  1. Re:Sounds short-lived... on Wearables From IBM Japan · · Score: 1

    >I mean, especially since it runs Win98, it means you won't have enough time to install the darn thing... That's a little off the wall. With any machine, I can format and install Win98 in about 1 hour (depending naturally on how big the hard drive is and how long the format takes).

  2. Great book on All Tomorrow's Parties · · Score: 2

    The book was great, funny enough I actually submitted a review of it on Epinions a week or so ago.

    It leaves you with the normal "What the hell just happened" kind of mental state when you are done. It's a great book, and like the review said, it is very weak on plot, but is written in pretty much normal Gibson style (over-description and a lot of detail).

    The bad guy wasn't very bad. Laney kept talking about the end of the world as we know it, and when the book was over, nothing apparently was different 'cept a minor event, and Gibson leaves you confused as to what exactly happened, but I've come to accept that from him...

  3. ... on Extraterrestrial Real Estate for Sale · · Score: 1

    Didn't that happen way back when America was founded...the settlers selling people the native american's land? Kinda funny, wait till they find out there's life on one'a the planets and people go and try to build their summer homes there and the natives get a little hostile. Ray Bradbury, here we come...

    On another note, has anybody heard the commercials where you can pay to name stars? I heard about that briefly, is this something similar?
