But, if you really understood the nature of our unbreakable fealty to the “Steve Jobs/Apple distortion field,” you’d know very well that we can’t leave. Not even if we wanted to. Which, of course, we don’t. Never. Ever. I mean, why would we? This is The One True Family In The One Who Is Called Steve®.

I went back for a second helping of Avatar this Sunday. There’s a scene early on in the movie where one of the scientists walks across the lab carrying the “mobile computer slab of the future.” We’ve seen one of these in almost every sci-fi movie of the last 50 years. It comes free with a jetpack, I suppose. Except this time, one month later, my 12 year old son turns to me and whispers “Look Dad, it’s an iPad.”

You can get around this with some trickery, it turns out, by downloading your JavaScript, not as actual script, but as something else. The Gmail team wrapped their scripts in comments. I’m trying to simply download my scripts as strings.
#8. Contrary to popular belief, Disneyland has a full liquor license which is used when the place closes down to the general public to accommodate private parties. But there is one place in Disneyland that is always open to sell booze: Club 33. Club 33 is a private club located in the heart of the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland. Officially maintained as a secret feature of the theme park, the entrance of the club is located next to the Blue Bayou Restaurant at “33 Royal Street” with the entrance recognizable by an ornate address plate with the number 33 engraved on it. Fees for joining range from 10 – 30 thousand US dollars and membership comes with a car park. If you want to join the club, you have to go to the end of the fourteen year waiting list.
Of the ten, I’d pick Club 33.

Damian of OK Go on their record label’s stupid insistence on prohibiting embedded playback of their new video.
Regardless of the fact that this is a ridiculous move by EMI, this video is fucking awesome.
