these fields.

Cars can be removed from or denied to the road if their certification is not valid. Whether they are safe makes no difference. Car manufacturers obtain licenses to sell in specific markets based on their adherence to regulations and their certification based in that.

Apple does it all the time, and yes testing confirms that they post realistic battery life of their laptop range.

Where did I say that they needed to kill all Avengers? Don’t put words in my mouth. And I don’t care whether quicksilver died or not. He isn’t part of the core avengers team in the film franchise. No one cared about him or his sister. They were the equivalent of red shirts in Star Trek. Introduced to be killed off,

500 people a day on Kinja “win the Internet for the day”. People need to find a new comment, it is getting old.

Easy. It was the night I first kissed the first woman I ever loved when I was 15. I couldn’t sleep after it and listened to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album the entire night. That album still makes me happy (ironic isn’t it) and still reminds me of that night with a true sense of wonder.

This movie sucked badly. At this point we know nothing bad will ever happen to the Avengers, so all suspense is out of the door. Someone needs to die if we get a new film, otherwise this generic bad guy bashing does not make any sense anymore,

Agree. What Gizmodo and most of the others fail to mention is that a big part of the 30 million library of Spotify are compilation album of 3rd rate covers of popular songs. Specifically created to rack up plays.

Yes it is. Everywhere on the net where people can exchange opinions, discuss, etc is social media. Even forums and those have been around for decades.

When I recline, I always have a short discussion with the person behind me. Usually (in Europe at least) the seats recline above the knee of the person behind you, so there is no decrease in leg space for the person behind you. Nevertheless I check whether there is not a laptop or food, or a 8 foot person behind me.

MURICA!!!! Let’s sue everyone!!!!!

This is not correct. Surgeons and physicians develop new methods and need to publish these in the same way as other scientists do. They are subject to the same statistical and scientific scrutiny as everyone else. None of the theory about vaccines and the way we use them should be alien to either of these two groups.

Plex also announced an Apple TV app. I think it was on Appleinsider or 9to5mac.

That sounds about equally stupid as saying that you don't buy an iPhone because you hate Apple fanboys.
