Microsoft Announces New ‘SURFACE’ Tablet, Powered By Windows 8. IDC, Yo.
Microsoft has announced their own tablet, called Surface. It’s 10.6 inches, is going to run on Windows 8, and will probably not convince any iPad users to jump ship.
Scientists Start Growth Of Human Eye Using Stem Cells. Yeah, Science!

Monday Morning Commute: Beyond the Grave
Jambo!
After being dead for ten months, it feels amazing to walk the Earth again. To feel the carpet beneath my toes, to bear hug loved ones, to booze in the fellowship of my ka-tet. These are the moments that the universe is pushing us towards, the acknowledgment of those simple pleasures that can only be appreciated when our spirits and minds are where they’re supposed to be.
`Cause let me tell ya, there’s nothing worse than being a poltergeist. I’ve been there. Roaming about, looking for a place to say, nothing more than a broken spirit relegated to brief appearances and disruptive dispositions. I’ve been that figure that people’re surprised to see, and not always pleasantly so.
It might be a perfect way to be dead, but it’s no way to live.

Welcome to the Monday Morning Commute! I’m going to show you some of the various ways I’ll be entertainin’ myself during the week. After scoping out my wares, it’s your task to make your presence known in the rumble pit known as the comments section. What movies, comics, beverages, albums, and activities are you lookin’ forward to rockin’?
Let’s do this!
[Interview] (Also Known As) Steven Walters
A couple weeks ago I sat down with a comic called A.K.A., fully intending to just read the first issue in the collection. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and final panels of the book were quickly transforming from mysteries into memories. What was it that inspired me to keep readin’, ignorin’ the ringin’ phone and the frantic cries of the mailman outside my window to save him from the vocal veteran’s rabid mailman?
Pure comics bad-assery.
A.K.A. is a perfect throwback to those golden years when mawkish snooze fests hopin’ to snag Oscars weren’t the only films considered high-quality. No, this comic summons the spirits of the 1970s exploitation flicks that taught moviegoers the value of flawed heroes, babes with dangerous measurements, and gratuitous violence. As the (anti)hero of A.K.A., Guy Doyle navigates his way through these elements, in the process teaching the reader how to revel in the chaos of a mob war.
So won over was my heart that I decided to reach out to Steven Walters, the man responsible for penning this tasteful tale of tawdry turmoil. Walters proved to be incredibly gracious, answering each of my questions with vigor and poise. Which was reassuring, as many of his characters are less gracious and more bloodthirsty.
Hit the jump to check out what Walters’ thoughts on the comics medium, exploitation films, and the quest of artistic expression.
Rumor: Microsoft’s Monday Announcement Is A Barnes & Noble Tablet. Maybe?
Microsoft has themselves a bit announcement coming tomorrow, and at least one intrepid reporter thinks it is something in the tablet vein. Hey man, it’s all immaterial to me.
EA President Still Wants ‘DEAD SPACE’ To Scare Fans; Then Why’d You Break The Game?
Ah, EA’s chief wunder-monster is trying to rally those of us Dead Space fans who point out that open-world action shooters aren’t what we want in an installment of the franchise. Unfortunately the shithead tips his hand when he drops the ubiquitous buzzword of the generation.
Now Listening: El-P – “The Full Retard”
I’m only posting about El-P’s song “The Full Retard” to rub up on the entire album that it’s from, Cancer4Cure. Woah baby. I’ve always been a fan of El-P’s production credits on shiz for heroes of mine like Aesop Rock, but with this album he has vaulted directly into my soul. Don’t let the obvious choice for single choose you, the album has some spine to it. It’s a depressingly dystopian middle finger to the sprawling police state, drug usage, and does all this while asking asking and then answering the question, “What’s worth dying for?”
I’m in love.
Former NASA Scientist: FTL May Be Achieved Between Years 2300 and 3000. There Goes My Bucket List.
FTL travel is the holy grail of science-fiction dorks. It is what shall let us venture into the depths of space, colonizing planets and ruining shit outside of our own solar system. Unfortunately, we aren’t anywhere near achieving the son of a bitch, if it’s even possible.
Breast Milk Seems To Kill HIV; Fetishes Suddenly Justified
Breast milk. Now I’m most familiar with it through late night fetish videos and silently cursing myself and my predilections. Now however, I can know it as a possible…cure for HIV. Wut?
