As Peter and Lev were both out this week, Steve and I took over The Techland Show. (Muhahaha.)
Given free reign of the couch meant that the game of the week was also under our control. So what else could two non-gamers do when forced to pick up a controller, but seek out the nearest bit of comfy nostalgia? Plus let’s face it, Super …
You guys remember Ananth Panagariya from AppleGeeks, right? You know, from Thanksgiving. Anyway, Techland has an exclusive preview of Panagariya’s upcoming “MySpace Dark Horse Presents: Callie Eats Feathers.” I’m not even entirely sure how to explain it. Yuko Ota’s art is really, really creepy, but in a delightfully awesome way. …
Very few people have access to Steve Jobs the way someone like, say, Walt Mossberg does. At the iPad event on Wednesday, the Goatberg had a nice little chat with Steve Jobs about the Kindle, battery life and whether or not he would be writing his review on the iPad, which Jobs wholeheartedly encouraged.
(More on Techland: Hands-on …
Sometime in the late ’80s, master hacker Kevin Phenicle, a.k.a. “Boingthump,” went underground. For a few years, until the law caught up with him, he drifted around the country, constantly changing his appearance, creating new identities for himself, and making money by rigging radio station call-in contests. That’s the story covered by …
Part macabre horror film and part cruel logic puzzle, it’s the simplicity of the premise that makes Frozen so haunting.
Rarely has a movie been so easy to explain: Two best friends, and one girlfriend, are on a chairlift headed up to 10,000 feet late one Sunday night when the ski resort shuts down the ride. They’re closing early …
No, I didn’t make the 2,100-mile trek to the Sundance Film Festival this year (I was too busy surveying the most underrated sci-fi epics of all-time). No slush and chaos for me.
But as I was perusing this year’s festival catalogue, looking for Techland-friendly titles, there were two that jumped out and grabbed my imagination. The …
Update: What did you think of the new episode of Caprica? Read our analysis, and weigh in on the debate, right here.
Given the love and passion out there among fans of Battlestar Galactica, I’ve been surprised by the muted response I’ve encountered when it’s come to BSG prequel Caprica. Maybe that’s because the original pilot …
Hoo boy, what a haul this week! I dropped more coin on Wednesday than I have in a long, long time. And for my considerable dollars I got some great shots for Panel of the Week. Kick-Ass finally lived up to his name. Marvel wrapped up the longest labor in history with Cap Reborn. Green Lantern did his best Zool impression. Parasite …
Scanning things isn’t exactly rocket science but if you’ve ever owned a scanner, I bet you’ve had friends and family members drop off stacks of old photos for you to “just scan real quick!”
And if you really got down to the heart of the matter, you might find that the reason regular people don’t scan their own photos is either pure …
Mother Teresa? Yeah, she was a hero. Prince? He seems more suited for fiction, anyway.
Billy Ray Cyrus? …
There is no ounce of perspective I can offer as to why Billy Ray Cyrus the comic ever seemed like even a moderately good idea. (Let me know if you have a hunch.)
In a world that will soon feature some other pretty …
English artist Nick Gentry makes use of basically obsolete tech dinosaurs the floppy disc and VHS tape in this pretty rad collection of paintings.
The best part: Most of these are for sale at a pretty decent price. (Check out more at nickgentry.co.uk.)
This really makes my VHS bookends feel artistically inferior… Anyone out there …
Way to take all the fun out of the Apple event, McGraw-Hill. Thanks. Really. Jump to the 2:50 minute mark.
“Yeah, Very exciting. Yes, they’ll make their announcement tomorrow on this one. We have worked with Apple for quite a while. And the Tablet is going to be based on the iPhone operating system and so it will be transferable.
