Why eat popcorn? Popcorn is probably the worst thing to eat during a movie because you're just sitting down and having empty calories which just makes you FAT, like myself for instance.

Cool! But, wow, wouldn't it suck for him if some new technology came out and all he had was a small amount of memory in his fancy finger. I guess it could always be replaced, but it would be probably pretty expensive.

My favourite on screen calculator is by far my Ti83 Emulator. Very interesting, very fast. If you're in engineering or a higher level math it's a great solution when you can't afford a $120 calculator but you have a computer.

You probably can't blame ol' Billy or Stevie for this one. The refund was probably asked for by an accountant who made a mistake when giving out the severance package.

Comment Star Trek Inovation (Score 1) 100
This makes me think of all the good medical advances that came straight out of Star Trek. Like the air needle thing where you just shoot it at someone's arm and the stuff goes in their arm through air pressure. Something similar to that is being developed to help prevent the spread of HIV. And I'm sure you have all seen something similar to this cell phone blood tester in every single sci-fi film.
Comment Another cake? (Score 1) 270
I think Microsoft owes Mozilla another cake. This probably saved a lot of money and a few man hours for Microsoft. Or they can just let Mozilla bask in their humble glory.
