Twilight Universe

It’s a sad reflection on modern sci-fi that this Got Milk? funded website about an Alien race in need of the white elixir looks better, and is more coherent than, almost all recent movies and TV shows. Oh well. Still, it is really well put together, and pretty entertaining in places.

Well, they will, and sort of do. Apple is releasing “BootCamp“, which is basically a dual-boot loader for Intel based Macs. Something that people have been crying out for for years. Wired has a nice write up about it, but the offical page tells you all you need to know. Looks like I might be able to get a Mac when I next buy hardware…

Remember kids it’s funny until it’s your religion, then it’s bigotry. Isaac needs to grow up, and smell what he’s shovelling. As Trey Parker aptly put it: “He wants a different standard for religions other than his own, and to me, that is where intolerance and bigotry begin.” What a fool.

Yes, you can now use Google Mars. Mars! Ok, so it’s not as high resolution as it could be (yet) but damn if this isn’t cool.

Only 10 hours left if you want to bid to talk to a celebrity over Skype. Pretty cool, and the line-up is varied enough to appeal to a lot of people (Melissa Etheridge is currently worth more than either Penelope Cruz or Brooke Shields, which is interesting). Out of all of them I’d have chosen Sara Gilbert though, she just seems the most interesting person out of all of them. Then again… I know none of them. An interesting way to raise money for charity though…
