  • What Character is Stephanie Szostak Playing in Iron Man 3?
    Stephanie Szostak’s role in ‘Iron Man 3’ has been attached to rumors of Wasp and Ant-Man, but an official namedrop highlights potential connections to Man-Thing and Doctor Strange.

    See, I thought there were more Marvel characters being woven in to the fabric of the Marvel cinematic universe in Iron Man 3 after all. I suspect we will see Man-Thing in the SHIELD television show?

  • Oh Look, Rep. Mike Rogers Wife Stands To Benefit Greatly From CISPA Passing... | Techdirt
    It would appear that Rep. Mike Rogers, the main person in Congress pushing for CISPA, has kept rather quiet about a very direct conflict of interest that calls into serious question the entire bill. It would appear that Rogers’ wife stands to…

    Why am I not surprised?

  • Reddit AMAs for good and for awesome

    I love Reddit. And I love AMAs on Reddit. But I think the best AMAs are ones that actually offer something productive, such as this AMA about fitness with the Governator himself. More of these, please!

  • SimInstallation

    Apparently this hot new computer game my wife just purchased for me was incorrectly titled. Instead of calling it “SimCity”, it should have been called “SimInstallation”. I put the disc in my computer about a half an hour ago and it made me sign up for this thing called “Origin” and then agree to a hundred different disclaimers and prompts and sign over my firstborn and then install itself and then perform update after update… so much fun! Hot installation and setting up action! It feels so real - I hope this game never ends!

  • Video Pirates Offer Pay TV Shows Within Three Hours: Analyst

    (via Deadline.com) So if it takes pirates 3 hours to get a TV show out to the web, then maybe, just maybe, the majors should think about ways to get their content out before that 3 hours is up. And I’m not talking On Demand through your cable or sat provider, I’m talking through Google Play, Amazon, iTunes, and other streaming media providers. Seriously, it’s 2013. If I want to watch a TV show after it has first aired, even after the show has just started, you know, like 5 minutes ago (even sports please!), I should be able to pay a reasonable price to get it on the device I want where I want. I mean, what am I, some kind of crazy future person who has wild ideas about how I should consume content, you know, as a consumer? Beat the pirates at their own game by providing a better experience with instant provisioning. Make money, y’know. Just a thought.
