Does this mean it’s not “jailbreaking” anymore? As mentioned in GMN, new government rules say that it’s legal to unlock phones like iPhones (although Apple is still within their rights to void warranties and disable unlocked phones with software updates) in order to install unapproved apps or switch data carriers.

Here he speaks out against the BP oil spill, 16 years early: Seriously, though: When two-decade-old B-movie schlock makes more sense than reality, you’ve got […]

Face Front, True Believer!
Stan Lee turns 87 today. I learned how to read on my older brother’s comic books and Peanuts collections when I was three. About a year later, I think that Stan Lee might have been the first writer who I was ever able to recognize based on his style alone. A Stan Lee sentence—throbbing with […]
