What if Google threw a party and all the internets were invited? OK, this isn’t exactly new, but I found another great video today from Those Aren’t Muskets! and it reminded me that I meant to post this a couple weeks ago.  I can’t believe nobody has picked these guys up for a TV series yet.  You’d think Lorne Michaels would be all over them.

Breast Cancer 'Master Gene' Breakthrough →

I don’t often post legitimate medical breakthroughs, but this is big enough to warrant a mention.  Scientists at several hospitals have been working together to pinpoint the gene that causes breast cancer, and it looks like they’ve found the culprit.  They have been able (in the lab, at least) to not only halt the spread of the cancer, but also to turn cancerous cells into normal,...

This is an old story, which I’d read before. It showed up on Digg again today and re-reading it makes me as furious as ever. I doubt any of you are actually for the war on liberty drugs, but even those who don’t support legalization must see that the system is completely broken.

Most of you are already aware of the weekly bucketful of funny that is Zero Punctuation. For those that aren’t, here’s this weeks review of Devil May Cry 4. Even if you’re not a gamer, I strongly recommend you go back and watch the old episodes too. They are damn amusing.

Do Networks Ignore Sci Fi Fans? →

Screenrant.com attempts to explain why seemingly beloved SciFi shows receive poor ratings and often end up prematurely canceled.  His attempt to fix the indisputably broken Nielsen rating system is admirable, but probably insufficient.  As more people  watch TV through “smart” set top boxes, you have to wonder when the networks will get their heads out of their asses and simply monitor...

The first full preview of Street Fighter IV Here comes the new game, same as the old game.  Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.
