By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] If you’ve got a little time to kill (over 55 minutes, actually), take a look at this great video by an ethnographer about the web’s participatory nature. What is ethnography you ask? Well, as explained to me by someone in an actual ethnography course, it’s the study of a […]
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] At the moment, I am hopelessly addicted to Mario Kart for the Nintendo DS so this article by the Daily Telegraph was quite interesting. It asks who the greatest ever gaming sidekicks are and offers ten candidates. I vote for Yoshi! Quite often, as I am finding with Mario […]
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] Did South Park go too far this time? That’s the question being posed by the Los Angeles Times after South Park came back this week from a several month hiatus. To me, the question is ridiculous. South Park ALWAYS goes too far – that’s what makes the programme so […]
Quantum Of Solace, the 22nd James Bond movie and the second to feature Daniel Craig, following his highly-acclaimed turn as 007 in 2006’s Casino Royale, opens in the UK on October 31, 2008, and the USA a week later.

by Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] I was just reading an article in PC World about “geek cuisine,” which apparently means caffeinated drinks/candy. I’m not sure why geeks are the only ones who have trouble staying awake; I know just as many law students as programmers who are chugging red bulls at 2am. In any […]
In the following clips, Australian photographer Keith Loutit used a tilt-shift camera lens to take pictures of people and objects and make them appear like miniature figurines. He then assembled the shots to build some pretty fantasic-looking time-lapse videos. Watch them right after the jump.
By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] It’s amazing the amount of emails that I received after my GAS story on Geek Squad. It seemed that everyone thought that I had a direct personal intimate connection to the CEO of Geek Squad and they wanted me to pass on all their customer service complaints to him […]
by Casey Lynn Contributing Writer, [GAS] The more I read about the RealDVD lawsuit (which I blogged last week), the more I feel like I’m listening to a broken record. Haven’t we heard this all before? Most recently, Wired pointed out how RealDVD is like a bong shop. After all, RealDVD clearly has a notice […]
