So by now everyone knows that Disney acquired Lucas Films and plans to make a new Star Wars episode. If you didn’t hear about it directly from an article, I’m sure you’ve realized from the slew of memes mashing Disney and Star Wars together. You would have thought that Disney would have ridden the wave […]
It’s one of those things that Apple fans love to lord over the PC-lovers and, more recently, the Android-lovers. Viruses and malware. Apple just seems to get fewer. It probably has to do with the fact that the Google Play system is a lot more open than the Apple App Store. With all the good […]
Are you a web app developer who also happens to be a Trekkie? Well you may be able to win yourself and a friend a trip to the Star Trek Convention in San Francisco. A company called New Relic, in conjunction with the blog Venture Beat, have launched an advertising campaign that gives web developers […]
Last week I commented that Apple’s attempts to take severe liberties when posting an official statement clearing Samsung of violating their patents were a “skillful piece of public relations writing.” It turns out the judge who ordered the statement to be published strongly disagrees. Apple was forced to put the statement on its site after […]
Google gets ready to piss Apple off (some more) and takes on iTunes. Oh, and Amazon too. Google actually launched its music service last November, but it hasn’t really taken off. In fact, since major label Warner Music was holding out, the whole thing was hampered by a lack of good music. That has now changed, […]

Just recently I showed you Empty San Francisco, where Photoshop nerd Ross Ching created a time lapse of iconic images of San Francisco edited to eliminate the actual people. Well Mr. Ching should have been getting down to New York over the weekend. With Hurricane Sandy on its way, the city is practically deserted as […]
By Natania Barron Contributing Writer, [GAS] There are hobbits at Denny’s. I’m supposed to be excited about this. I’m supposed to be frothing at the mouth, declaring victory for second breakfast and showing up in my own home-made hobbit feet, singing The Road Goes Ever On and On and snapping pictures on my iPhone every […]
If you ever watched Star Trek, I’m sure you’ve fantasized about one day being able to say, “Lock a tractor beam on that ship! Don’t let them escape!” It can’t be only me right? Well, you know that there are definitely a couple of (thousand) physicists out there who want that sort of power. And […]
Ok, so technically it never really died, but it all depends on your frame of reference (nerdy physics joke…you earn stellar points if you get it). Basically, this cute little doggy, named Ethan, managed to survive being poisoned and buried alive. It’s unclear who tried to do this dastardly deed but it seems Ethan was […]
