The Oncoming Storm stuff comes from the Doctor Who Expanded Universe. Stuff like comic books and radio shows that were outside of, but based on, the TV continuity.
I'm not being flip here, but it essentially reminds me of a Leprechaun.
"In Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist mythology, the yaká£a has a dual personality. On the one hand, a yaká£a may be an inoffensive nature-fairy, associated with woods and mountains; but there is also a darker version of the yaká£a, which is a kind of ghost (bhuta) that haunts the wilderness and waylays and devours travelers, similar to the raká£asas."
According to the temple, Steve Jobs hasn't gotten angry yet, so he's still in the "inoffensive nature-fairy" phase and not the "haunting the wilderness and waylaying and devouring travelers phase."
Where do people get this idea that Mr. Market is a rational man, doling out "discipline" to those who "deserve" it. Mr. Market is a homicidal maniac who eats his young, s about as rational as Jeffrey Dahmer.
This reminds me of when they banned K.C. Munchkin back in the day... they did it because he was so much cooler than Pac-Man.... especially Atari 2600 Pac-Man, which made little children cry.
Mickey created just the one "broom golem." But then he found there was no way to stop it. So, he tried chopping it up. Then the pieces of the the broom turned into an army of "Broom Golems" that he still couldn't control.
It was all quite horrifying really... not something you'd want to replicate in real life...
Well, I mean I would, but that's because I'm quite mad, you see... hahaha... hehe... HAHAHAHA...
"Not some mystery benefactor, singular. That would raise too many questions. However... stay with me here... Zombies. I got a guy who knows this guy who knows this Rain Man-type. He lives with his mother in her basement in Belarus. So good luck extraditing his fat Russian ass. Wait. He's a hacker-cracker extraordinaire. This guy can hijack random desktops all around the world, turn 'em into zombies that do his bidding. For instance, he can make it so, 20 or 30,000 little donations come in from all over the U.S. and Canada. 10, 20, 50 bucks a pop, all paid in-full, nice and neat, untraceable, from the good-hearted people of the world to Mr. Walter H. White, Cancer Saint." -- Saul Goodman, Breaking Bad, Phoenix.

By the way, for obvious reasons, I really, really like this religion.
If only I could believe in things other than boring old science, I'd be signing up!
No, this particular temple has him reborn as a Yaksha:
Yaksha (Sanskrit: ààà¥à yaká£a)[1] is the name of a broad class of nature-spirits, usually benevolent, who are caretakers of the natural treasures hidden in the earth and tree roots.

However, if he gets angry... watch out!
It reminds me of this: Boss suggests working overtime.

Ok, who wouldn't want to tell people that they worked on "The Medusoid Project?"
Bill Cosby and a child discuss Pokemon.

"At some point, we won't even share a culture with people like the Romneys and the Kochs. I'm not sure we'll even share a species."
H. G. wells would have put them among the ancestors of the Eloi, and the rest of us among the ancestors of the Morlocks...
A bright future for their offspring, then....
I use Facebook almost identically to the way I used to use Geocities, and the wheel turns...
You know, instead of outsourcing the "monkey work, " they should bring in actual monkeys to do it.
They could pay them in bananas!
Unless, of course its not actually "monkey work" and rather something that would be better done by hiring competent software professionals.

Mr. Freeze's Puns
Poochie Rap
Hmm... when he said that was he imitating Arnold Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze from that wonderful Batman and Robin film?

Because if this movie is half as good as that one... I expect we'll be talking about it for years....
Mike Daisey comments on "This American Life" controversy.
In other news, Political Cartoons should not also be taken as literal fact.
Especially if they have talking ducks in them.
An Xbox 360 with Kinect built in?
Truthfully, Microsoft quietly released their new console, the Kinect, when nobody was looking.
It got my sister to buy an Xbox... my sister.
She wasn't even interested in the Wii!
Use that money to pay your employees.
