This must be an iPhone World Record. December 30, 2011
Posted by very in : Apple, Comedy, Futurama, iPhone, Tech , add a commentI just found my “missing” iPhone today. Apparently has been on standby at least for 4381 days and 21 hours. It means that this iPhone actually travelled to the past and had been on standby ever since. This reminds me of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Time’s Arrow” and Futurama episode “Roswell That Ends Well“.

Star Trek on Netflix, beam me and sign me up! July 3, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Entertainment, Media, Movies, News, Resources, Tech, TV , add a commentStar Trek is now on Netflix according to TekGoblin and others. I also heard the news on Tech News Today this past Friday July 1st, 2011 if memories served correctly.
Let’s recap:
- I watched Star Trek The Original Series on re-run in the 80′s.
- I followed Star Trek: The Next Generation since its premiere till “All Good Things…”
- I watched a few first episodes of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.
- I kinda watched Star Trek: Voyager and kinda bored with it.
- I watched Enterprise for one and a half season, then for some reason kept missing it.
I have watched all Star Trek Movies and looking forward to the next one despite major plot loopholes in Star Trek (2009).
Time to get on Netflix.
p.s. I did get to meet Jolene Blalock on an MTV event when Enterprise wa still on production.

“Up” This Week and “Star Trek” Next Week. November 12, 2009
Posted by very in : Announcement, Entertainment, iTunes, Media, Movies, News, Resources, Tech, TV , add a commentFirst I have to mention that I did not see both “Up” and “Star Trek” in the theater. I picked up “Up” Blu-ray+DVD on Tuesday even though I don’t have a Blu-ray player. Well, for $19.99 I got “Up” Blu-ray and DVD in one package. Pixar knows story-telling and I am a huge fan of theirs. Watching this movie gave me some *sniff-sniff* moments.
Next week “Star Trek” is coming out on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. Yes I am talking about the new “Star Trek” that was released earlier this Summer 2009. Yes I am also a huge Star Trek fan. I am referring to the franchise, of course. If only Paramount Studio would sell the Blu-ray and DVD in one package, I’d be getting the Blu-ray too.

Faster Than The Speed Of Light. June 30, 2009
Posted by very in : Announcement , add a commentSomething that is faster than the speed of light? That’s a bull-pie! Nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. That’s why scientists increased the speed of light in 2208.
It might be some wacky comedy from Futurama, but a scientist has created radio waves that travels faster than the speed of light. John Singleton the scientist (not the movie director) has achieved that.
Something that is faster than the speed of light. I want my Sub-Space Communication along with Warp Drive, Transporter and Replicator. Wait a minute, that’s from Star Trek.
Anyway, Albert Einstein would be so proud.
