Wait a second.
Windows 7 installation went fine but it wanted you to uninstall iTunes and Google Toolbar?
Monkey Disaster but on Tumblr
Walkman outsells iPod
And not just in a strange upside down universe but in Japan too. It’s the digital Walkman, not the cassette player.
You erased Michael Anthony from history like some out-of-favor Bolshevik? Sucks.
Instead you expect people to be okay with Wolfgang “Craft Services Table” Van Halen on a ride through history? Sucks.
Though I’m no fan of Sammy, I guess that whole era didn’t really happen? Sucks.
I’ve seen better character rendering in, well, I’m thinking, something in 1993…’s butt. Sucks.
The fact that this game isn’t called Eddie’s Delusion That He Is God And Control History And People’s Minds With His Strappy Guitar? SUCKS!
This game sucks.
Ilja Laurs
Check back on that name in 10 years. He will be seen as either a brilliant visionary or something akin to the guy who predicted cities would be redesigned around the Segway.
Laurs recently predicted that apps for smart phones will, as a business, be as big or bigger than the internet in a decade. By the same token, Laurs predicts the development of new apps to level off as the leaders emerge and smaller developers can’t compete. I guess it’s kind of like when there were tons of American car companies in the twenties and barely three today.
It’s really easy to scoff at this idea of apps becoming that huge a business because apps are so new in our collective consciousness so they seem like a fad. I’ve got some thoughts on hype vs. cynicism and I’ll try to get them into a written form by later today.
David Hockney has an iPhone
And he knows how to use it. For painting.
He’s using Brushes, the same app used to create a recent New Yorker cover.
To me, this is really interesting not because of how advanced it makes the iPhone or how accepted it now is. I’m interested in this because of how refreshingly banal it really actually is as a piece of news. The iPhone and the apps attendant to it are tools, they are mechanisms for people to create things. What’s incredible about these Hockney paintings are the paintings themselves and the reflection of Hockney as an artist. What’s exciting about technology is the way it lets humans be humans in new ways.
I will not comment on the news that...
Sega is now making a robot girlfriend for lonely single men. I won’t comment on the fact that it/she/huh is 15 inches tall and has big, well, bulges. Oh never mind. Don’t click here.
My friend Martin’s video from the NBA Draft. He’s been doing these for years. This year, I was honored to get a credit. Humbled even. On the YouTube page I saw some comments that Martin was a white guy trying to sound like a black guy. Back on earth, Martin is a black guy trying to sound like a sock puppet version of Stephen A. Smith.
