Re: Phonebloks
I don't see how this could possibly be cost effective, given the technological challenges. Have a look at the circuit density of an iPhone: http://i.imgur.com/qxDURNCs.jpg http://i.imgur.com/PKOXWBks.jpg In a 'Phonebloks' phone, those integrated circuits are essentially being split off on to separat...

Re: Iain Banks diagnosed with terminal cancer (Died 6/9/13)
From his latest update it sounded like he expected to have a bit more time. Tragic news.

Message from Iain, Updates and Guestbook
He has written some truly amazing literature, Culture and otherwise.
I hope his remaining time is as happy and fulfilling as can be.

Re: Game of Thrones Season 3 (Spoilers)
Yes. "All men must die. All men must serve." It would probably be a good idea to clarify the spoiler scope for this thread. Say, unhidden text for aired episodes and spoiler tagged text for future episodes/books (clearly marked as to when it is from)? Or separate threads for readers and no...

Re: My Little Pony : Second Thread
Fun stuff: Songs. The girls trying to fulfil each other's destinies. So many songs. Rarity solo. Celestia singing/godhood. Derpy showing up. Lots of continuity. It was probably one of the better possible ways that they could have reached the 'alicorn conclusion', especially given that they only had ...

Re: My Little Pony : Second Thread
So that was an interesting episode. A few things which bothered me somewhat: The 3D Timberwolves looked rather out of place compared to the Flash animation. I don't recall them looking like that in the Zap Apple episode. The whole 'Dragon Code' thing felt contrived. Supposedly all dragons have their...

Re: My Little Pony : Second Thread
Episode three has been released early. My initial thoughts: Another enjoyable episode. An existential crisis and the casual murder of (possible) sapients, oh joy. Pinkie managed to span the whole gamut of emotional states and all the little random acts (I especially liked the backstroke through sol...

Re: My Little Pony
Greatly enjoyed the episodes. Sombra was a smoke monster and laughed lots. A bit of a downgrade from NM, Discord and Chrysalis. The mental invasions, slavery (at some point I thought he said "Crystal Slaves") and anti-teleportation cage were fairly potent. But not quite a reality bender or...

I liked both pieces, but I really hope he invests in some better virtual instruments (I downloaded 'A New Moon' and the metadata indicates he used GarageBand) and works on his mastering (the strings seemed a tad too loud compared to the piano in the Octavia piece and there was some weird phasing bet...

(Although looking at his RD one I seem to remember seeing it somewhere, possibly here, so this may not be a new find...oh well) Yeah, maybe you did. :) Regarding wallpapers, have you tried these?
