I can't believe these videos date back to 2009, they're a great take on the absurdity of superheros.

I listened to this podcast yesterday. One of the best episodes and the reality in which George the Poet deals in should be an inspiration to everyone around him.

I still have my original GameBoy from the early 90s and while it does turn on, the screen is in need of repair to make it useable. Something like this would be great to have, hopefully it's reasonably priced.

If this is the kind of tech that will trickle down into our smartphones, then 18 months well spent, One Plus.

Not too futuristic, but futuristic enough. It's what the child of a Tesla Model S and a Porsche Taycan would look like.

Samsung slims down 8K TV's frame to a sliver

The rotating screen is very nice and makes lots of sense when you're mirroring content.
