Guy Makes a Comic to Try to Justify Acting Like a Jackass at the Apple Store

Jim Dougan wanted to install an Airport Card in his wife's MacBook. He realized that a normal screwdriver wouldn't open the case to allow him to do so. A Google search would have shown him that he required a Torx Wrench #8. He did not make a Google search. Instead, he made a fool out of himself in the Apple Store, yelling and screaming at the Genius Bar employees. He was clearly in the wrong, but to make himself feel better and get internet sympathy, he made a comic about his experience. More »

Latest by bilge: @skiplightly: The guy says that the has a "Titanium Macbook." If it's actually titanium (and uses the Airport card that he drew), then he has a Powerbook of which most versions had Torx screws on the bottom case. /glad I don't more »

The Joy of Tech Takes on iPhone 3G Shoppers

The Joy of Tech has taken a shot at those of us digging through the couch cushions and begging mommy and dad for the latest Apple product. Because, let's face it. It's expensive to be this geek-trendy and some of us don't have jobs. Only one thing we can't figure out... More »

Iron Man and Dark Knight Collectibles Are Super-Detailed Comic Book Hotness

Ok, so the disembodied, interchangeable heads on these super-detailed Hot Toys Iron Man and Batman collectibles are a bit weird, but that's the only downside I can see so far. They're 1/6th-scale, and were on display today at the 2008 Tokyo Toy Show. If you thought Batman sculpt looked cool, just wait until you see his whips. More »

Computer Love is a Beautiful Thing

At the risk of sounding less than 100% diesel masculine, I'll admit that I absolutely adore this comic strip on computer love. Click the link for the whole story, but I found this panel alone somewhat poignant in a it's-late-afternoon-so-I'm-searching-for-life's-meaning sort of way. [See Mike Draw via Super Punch]

Marvel's Comics On Mobile Phones = Win

Marvel Comics wants to port their comics to mobile phones. Seems like a perfect thing to read while you're supposed to be paying attention to what's going on around you, but sure how you're going to get through full page spreads while maintaining text readability on 3-inch screens. More »

Iron Man, Now Powered By LED Arc Reactor

We know way better than to actually buy this 1:6 scale Iron Man "Fine Art Statue" that is coming this September, but we can't help but ogle a bit. The model is a tiny replica of the Mark III armor according to Marvel's specifications, and it will feature an LED-powered Unibeam, along with glowing LED eyes and Repulsor Ray palms. We hope you understand what we mean when we say that this thing isn't worth $179.99, but it's totally worth $179.99. [Entertainment Earth via Nerd Approved]

Marvel Already Dates Iron Man 2

It looks like Marvel wanted to test the waters before stating the obvious, but Iron Man 2 will be hitting theaters April 30, 2010. HOW CAN WE POSSIBLY WAIT TWO YEARS, you ask? Simple. Just remember what happened to The Matrix.

For those not just interested in the tech-based superheroes, Marvel also announced dates for Thor, The Avengers and a Captain America standalone. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Iron Man's First Flight Shows Jet-Like HUD, Every Boy's Fantasy

Just like every man under the age of 30 still believes that with enough discipline, training, and working out there's the possibility that he could in fact become the Batman, every man thinks that with the right suit he could fly up and shoot rockets at tanks. More »

Batcave Home Theater is an Ideal Location to Make Out With Catwoman

Q: What could possibly be better than making out with Catwoman? A: Making out with Catwoman in a Batcave inspired home theater. Although the guys at Elite HTS may not be able to help you pinpoint Catwoman, they have done a hell of a job at recreating the Batcave for your movie viewing/making out pleasure. We don't have any details at present, hell, we don't even know if there is a screen behind that huge, make-me-moist Batman shield, but who cares? Just look at it; it's perfection itself. Jump in for another beautifully batty image. More »

Steampunk Justice League Modded Action Figures

Inspired by the comic book, Gotham by Gaslight by Mike Mignola and Brian Augustyn (Batman vs. Jack the Ripper set in the late 19th century), the modder behind these action figures sought to place the members of the Justice League in the Victorian era. I think you will agree that he did one hell of a job. Hit the gallery to check out the individual figures. [Sillof's Workshop via Boing Boing]

Post-Traumatic Apple Event Disorder

So, the Apple "Fun" Event could be considered a bust by many, so we are here to offer our support to the Post-Traumatic Apple Event Disorder sufferers out there. Seriously Apple, how "Fun" is a $350 stereo with an iPod dock and a $99 leather iPod case? We'll admit the Mac Minis were kind of cool, but still. Maybe it should have been called the Apple "Mediocre, at Best" Event. More »

Mobile Comics in Japan, Now With Vibration and Sound

I fondly recall the hours I spent in Akihabara entering the comics shops featuring all of the greatest adventures of Rocket Boy alongside thick tomes of nurse- and animatronic-hentai-tentacle- porn. Now, however, you don't have to hang out with mildly obsessive otaku-boyz to get your manga fix as distributors like Sony make more and more comic book titles available for download via cellphone.
