‘Futurama’ Comes to Life! (Sort Of) [Pictures]

Last year, CG designer Jared Krichevsky created a life-like Dr. Zoidberg from “Futurama” — which was a far cry from the rounded, monochrome 2-D character.

This time, he’s added to his “Futurama” repertoire, creating more characters from the cult cartoon ,as if they existed in real life.

New Skyfall Posters

It seems the new bond movie has released a set of new posters for the upcoming release. Down at Word of the Nerd, they seem to think these a little boring and don’t really tell us much about the movie and are therefore duds.

What do you guys think? Dull or sleek?

Wolverine Claws Acquired

Got the yellow spandex and but can’t find that last touch for your wolverine outfit? Here’s a set of “adamantium” claws so you can create a more complete costume.

Sadly, they are not made of indestructible metals, but indeed are actually made of plastic. But hey, be convincing enough and people will still run in terror.

Microsoft and Netflix Executive to Stay Supportive of Facebook

When Facebook went public, it didn’t quite do as well as expected and come August 16th, companies will be allowed to dump their Facebook stock.

It seems Microsoft doesn’t want to jump off the Facebook bandwagon just yet, seeing their 1.7 percent ownership of the company (26.2 million shares) as a strategic investment, not a short-term cash cow.

The top executive of Netflix, who is also a board member, apparently has also purchased several shares of the company.

It would seem not everyone is ready to give up on Facebook. What would you do if you had shares in Facebook?

Personally, I’ve made the leap over to Google Plus (check out Geeks Are Sexy on Google+ here). Social networking is being done right over there, and I reckon that’s the future, since Google is supported by all its other products, you’re not going to be flooded with ads on Google+. I could go on for hours…

Epic Darth Vader Tee

The only thing wrong with this is that it’s a kids t-shirt, so they only stock sizes for infants to 7 year olds. Regardless, if you’ve got kids, put them in this. Because it’s hilarious.

If Fonts Had Voices…

If fonts had voices, this might be what they’d sound like.

I have to be honest though, I’m not sure I agree with many of these. I won’t go into the details of how much I have pictured different fonts in different voices though…that’s a much more intimate conversation.

I did like “Helvetica is obviously the hipster font…”
