    I think I'm the odd one out.

    I hate the idea of Live-action shows on Cartoon Network.

    [adult swim] doesn't count.

    Cartoon Network is called CN because it shows cartoons.

    Not live-action stuff.

    I don't ever remember live-action stuff when I was growing up.

    I am loving the idea of this show. Lots of kids will take an interest in science and engineering from this, without even knowing it and how can you lose when you get to blow stuff up?


    Win/Win.

    They're myths in so far as many people believe these things can really happen.

    @Elliuotatar: Do they really? So are they going to start busting Rambo-style car explosions? Because though it happened in the movie, do people really believe that if a car hits a tree at 5 mph it will explode in a HUGE ball of fire? I might agree with you, but they blow EVERYTHING up on that show.

    Can he really still claim to be a geek. He's a popular brand-named television star who dates d-list celebrities and hobnobs with celebrity types.


    What part of that is his claim to geek-dom? His fat? His insecurity? Lots of regular people are fat and insecure.


    Face facts geeks, he's not one of you anymore.

    @Pope John Peeps II: Blasphemy! From the Pope no less!


    OK, let's assume geek acts do not entitle you to permanent geekdom. Each geek act has a certain value. For example, coding one thousand lines of C++ allows you to call yourself a geek for a month. Perhaps installing a Linux distro allows you to call yourself a geek for one day.


    Using this scale we can estimate bigger geek acts:


    Pre-Apple Mainframe Experience: 3.3 Years of Geekdom
    Founding Apple Computer: 10.2 Years of Geekdom
    Designing the Apple I: 27.9 Years of Geekdom
    Apple Language Interpreter: 4.1 Years of Geekdom
    Designing the Apple II: 48.5 Years of Geekdom
    New Floppy Disk Controller: 4.4 Years of Geekdom
    BS in EECS: 4.3 Years of Geekdom
    Brought First Universal TV Remote to Market: 2.2 Years of Geekdom
    Various Technology Ventures: 3.8 Years of Geekdom
    Various Awards and Honorary Degrees: 2.6 Years of Geekdom
    Segway Polo Team: 0.4 Years of Geekdom
    -----------------------------------------
    Total: 111.7 Years of Geekdom


    It's a fallacious to assume that Woz starts spending his geek cred at birth, but for the sake of brevity I'm going to do that anyway.


    Woz was born on 08/11/1950, which means his geek cred will run out on 04/07/2062.


    I suggest waiting 53 more years. If Woz is still around then you may have a point.

    In reply to iTunes Now Offers Genius Recommendations For Movies and TV Shows
    Yes. If this is as awesome as Genius for music or Netflix recommendations or Amazon recommendations, I will discover that my enjoyment of Doctor Who may mean I might enjoy other episodes of Doctor Who or other television shows featuring Jon Pertwee or Christopher Eccleston.


    Also, my enjoyment of certain documentaries means that I may like other documentaries!

    I've been unimpressed by Genius so far.


    Pandora uses that "music DNA" that actually gets you songs that are similar to the song you're listening to.


    Genius just uses stuff other people bought so you either end up (like in this example) with the other songs on the album or by the artist or if the song is 'popular' you just get a stream of other popular crap.


    I think I've used it a total of three times. I got one maybe two songs through the recommendations. I mostly still end up listing to pandora and just getting stuff from there.

    @tande04: I agree - I turned off the Genius database (and deleted it) because it only ever had recommendations on my most popular music options and what I truly wanted was requests based on the lesser-known titles. That and the database for it was going to require a secondary hard drive of it's own. Whatever "genius" came up with this concept probably needs to go back to school.


    Using an online tool to search for suggestions makes more sense since the ridiculous large database would be central rather than having miniature versions on every desktop in America.

    Here's the problem with Fox: If it's good it will be cancelled in less than 3 seasons (Arrested Development, Futurama. Firefly, even Family Guy was cancelled until Cartoon Network convinced them to bring them back) If it's bad or Simpsons rest assured it will be on for awhile...

    Seriously, what's up with all the naked Eliza Dushku? Does she have to get naked to be programmed? Is she a nudist in an episode? From the shot with the polaroids, it looks like a homepage... Do people just really need to be coerced into watching this show in hopes of some nekkidity? I'm confused... Still looks like it could be a cool show, though.
