#Welcome To the Future
AMAZON PrimeAir = Thirty-Minute DRONE DELIVERIES. Future Madness++
If we didn’t perform this action already, it’s time we knelt down at the idea that we’re in a William Gibson novel and worshipped the concept. Amazon is aiming to bring thirty-minute deliveries to our impatient, consumerist asses. How are they going to pull off such a feat, you ask? Drones. Fucking drones.
Apple buys company that MADE ORIGINAL KINECT. All Minority Report Everything.
The company that made the 1984 advertisement back in the day is doubling down on creepy future-tech. That’s right, Apple has bought the folks who made Microsoft’s original Kinect. And now there ain’t nothing holding back the Steve Jobs-nanobody robopocalypse.
Sony is working on SMART WIGS. Yes. Smart Wigs.
Man! Fuck my shitty hair! And don’t just fuck it because of my receding hairline. Fuck this dome-muff because of how fucking pedestrian its capabilities are. Can’t do shit! Mannnn, I gotta get me a smart wig.
A smart wig.
RICHARD BRANSON endorses BITCOIN; VIRGIN GALACTIC will ACCEPT VIRTUAL CURRENCY
Dicky Branson! Way to go. The filthy rich son of a bitch has thrown his weight behind Bitcoin. But bro ain’t stopping there. No sir. No ma’am. Branson has gone on record stating that his space start-up company will accept virtual currency.
WINAMP SHUTTING DOWN. Darkness, Darkness!
This news is a lot like when I found out that Wizard was closing. I don’t use Winamp anymore. Haven’t for years. However, I enjoyed knowing that a vestige from my past was still out there. Keeping me feeling fuzzy.
Now? Now no more.
AMAZON IS STARTING SUNDAY DELIVERIES. Rejoice, Weep, Praise.
Man. Nothing like getting paid on a Thursday and wanting to ransack Amazon for some neat things I don’t need. Only problem? Even with my Prime account that shit isn’t coming until Monday. (Unless you want to pay for one-day but fuck you.) This won’t hold! My American upbringing demands everything right now. Good Guy Amazon? Soon they’ll have my back.
DUDE BUYS $27 in BITCOIN. It’s now worth ABOUT $1 MILLION
First world geek…geek world….geek tech…something…something problems. Actually, I don’t know. Whatever. Ain’t a problem at all. Some dill-hole who I am incredibly jealous of bought $27 worth of bitcoins back in 2009. Now that fucking digi-currency is worth more than $800,000.
FBI seizes $28.5 MILLION IN BITCOINS from SILK ROAD creator
Yeah, the FBI has taken a shit load of money from the head of some international drug market thing. I don’t know if that is ever considered “rote”, but we’ve all heard of it before. But this case is different! How so, I rhetorically ask myself? Because it involves the Dark Internet Web Place drug haven Silk Road, and bitcoins. Yeah, Future! Yeah, Futuristic Drug Busts!
COMCAST launches ‘INTERNET PLUS’ HBO GO bundle. FUTURE APPROACHES.
A few of us were bandying about on the site a couple of days ago about the possibility of HBO Go being released by the company as a stand-alone subscription service. That time still isn’t here. However, Comcast is inching towards that reality. Fighting the inevitable entropic loss to those who wish to evolve past the basic cable package with a sort-of conciliatory gesture.
NETFLIX has most likely OVERTAKEN HBO in PAID US Subscriptions
Am I speaking for everyone when I say that all I really care about regarding this news is how it may or may not force HBO to offer up a detached, HBO Go-style service for us all? No, some of you don’t give a shit? Then uh — I’m totally enjoying watching the relative New Kid put the Old Dinosaur in a head lock. This is that portion of the story that I can get behind as well.
Or something.
