I actually like "Never gonna give you up" so I don't mind being rickrolled.

iTunes (finally) introduces Complete My Album

March 30, 2007 at 04:16 PM

On the couple dozen times I've bought songs from the iTunes Music Store, the fact that I'd have to rebuy the same songs again to complete an album definitely stopped me from buying any more tracks from the same albums. Now Apple has introduced "Complete My Album," their answer to this issue. You get $0.99 off for each song off an album you've already purchasing. Brilliant move.

Culturally significant words and phrases from The Simpsons

March 20, 2007 at 02:38 PM

A fantastic look at the words and phrases from The Simpsons that have made their way into popular use.

Cromulent means valid, acceptable, or possibly commonplace, coined by David X. Cohen for the Simpsons episode "Lisa the Iconoclast"; embiggen, more obviously, means to grow in size.

When schoolteacher Edna Krabappel hears the Springfield town motto, "A noble spirit embiggens the smallest man," she comments she'd never heard of the word embiggens before moving to Springfield. Miss Hoover, another teacher, replies, "I don't know why; it's a perfectly cromulent word".

February 24, 2007 at 11:02 PM

The University of Texas at Austin does everything big, the RIAA has listed their top piracy schools and UT comes in at number nineteen. Personally, I think students just need to a better job not getting caught.

The OC is cancelled

January 04, 2007 at 06:07 PM

I haven't watched a single episode from this season. It was barely watchable last season so at least they're cutting the rope sooner rather than later. Might make the rest of the season worth watching now since it'll be coming to a decent conclusion.

December 01, 2006 at 04:49 PM

Gears of War is incredible but where are the rest of the must-have Xbox 360 games? There really aren't any and the exclusives on the horizon aren't exactly calling my name either.

Blockbuster Leaks TiVo Partnership

May 15, 2006 at 08:00 PM

Not a huge discount, in fact at my rate for TiVo ($12.99 per month) it's not really a discount at all. Still a good deal for people who don't have either service and possibly a sign of better things to come from the TiVo and Blockbuster Online partnership.

Carlos Boozer suing Prince

March 23, 2006 at 08:40 PM

Utah Jazz forward Carlos Boozer is suing Prince for violating his $70,000 per month lease by painting the exterior of the [house] with purple striping, prince symbol, and numbers 3121. So odd. Who knew Boozer was such a real estate mogul?

RosterMania has MVP '06 rosters

February 02, 2006 at 05:18 PM

If you've got an ActionReplay (contact me if you'd like to buy mine for $20) or other like device for your Xbox or Playstation 2 you can play MVP 2006 NCAA Baseball with real player names instead of just jersey numbers or random fictional names.

I've only really checked the names of the Longhorn baseball team but they look pretty accurate.

Apple ad rips off The Postal Service

January 22, 2006 at 11:01 AM

Apple makes a TV commercial directly ripping off The Postal Service's video for Such Great Heights. Immediately, Apple fans claim only truly innovative companies steal from other people. Seriously read the comments, they're defending Apple for this.

I've actually become a pretty big Apple fan over the last year or so (I'm on a 12" Powerbook right now) but Apple fans are complete morons.
