Mount it on one of those lotus-elise-looking cars that can convert from ground to underwater.  It'd be cool to beach view something as it decends into the water then see underwater. A shark attack in 360 views would be exciting.

Investigation Shows What We Already Know: Best Buy's "Optimization" is a Scam

I remember when I was moving over to the Firedog support team at Circuit City a few years back (CC's Geek Squad) the techs to the same thing, sounds like even less.  They deleted the icons (sometimes didn't even empty the trash) and installed updates.  They never made any changes to preferences or user interfaces.  It was all a huge ripoff just to make the desktop look pretty.

3D wasn't continuous throughout the whole movie, maybe the 150GB was the 3D portions of the movie and they are only speaking of that.  In some crazy insane world, like ours.  If not, then yeah, that's a little on the low-end for size.

College Professor Equates "Nerd" and "Geek" to Racial Epithets

Posted 12/22/2009 at 09:42:43am

My girlfriend and friends call me a geek and nerd all the time, then call me a retard in the same sentence.  But they all look up to me because I have this mysterious ability to make things work properly.  I'm happy to have people call me the G word or the N word (nerd) because then everybody knows I'm the guy who has the cool home theatre/computer/electronic gadgets setup in a way that just makes everything mesh fantastically to provide a truer experience of technology use.  However, in high school I was a 3-sport jock who loved computers, so what am I to do?

 

Ahhh, Betty Childs, we love you when you're mad.
