Electronic gadget aficionados are the easiest of all consumers to please. All we want is unlimited capabilities in programs that aren't bloated.

Sam Ash just sent an email to me featuring a "Fender 2016 Limited Edition American Standard Telecaster" that provides "an aesthetic that's reminiscent of those 'custom color' Fenders of yesteryear". I'm not a guitar player, yet even I know the stellar reputation of Fender Telecasters. But that color is positively nauseating. Let me guess the "choose color" option at checkout: "Gawdawful Pale Pastel". Or maybe "Regurgitated Teal". Or perhaps just "That Super Yucky Color in the Ad."
Just looking at that color makes me want to take something to settle my stomach. That's the absolute worst choice for color on a musical instrument since Fire Engine Red for keyboards. Last edited by WT Sharpe; 05-10-2016 at 11:09 AM. |

That is what we Brits would call "naff".

Dictionary.com defines it as "unstylish; lacking taste; inferior."
The Urban dictionary defines it as "British slang, describes something as stupid, lame or unpalatable". 'Nuff said? |

There's a meme making the rounds of the Internet that a time traveler was present at a Mike Tyson boxing match, and that this photo of a cell phone at ringside proves it.
Plainly, that's no cell-phone, but ironically that picture does validate the claim that there was a time traveler at the match. Spoiler:

I just got a email from Netflix letting me know that Do-Over is now available for streaming.
Yeah, that's what the world needs. Adam Sandler with a gun. |

What I expect from Star Trek Beyond:
- A bunch of action scenes ripped from Star Wars - A bunch of "dramatic scenes" badly ripped from Wrath of Kahn - A shallow story that exists only to connect one action piece to another, lacking any of the symbolism or exploration of the human condition that made Star Trek such an enduring franchise.

Anton Yelchin, the new Chekov in the Star Trek reboot series is dead. Apparently he had an accident with his car. Poor guy was only 27 yrs old.

Yikes! That is terrible.
Apparently the vehicle that did it had been recalled for a defect in the gear shaft: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/21/bu...-recalled.html |
