Space Firm To Make Big Announcement. Somewhere in his lair, Michael Bay just coughed up blood and doesn’t know why.
The interwebs are all a-twitter (no pun intended… except it was totally intended) with excitement and speculation after a new company called Planetary Resources dropped a press release about an upcoming space venture that will ensure humanity’s continuing prosperity. They’re backed by a whole mess of people with deep pockets — Google and James Cameron, to name a few — and are going to lay down their proposal on April 24th.
Now, the press release itself is incredibly vague, and I’m guessing that was deliberate, but what can you expect from people who worked for the organization that told us Pluto was a planet and then went “Our bad. Might want to start thinking about some new mnemonic devices.”

‘AVENGERS’ POSTERS By Olly Moss and Tom Whalen for Mondo Are Tasty
Avengers. Olly Moss. A match made in the steamy depths of my fanboy underoos. Tom Whalen? Also awesome. I like to imagine a world where these sort of posters were actually the official ones, and thereby I could buy them for $5 at a shitty Hot Topic or something. Such is not the world we live in.

The Avengers DVD is going to come with “at least” 30 minutes of deleted scenes, and the rate they’re going these might be the only scenes we haven’t seen prior to the movie being released. Like, come on Marvel. We’re all both jacked, and pumped about this flick. You don’t need to show full areola.
GOOGLE’S GLASSES Patents Hint At HELMETS To Match. Clunky ++
…How long will we augment reality before we just call it reality? Eh, just something that fall out of my ass right now. More relevant to this whole news post thing is me telling you that a patent Google registered totally points towards a helmet to compliment their AR glasses. This doesn’t make sense.

Iran’s “HALAL INTERNET” Becoming A More-Ambitious Part Of Current Censorship Regime.
I’ve been spitting articles at you lately concerning Iran and its desire to create its own intranet cut off from us diabolical Western bastards with our (illusions) of democracy and Coca Cola. Turns out, Iran ain’t going to be pulling that off any time soon. Instead they’re just doubling over on their current censorship.
