So... this week Apple announced the iPhone 7, and due to their "courageous" stance (barf!  seriously Phil! Barf!) they removed the headphone jack.  Not courage at all - just making one more thing obsolete, or so you hope.  Now, granted, in my day to day use of my phone I use my motorola S305 bluetooth headphones, so I personally won't be missing the jack (unless I am flying and I can't

Κάπου περίπου τέτοιον καιρό, πριν αρκετά χρόνια (20;) άρχιζα την δευτέρα λυκείου, ή 11η τάξη στην Αμερική. ένα από τα προαιρετικά μου μαθήματα ήταν ένα μάθημα που λεγόταν «Ανατομία και Φυσιολογία». Το μάθημα αυτό, απ ότι κατάλαβα

Some esoteric video game humor from this past week...

In the most recent lootcrate there was a code for World of Warcraft, for all expansions (up until the most recent Legion expansion that just hit) and a month's worth of free playtime.  With my hard drive a bit short on space I made the decision to get rid of Defiance and SWTOR and try to recoup some space for the 40Gb installation of World of Warcraft.  After a couple of days of trying to

[Spoilers] Recently I found the series of four digital  comics which wrap up the television series Revolution which I has been watching on Netflix (see related post from a week or so ago).  The second season ended in a bit of a cliffhanger, so the story was just dangling out there.  The linked video on youtube is a commentary by the writers on the first comic book.So, what happens in

What Thor was doing during the events of Captain America: Civil War.  LOL.  :-) This came by way of faceboook...
