Breakfast Links: Megatron, Sex Gun & Fruit Opinions
Aaaight. It wasn’t enough that one person legally changed their name to Megatron. It is almost too much to bear knowing that there are two Megatrons in the world. Although I admit that it does help to know that one of them is a drug dealer in New Zealand. You gotta admit there’s a certain poetry in a guy named Megatron getting caught trying to import drugs into the country. Right? Like if the country was the Earth and the drugs were Energon Cubes? See? Poetry worthy of Coleridge himself.
There would also be poetry if Megatron turned into this gun (y’know before the movie, when he was a gun) that dispensed a single condom. Right? Imagine the fun possibilities of whipping this out instead of finding that year old crinkly bag stuffed into the bottom of your wallet. Gross. This is part of a greater collection, the Honey Trap, which is sadly all less good than this particular item.
And if you’ll try and recall all the way back to yesterday, you’ll remember that I posted about XKCD’s Fruit Opinions. This has caused no shortage of controversy around the matrix, fortunately the matrix has spoken back with a most democratic solution. A fancy voting graph where you can take part in the end all, be all of crowd’s wisdom fruit tasty/untasty easy/dfficult decision. It seems that the world has much kinder view on the tastiness of fruits, although I think there’s a clear bias. Why do oranges feature high on the easiness scale, where grapefruits and lemons are so low?? It’s a fruit bias! Go forth and vote.
BONUS LINK: Apple’s gone and refreshed their MacBook and MacBook Pro lines. Typical speed bump, but nice with the new Penryn chips - hopefully less power hungry. Multi-touch trackpad on the MBP’s, which is cool I guess. LED backlighting is nice - and that high res display on the 17″? Damn. That’s cool. Not groundbreaking, but a welcome if disappointing refresh.
