#humor Even though we're going to be whoa'd and inspired by the future that Google Glass and the Apple iWatch will bring, let's not kid ourselves. The most realistic future is going to be the silly arguments we all get into about Google Glass and the Apple iWatch... which will only get more ridiculous after Apple releases its own glasses and Google makes a watch. It's the next level of Android vs iPhone. The future is going to suck. At least we have Joy of Tech's amusing comic to laugh at before it happens. [Joy of Tech] More » Read similar

Why the Hell Does Hulu Show Spoiler Commercials for the TV Show You're Watching?
#rant Hulu, for all its good intentions and fairly solid stream quality, kind of sucks. It doesn't have enough TV shows, it doesn't have enough episodes, you still have to watch commercials even when you pay for Hulu Plus but worst of all, sometimes those commercials you're forced to sit through are about future episodes of the freaking TV show you're watching. Basically, if you watch Hulu, it's like being chained down to a chair for Spoiler Russian Roulette. More » Read similar

Las Vegas Is One Bright Hole Straight to Hell
#imagecache Paris may be the City of Light, but the City of Sin is looking to give it a run for its money. This pair of shots was tumblr'd (tumbled?) and tweeted by Colonel Chris Hadfield, who's currently up on the ISS. At night, the city looks like some pool of molten metal, scalding the desert's surface, burning a hole straight to hell. And maybe that's not too far from the truth. [Col.
