Simpsorama
SIMPSORAMA
A SHOW OUT OF IDEAS TEAMS UP WITH A SHOW OUT OF EPISODES
So true!
“Simpsorama” turned out to be the first new The Simpsons episode the I watched for at least the last 12 years. I want new Futurama episodes; damn you Fox, Comedy Central and all the humans! Umm, please ignore that last part.
This crossover within Matt Groening’s universe is a lot more The Simpsons than Futurama. It is nice to see the Planet Express gang, but it left me wanting more after blurting “That’s all they can come up with?”
Now, can we get new Futurama episodes that would definitely be written better than “Simpsorama”?

Behind the Bezel
I can’t wait to see someone perform a tear-down on LG G Watch R. I have a pretty good idea on how LG can do what Motorola can’t; making a fully-circular LCD display.
I am sure that the display driver connector is well hidden beneath the bezel.
Amazon Echo
What is Amazon Echo?
Amazon Echo is designed around your voice. It’s always on—just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Echo begins working as soon as it hears you say the wake word, “Alexa.” It’s also an expertly-tuned speaker that can fill any room with immersive sound.
Amazon Echo is an interesting product, especially when priced at $99 for Amazon Prime members; it is priced at $199 for non members. Currently Amazon Echo can only be purchased by invitation.
Should I get the invitation to buy Amazon Echo, I’d certainly buy one. I already have a few questions:
- Which room would I put this Amazon Echo?
There are certain room I would not put this thing in.
Well, probably the living room. - How long will I use Amazon Echo?
- What would I really use it for?
Let’s see where Amazon will take Echo.
Pixelmator 3.3
Pixelmator 3.3 is released.
- Redesigned Interface: A new look and feel inspired by OS X Yosemite.
- OS X Yosemite Support: Complete OS X Yosemite new features and technology support.
- Handoff Support: Instantly switch between Pixelmator on your Mac and iPad.
- iCloud Drive Support: Safely store and access your images on all devices.
- Pixelmator for iPad: Fully compatible to work seamlessly with Pixelmator for iPad.
- Repair Tool Extension: Quickly fix images outside Pixelmator in apps like Mail or TextEdit.
Pixelmator Repair Tool works really well. I have been using it to touch up a lot of photos since the feature was first introduced in Pixelmator.
There are a few features that Pixelmator team can add in the future releases. Something like Adobe Photoshop’s Content Aware Fill.

Wrong Analogy
MCX CEO Dekkers Davidson told The Verge regarding CurrentC exclusivity:
I would observe parenthetically that I don’t think too many people complained when Apple went to market with the exclusive that you could only buy it at AT&T, which was the case for a while, and I think that was a reasonable business decision that Apple made, and they did what was in their best interest, and while Verizon customers may have been disappointed, they has made a choice as well.
That’s a wrong analogy, Dek!
Sure, when iPhone was first launched, it became an AT&T exclusive in the United States until January 2011. But AT&T did not stop selling other phones.
At this point, it is hard to believe any statements from MCX.
