Imagine you are the two guys behind this summer's diabolically bad Terminator: Salvation movie. Your film of humanity's destruction also destroys a solid 3-picture franchise and any hope of a better future (who's gonna make a sequel after that?). Then you declare bankruptcy and run from your creditors (who include among them the lead actors from both the original and your  re-imagined celluloid dream: Christian Bale AND Arnold Schwarzenegger. Take it away LA Times:

The producers of "Terminator Salvation" have filed for bankruptcy and their list of creditors is a veritable "who's who" of Hollywood.

Just a day after the duo sued their investors for allegedly pushing them into a series of bad business decisions and placing what they claim is an illegal lien on their property, three companies belonging to Derek Anderson and Victor Kubicek, owners of the "Terminator" franchise rights and the producers of May's "Terminator Salvation," filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on Tuesday.

For years, my browser-of-choice has been Flock, the social media browser built on Firefox. Last month I switched my browser to Firefox 3.5 with the Yoono plug-in to see how it compared w/ Flock, and to learn what using a 'more standard' browser experience felt like. Aside from using all the same plugins and addons as Firefox, the experience was very similar.

But I couldn't get comfortable with using Yoono. It's UI feels disruptive, cluttered, and less useful than Flock's built-in social media enabling features. Now that Flock has added more functionality for Twitter (easy re-tweets, replies, and direct-messages) and integrated Facebook chat into the chrome (so you don't have to be on a Facebook page to access it), I've switched back. I've even explored the "My World" page built into Flock. With just a few simple customizations, I was able to reproduce the same functionality as TweetDeck, which can now be removed (right after I un-instill Firefox).

Way to go Flock! Be sure to check out it's new version 2.5.1 available for all platforms

Whether you think he's Odin, Thor, or just plain Eric the Red, the transition of this menacing German into a techno dancer is classic. Key questions remain unanswered like:

  1. What did he drink from the bottle handed to him (1:20sec in)
  2. What was written on the note passed to him (2:05sec in)
  3. What is the origin of the talisman around his neck that, when pulled, can arrest his dancing so quickly (3:58sec in)
  4. Was he mocking the backpack-wearing rave kids around him, or does he really enjoy dancing this way?

Be sure to get Mirth's technicolor Techno Viking T-shirt to boost your 'internet meme' cred.

Liv sleeps on Uncle Frank's front porch

Contrary to popular belief, my neighborhood is sunny, quiet, and loaded with sensitive father figures that young ones can totally relax with. Check out this picture of Baby Liv sleeping on Uncle Frank's front porch. In fact, Uncle Frank's own dad lives only two blocks away!

[ UPDATE ] The N810 is now available on eBAY

[ Cross-posted from the Maemo Community site ]

Hi,

I'm selling a carefully cared for N810 purchased in February of this year. This community has been a tremendous resource for my learning about this device, so I'd prefer to sell it here than eBay.

I'm asking $225, payable by PayPal, for the N810 device itself, its original AC adapter, USB dongle and everything listed/photographed below. I'll ship anywhere in the US at no extra cost once PayPal payment received. PM me if you're interested.

via FS: N810 + Newest OS/Apps + 13Gb of chips + Free Shipping US: $225 - maemo.org - Talk.
