A friend direct me to this fellow over at RedLetterMedia.com who review all the greatest sci-fi, fantasy, and action movies but hammers them into the ground pointing out all the plot holes, character problems, and all the assorted mistakes, ad nauseum. Checkout this clip (part 1 of 7) of his...
I have often wondered what it would be like to have any movie, any TV show, any documentary, any news broadcast, any historical footage, any sports event, any album, any song, any radio drama, and any thing at all of that or similar nature at my very beck and call....
nMediaPc, the self-proclaimed leading Home Theater PC component manufacturer, has released a retro-looking PC case which should have every steampunk enthusiast oohing and awing… not only over the appearance of the case, but also its affordable price. Although the retail price is $120, it is currently selling for around $89...
I just stumbled across this book on Amazon.com and haven’t been able to stop laughing for the past two hours (I may need to call my doctor… although he might die of laughter too). I love irony. Yes, it is a real book. Excuse me. I must get back to...

Last week, Publisher’s Weekly reported that book publishers may be loosing $3 billion a year due to online book piracy. Piffle. The same absurd arguments have, of course, been used by the MPAA and RIAA about online movie and music piracy. $3 billion is nothing, NOTHING, compared to the trillions...
Windowed user interfaces have remained the dominate, all-pervasive interface since the mid to late 1980s for all but the most specialized computer systems. Irreverently donated “WIMP” type interfaces (window, icon, menu, pointer), they are indeed versatile, flexible, and more-or-less intuitive, to say nothing of their 25+ year establishment as the...
“Doctor Who” ranks pretty high on my list of ultimate sci-fi series–in fact, it is probably the ultimate Steampunk sci-fi series of all time, hands down. And well it should be, as it has been running for over 45 years, albeit with a sizeable gap between the classic and the...
