    Apple is always so clever at their BS ads. And people are so gullible they believe it every time. When Apple can't win the competition, they sue em, just like with Samsung, or just out and out lie about how they were "first" at something or somehow better. I've been around a lot of years and seen the growth and tactics of both companies, an Apple user for over 20 of those years. The crap they dumped in the hands of manufacturing production was an absolute atrocity, I know because I had to deal with it on a daily basis.

Below is what I got so far. Most of the memes on the Internet cut off her body and part of her head. I found this much wider angle shot. Something about it seems... off. Is this a still capture from a video?  Can anyone tell me where this originated on the Internet? Thanks in advance.

I'm not a heavy poster on instagram although I do follow quite a few friends. I'm also not a heavy browser on the phone.  I know that the Blackberry 10 OS is new and there aren't that many apps out there. But keeping in mind that all I do on the phone is the stuff above, wouldn't the blackberry be the better. I know that its packages are cheaper here.  The one thing that I will miss though is the…

    Leland Pierce
    17 May 2013 | 10:39 am
    Star Trek Into Darkness is the twelfth installment in the Star Trek franchise and the sequel to 2009′s Star Trek. J.J. Abrams once again directs with a screenplay written by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman and Damon Lindelof. This new adventure brings back all of our favorite crew members, adds some new ones, and gives us one hell of a ride from start to finish. The movie is reverential, faithful, and steeped in “Trek” mythology. Good or bad, this is a damn fun movie that Trekkies new and old can enjoy.

    I’ve spent about two hours walking from one theater to another trying to find someplace showing a film I might actually feel excited to watch. I failed, and now my feet are killing me. This odyssey took me to five theaters in different places downtown, boasting a grand total of something like 40 different screens – and only showing seven or eight unique movies across the lot of them. Thanks Hollywood. All it takes is for me to be predisposed against the blockbuster of the week, because there are no real alternatives. “I’m in the city, I might as well go see a movie” is no longer…

Then we jump over and join SHIELD as Coulson lives in the trailer for the upcoming series. There are plenty of predictions as our crew tries their hand at prophetic visions.

As I didn’t find anything fitting via Google, I researched how to build a custom ContractResolver that only serializes the Properties belonging to my business model class type T: public class DerivedTypeFilterContractResolver<T> : DefaultContractResolver { protected override…

  • Routine, Change and Failure

    Akku
    14 Apr 2013 | 7:36 am
    Whenever I read that you should embrace failure, I think that many people won’t get the point. The human mind loves routine. Routine is a series of steps you’ve done before, in a way that’s always the same. When you know something works in a certain way, it’s a safe feeling that you know what’s coming. It’s the opposite of danger, and the fear that’s connected to danger. When you read somewhere that you should embrace failure, they really mean that you should change. Change always has a positive effect, and if it hasn’t (you failed!) you can…

    In the first year of business, you have literally no data for making decisions and predictions.Even after the first hundred customers, half of those were serendipitous one-offs, not representative of repeatable, controllable customer acquisition, and the scale of the data isn’t statistically significant.One of the root questions you have at the start, which is supposed to be data-driven (but you don’t have data) is: What’s the maximum I should bid for CPC (cost-per-click) campaigns like Google AdWords?The answer for a funded startup is “Bid as much as possible, to get…

    John 'Spartan' Nguyen

    RoosterTeeth’s Let’s Play videos and other YouTube videos have been targeted by Nintendo for copyright infringement. The money that the Let’s Play channel gets from any video containing a Nintendo game will now go to Nintendo. According to YouTuber’s Zack Scott, Nintendo is using the “content ID match” to find out which videos are using Nintendo game footage. Since Zack Scott makes money out of these videos, he wasn’t too pleased with Nintendo’s actions. Here’s what he had to say from his Facebook post: I just want to express my feelings on…

Now, Joss Whedon has confirmed it himself to IGN. “You know, they had a rough beginning. They’re interesting to me because they sort of represent the part of the world that wouldn’t necessarily agree with The Avengers. So they’re not there to make things easier.

We play online against the world and we play in private matches against each other. That said, not a single one of us bought the Season Pass, so each of us has shelled out 15 bucks for each new map pack, and the latest, dubbed Uprising, is no exception. But was it worth it?

My personal preference has always been the cup style headphones as opposed to ear buds, so when Wicked Audio contacted us to do a review of their new 3D Series line of headphones, I was happy to oblige.To be clear, the 3D refers to the raised lettering and graphics found on the band and cups.

    G.I. Joe: Retaliation is an odd sequel. With only 1 1/2 returning cast members and an entirely new look and behind-the-scenes team, it feels more like a reboot than a sequel. However, it IS a sequel–the plot directly references the first one in several key places, and entirely ignores the first one in other aspects, some of them quite large as well. It’s a muddled concept from the start. It’s not a total failure, though. The disconnect from the first movie probably won’t bother most, since the general reaction to it was rather poor. That first movie really aimed to be…

The sun is really, really big and if it were to scale, Mercury and Earth would be very difficult to see. Eventually, you will be able to add and remove elements. I’m building an asteroid belt that will orbit the sun and people will be able to mess with it. Pluto will only be available for the pro version. It’s not consider a part of the universe anymore, so it’ll be a nice bonus.

  • 10 ways you know you’re in a Millennial relationship

    Stewie
    17 May 2013 | 6:21 pm
    Ah the Millennials… that generation of Tweeting, Keeking, Vining, Yelping, Instagramming, and Liking instant gratification lovers, whose attention span is shorter than Peter Dinklage. Not like I even knew I was a Millennial until like… a year ago, because I am apparently behind the times on terminology. But yeah. Apparently, Gen Y, aka Millennial, is a thing. And I are one of them. And sometimes, like all good things, Millennials come in pairs. I happen to be part of a Millennial couple. And here is how you’ll know if you are too. 1.

Check out the collection at Quay Eyeware of Australia I’ve loved Spirit Hoods for so long now that I hate to think I could have been saving up money this whole time to buy one!

    It started innocently enough. At Camp Crystal Lake with Counselor Freddy… He wanted to play a little game. A Game of Bows. One little bow won’t hurt I thought… it’s just one. It’s just small. But the bow took on a life of its own. They began to theme themselves with holidays, like St. Paddy’s Day, and color coordinate with my make-up. It was beginning to become a nightmare. Suddenly, one bow wasn’t enough. I needed more, MORE. The bows began to multiply on my head. One became two, two became four. The bows began a horrifying transformation… from…

The question of, “Who is your favorite superhero?” is one we pose to our friends time and time again. But what does the answer say about us as people? Is it true that, if you love Batman, you’re mysterious and born from tragedy. Or if you love Superman, you’re a traditionalist. Perhaps if you love Wolverine, you’re a rugged loner. Let’s explore this idea, shall we? My favorite superhero is Captain America. Why do I love him? And what does…

    Hello! Where did the week go? Sorry for neglecting my blog this week but I have been really busy doing fun things, which you will of course hear about in due course. One of those things was popping to the cinema to see the new Star Trek film! And here’s my review just in time for the US release! Similarly to the 2009 reboot, this follow up begins with a dramatic opening, albeit one that is more fun and less dark. It sees Kirk and Bones being chased by a tribe of angry aliens whilst Spock is lowered down into a volcano which is about to erupt. This is all jolly good fun and sets up the film…

Last Friday myself and my friend Louise took the epic journey across to Cardiff, Wales, the home of Doctor Who since it’s revival in 2005.  You may remember I visited Cardiff last year for a tour of some of the filming locations of the show.

Nothing less.  Admitting this, when I hear something that appeals to me, it transports me to a place of amalgamation. What do I mean by that?

    How did Homestuck get such a bad reputation? I actually put some research into this particular blog post, because I was curious.

Since I really didn’t understand, I thought I’d do some research to find out. After searching around on the internet for a while, as well as talking to some fellow cosplayers, the following points are what I’ve come up with. I’ll state my bias toward or against Homestuck at the end, so that it doesn’t affect what…

    It started off with eyebrows. Now hold on, don’t leave yet- I’ll explain everything. The eyebrows. I was reading this manga, see, and the main villain didn’t have any eyebrows. Well, being the intellectual person that I am, I started thinking. My conclusion: people without eyebrows are bad news. I can think of many examples (at least from Japanese anime) of the bad guys having a conspicuous lack of facial hair. Example: Gaara, from the iconic series Naruto. Hold on!! Don’t leave yet, ye throngs of angry fans! For the record, I know that he’s a good guy now.
