Culture: Note to assailants at Comic-Con: Not the place, not the time

  • Dude ALLEGEDLY stabbed another dude in the eye with a PEN! Last night’s busy festivities at the nerdy Comic-Con were disrupted after some guy got so angry at another guy that he caused a very violent scene. Both guys – the suspect and victim – were in the mid-20s, and apparently, tempers were flaring high. “You don’t think of people going off here because we’re at Comic-Con for the same reason,” said eyewitness Albert Esparza, a long-time Comic-Con attendee. “But tempers were really fired up.” source

Tech: The frickin’ iSlate (or whatever Apple calls it) is coming. Maybe.

  • The Wall Street Journal says March. Are you a nerd with a predestined affection towards devices with no buttons? Do you like breathlessly waiting for months for things, turning rumor into fact in the process? Well, good news for you. The WSJ says the machine, which may or may not get released in January, is heading into stores in March, just in time for your rent check to burn a hole in your pocket. Yay anonymously-sourced tech rumors! source

Tech: PC World: The Apple Tablet is a “mirage” that isn’t gonna happen

  • Let’s face it: The Apple tablet is a mirage created by legions of fanboys and tech dreamers. The closer you get to that mirage, the more you realize it’s not going to be there when you arrive. But then, off in the distance, an even brighter and more beautiful tablet is envisioned for a day that will never come.
  • PC World columnist Ian Paul • In an article titled “The Apple Tablet is Dead.” Paul suggests that the tablet is something of a driving factor for the fanboy audience than a real device. Though we’d like to remind Mr. Paul that a lot of people thought the same thing about the iPhone before it came out. With Apple, everything’s still on the table, even when it’s not – except for an App store that makes sense for developers. • source
