fpt: Theft, Death, and Steve Jobs

 

[VIDEO] The interesting story of how Steve Jobs, the late legendary Apple founder and CEO, handled the leak of an prototype electronic device which ultimately became the iPhone 4. Jobs didn't have great respect for tech bloggers and I'm sure it was a bit of a humiliation for this device to get leaked.

At about the 40 minute mark you find out how serious this story became - consider this a trigger warning.

Architectural Digest: Inside a Modern Moving Home On Railroad Tracks

 

[VIDEO] This house is located in the Pacific Northwest and it's very unique. A part of this house you can actually move on railroad tracks.

Not my thing but then again I like the design of the stationary home.

Time travel hoax

 

[VIDEO] While I have been on the internet since the 2000s or a tad earlier, this is the first time hearing about John Titor.

John Titor arrived in 2000 and disappeared by 2001. He made some predictions which came true, however, he gave himself some pretty good excuses for the fact that it either came true or why they didn't.

Also the theory of time travel is interesting. We seem to get descriptions of as opposed to going backwards in our time, we the time traveler could instead be traveling to parellel universes or alternate timelines as opposed to one timeline.

This man bought a Philadelphia row house

 

[VIDEO] Well it's not an old mansion, but just as interesting. A rowhouse is a house for everybody of course everybody can't afford a house that's old. I wonder how much money this man will spend on it.

Inside a $49,500,000 NYC Gilded-Age Manhattan Mansion

 

[VIDEO] I really liked this video. As you see Erik Van Conover say basically they don't make 'em like they used to.

Basically a huge mansion or really two row houses combined into one, which was at one point used as offices for a financial company that merged into Bank of America. Treasures like this exists in many cities and this one was largely untouched.

If only I had just about $50 million and then some to make it habitable. Could anyone replicated it today?

Hopefully something like this won't be seen on McMansion Hell...

Wrestlelamia: Real Reason Why Drew McIntyre LOST Championship in 5 Mins at WWE #Wrestlemania 40

SPOILER ALERT: If you've yet to watch this match or WrestleMania 40, DON'T watch this video. Of course this video is only regarding the story around the WWE World Heavyweight Championship bout between Champion Seth Rollins & challenger Drew McIntyre. No other spoilers beyond that.


[VIDEO] WrestleMania 40 is in the books and overall a new general direction for the WWE or the World Wrestling Federation. I want to see the future rammifications of this story what's next for Seth Rollins, Drew, and ultimately Damian Priest....

Junkball on 'Star Trek Borg'

 

[VIDEO] The Junkball YouTube channel talks about all things Trek. In this most recent video is a review of the interactive 1990s game Star Trek Borg, although I wish there was an episode or a movie with this title.

This game came out in 1996 and these days there are no such thing as CD-Roms. You have to download everything and possibly have to pay a monthly fee to continue using it. The 1990s were so simple!

In 1996, there were two Star Trek series that were airing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Star Trek:Voyager. Also in the holiday season of '96 was perhaps the best installment of features that star the crew of The Next Generation Star Trek: First Contact which actually featured the Borg.

I'd have to play the game in order to really give it a review though someone who is technically gifted gave it an update. Surely it was never intended to be played on today's high definition screens. It's cool to see one familiar character in Q played by John De Lancie and in a much younger iteration than we we would see him in the 2020s during Star Trek Picard.
