exactly sir. I have checked all those.. thrice !

I shall write a novel about this adventure.

Edited _ OOOOps.. I mean Ma'am or mam or Muh lady, whatever your fancy of formal may be.

Not a big fan of this show but I do like how well he played them. You could tell Cuban was going to go in big the whole time.

As the for the app itself, king of pointless as it only works with one phone and you're not likely to get any good pictures having to find a very flat surface from which to shoot. The underlying technology however seems pretty novel and I could see it being somewhat successful in other ways.

Overall, I think this guy got a great deal. Great start up money with enough equity to make some serious bank when his company is bought.

I just hope it remains faithful to the novel.

"The Spy Creatures were designed to infiltrate the dolphins’ hidden lives by looking like the marine creatures a dolphin might encounter in their everyday lives. The intention wasn’t to fool them, they’re far too clever for that! These novel devices tweaked the curiosity of the dolphin pods, encouraging the dolphins to let them into their lives, allowing them to capture behaviour that has never been seen before."

It's kind of cool how Wedge turned from a bit player to a central character of the extended universe novels.

Yeah he shot him, good call. Great survival instinct. Smarter hu-man than tase-boy. Tase-boy survives, does some time, maybe he'll become someone who learned a valuable lesson. You don't fuck with some folks and expect not to get fucked back.

Yeah man, I was seeing Clockwork Orange scenarios for this place as soon as I was old enough to decipher the dissemination of misinformation. It's been here in ghettos and suburbs for quite some time prior to Burgess' 62 novel and has manifest throughout history as simply variations of a running theme...

"you have to limit the number of characters.. people are posting novels, movie scripts, ascii art of genitalia and swastikas"

That, right there, is why I don't comment on youtube.

There's no community, there's no value, there's nothing to be gained from reading them or posting on them. It's just too many people.

Even if 10% of the comments are insightful, thought-provoking or funny, it's just not worth it.

Youtube, as far as I'm concerned, is a hosting service. That's it.

This makes me so sad. Before 2000 or so, he was just an amazing sci-fi writer. Then he just totally snapped.

I'll give him this, though: he was getting a lot of flack for toning down his rhetoric before the movie, to avoid hurting ticket sales. Apparently he didn't like getting thought of that way. Back with a vengeance!

Tragic. Ender's Game is one of the best novels of the last 50 years. And now I don't even want to see the movie. Not "going to boycott to make a point," the man genuinely kills my interest in work he's attached to.

Almost anything would have been better. To my mind, the single biggest flaw with the prequels was that the originals focused on a small set of largely likeable characters who were generally together having adventures in space. The Prequels were just all over the place and there weren't really any likeable characters, and... and... for the sake of brevity, let's just say they suck in every way.

Also, for the love of god, George Lucas should not have been allowed to direct. He is a terrible, terrible, terrible director. Everyone knows that. Everyone has known that since the first one, and George should have known that too. He isn't a great artist in any sense of the word. I'd say the prequels are a textbook example of why the role of director is so important. How can such an accomplished cast deliver a performance barely better than what you'd expect from, say, "Sharktopus."

I think the next three will be decent. They don't have to be great (and really, the original three weren't *great* per se, they were just novel fun, imaginative, and hit a sweet spot. I think JJ Abrams will do fine.

Anyways, this guys plot would have worked. So would have a lot of others though.

You'd be surprised to discover how many thousands of so-called intelligent peeps be unable to execute the simplest of opposable digit tasks. My ex-father-in-law, a published, successful pulmonary physiologist at a world-renown hospital couldn't wield a shovel to save his life. I often refer to this line from a Heinlein novel as a road map to what is is to be an actual, human being:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects." — Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love

If you live on planet now, are located in a first-worldlier country with a reasonable amount of "education" , are over 30 years of age and are not approaching the level-up to polymath or renaissance person, yer a fuckin' lazystupid

And disagreement is cool with me, I often disagree with people who like musicals but I can do so without being a jerk about it, I'm just not into them. An active imagination is often considered a sign of intelligence and higher thinking. I'm pretty sure creative minds like Neil Gaiman, Stephen King, Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov, just to name a few, are not lacking in the intelligence or comprehension departments. Gene Roddenberry could be responsible for god knows how many people going into the sciences, inspired to make the future, he imagined a reality.
Lincoln was great movie and I'd be all for seeing a movie based on the 47 Ronin that was more historically accurate, but that doesn't mean I can't also enjoy movies like Pacific Rim. As for 300, the movie was actually based on Frank Miller's graphic novel, which I doubt was ever intended to be a factual account of the event anyhow. Movies like this one are, for better or worse a product of market forces and the society we live in.

Writing a novel on a Macbook at a coffee haus sipping a chai mocha?? Duuuuude, that has hipster written all over it!.....A hipster in geek's clothing who eats his sushi like someone form a trailer park in Alabama!!

The novel use of technology is forbidden in pretentious hipsterland, Fair Trades' across the street near the Laser Armpit Hair Replacement Clinic.

You are quite welcome to take whatever you want super seriously, but don't impose that seriousness on anyone else.

There's a difference between wanting to do thing right and wanting other people to do things right.

What this video suggests and what the responses to me also suggest, is "this is the correct way and no one should eat it differently or they're idiots!" instead of "this way makes it a whole lot better and is what the chefs and locals recommend". There's a slight difference between the two - one is a helpful suggestion guiding you to a better experience, the other is being a dick.

There's also a subtle difference in people wanting to do thing right for themselves, and people who want to have other people know that they know the correct way of doing it. This is what I so subtly referred to as hipster earlier - they don't do it because it's necessarily better, but because sushi is so vogue right now, and all those other slobs just eat it in the most hilarious manner; just look at those wage collectors - now let me get back to my chai mocca, lined with the finest honey, the container of which I happen to have standing on my desk at the coffee place where I'm writing my novel on a 2007 Macbook..

It's not just him, it's the whole presentation. They've created a nice but fairly ordinary dress out of novel materials with a borderline cutting edge technology, but the speech and the soundtrack are suited for a company announcing that they've discovered extraterrestrial life (and they'll be available for purchase immediately).
