“IP lawsuits are so 2004″ - Marvel and Cryptic Make Up
The quote’s from this GigaOm story on Marvel and Cryptic’s new found mutal appreciation society.

The creator of my favourite web comic EVER - Beaver and Steve - has just submitted his first Threadless submission which I imagine has something to do with this moth story arc. Anyway, vote for him, it’s all in a good cause (so I can get a Beaver and Steve Threadless tee!).

Renault Twingo Concept Car - How Many Ipod Docks Do You Really Need?
There’s like one for every passenger. Apparently, there’s also a mixer so you can be a DJ while you drive.
I just want to know what the hell is that light bulb-y looking thing next to the row of the ipod row. [Edit: I’ve since been told that it is a gear stick. Hmmm…then why […]
