The folks at Neatorama posted about a report that the tapes of the Apollo 11 mission have gone missing. Y’know, the one with the first-ever moon walk? Yea, that one. Perhaps some NASA dude taped some episodes of Seinfeld over them. Technorati Tags: Neatorama, Apollo 11, moon walk, NASA

Y’know, I’m all for organized religion if that’s what makes you happy. But to say that a brainless movie like “Talladega Nights” is bigoted, anti-Christian, anti-white, anti-south and anti-male is just plain goofy. Yea, you read that right.

Dell’s Ultrasharp line of monitors were good competition to Apple’s gorgeous LCDs. But that was before today. Most Apple screens just became significantly more affordable, with a slight lift to their brightness ratings. The 20-incher drops $100 to $699, and now glows at 300 candle-power per meter squared (cd/m2) instead of 250cd/m2. The 23-incher, which [...]
