Cartoonist Art Spiegelman on the history of...
Yes, that Art Spiegelman, the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel, Maus, was once an artist that drew Garbage Pail Kids cards for Topps. In an interview with Slate, Spiegelman talks about how GPK went from a one-off Wacky Packages parody (above) to years of gross and hilarious stickers.[[MORE]]
I recall sitting in a meeting one day with Len Brown, Topps’ creative director, and...

It's easy to get old credit card info from an Xbox...
Like many devices these days, the Xbox 360 requires a credit card for some services, and when you get rid of the device, you should always wipe and reset the device to get rid of any lingering credit card information. Only with the 360, even if you reset the console before you sell it, that credit card information is still there and is apparently all too easy to retrieve if one knows...

stringsandchains asked: I've seen this Facebook post where president Obama is holding Fareed Zakaria's book "The Post-American World." I've seen it maybe a dozen times, and the hillbillies seem to be outraged. Is this a real thing? I mean are people really upset by this or is it some kind of troll conspiracy?

'Lamborghini Batman', pulled over earlier this...
Earlier this week, a man was pulled over in Montgomery County, Maryland for not having plates on his Lamborghini, and the car was driven by none other than Batman himself. Batman doesn’t need no fucking plates on his car. And now we know who Lamborghini Batman is and why he was driving around costumed.[[MORE]]

The open source tricorder project almost has a...
One of the essential tools in almost any Star Trek adventure was the tricorder. The most basic description is that the Tricorder is a self-contained portable sensor. It has GPS, and it can measure ambient temperature, humidity, air pressure, magnetic fields, surface temperatures, colors, ambient light level, ambient polarization, acceleration, direction and distance (ultrasonically).[[MORE]]

In a cost-saving measure, Canada will phase out...
Both in the US and Canada, the copper-coated penny is a coin that costs more to produce than it’s worth. There have been a small movement in America to ditch the penny for this reason, but in Canada, they’re actually doing it. Later this year, the Canadian mint will stop making the penny altogether, phasing out the one cent.[[MORE]]
“The penny is a currency without any currency in...

Microsoft Word bug leaves Macs open to getting...
While the lion’s share of malware, viruses and trojans are still aimed at Windows operating systems, with more people using Mac and iOS devices, the more that hackers will find it worth their time to target Mac users. One new trojan uses a flaw in Microsoft Word to gain access to Mac OS X’s ready and waiting back door.[[MORE]]

Man doing well after receiving the world's most...
Over the past couple years, there have been several amazing full or partial facial transplant surgeries in the news. This surgical technology is still new and still continues to produce medical miracles for people who probably thought they’d have to live the rest of their lives in isolation due to extreme facial loss and disfigurement.

New Sim City will require an internet connection,...
So far, EA’s Origin platform has gotten mixed reviews, and if you’re both looking forward to the new Sim City game in 2013 and you’d rather not get it through Origin, you’ll have that option. The bad news-ish is that even if you didn’t get the game through Origin, you’ll need to be online and logged in to EA’s service to play.[[MORE]]

Friends don't let friends code in plain HTML, even...
Coming out of the closet is an exciting, nerve-wracking experience for many. It means hopefully finally being comfortable and honest around friends and family and it can mean finally being comfortable with one’s self. But for this guy, coming out on Facebook not only meant congratulations, but an opportunity for his geeky friends to rag on him about his shitty website.[[MORE]]

Years ago, Danny DeVito joked that he wanted to do a sequel to the movie ‘Twins’, called ‘Triplets’, that would have Eddie Murphy as the third brother. And now, it looks like that movie will become a reality. Does Arnold still have his comedic chops? Can Eddie Murphy stop sucking for once in decades?[[MORE]]

IHC Game Reviews: Rayman Origins
TL;DR version: read the words in bold.
So there’s this whole “games as art” thing. It gets bandied around a lot these days; the main argument seems to be whether a videogame can evoke an emotional response in the same way a painting or a piece of music can.[[MORE]]
The concept is hard for some people to take, because games require a relationship with the player that is unique...
