[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.
[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.
[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.
[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.
[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...
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....
[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.
[VIDEO] For some reason I have been looking at videos of people who work on their own buses. Perhaps they own a former Greyhound bus or they own an old transit bus.
However, I like this idea of this GMC New Look short bus. These buses are the ones I grew up with in Chicago and then suddenly they were no longer in service. Of course the bus you see here is a shorter length from what I recall in service on CTA.
Perhaps a short bus like this is an easier drive that a regular length bus. Also I wouldn't mind owning a piece of nostalgia and wouldn't mind taking it on the road. Of course I'd have to do a conversion and treat it as a home away from home.
If I could afford this particular bus when it goes on sale, I'd go for it. Of course if I did, perhaps it's important to think about a budget for customization and maintenance.
Last nite was the Royal Rumble where - OK no spoilers - there were a few surprised some we knew were probably on their way back. The end results were not that surprising in both the women's & men's rumble.
I wanted to share with you the first WWF Tough Enough winner...oh sorry I still haven't gotten used to saying WWE....anyway the first Tough Enough Winner is Maven Huffman. He's got a YouTube channel where he talks a lot about his wrestling career. The five or so years he was in WWE and then he got released.
Anyway in his most recent video - and sorry to not have shared this sooner - he discusses the booking for the Royal Rumble. He discusses the mechanics of such a match where 30 wrestlers are participating.
How does one know when they're being eliminated? He answers that question and more [VIDEO]
