The Virus by Jango Snow

Mario had no idea how far his career would go when he decided to go back to school and get his doctorate, but who could have guessed curing viruses with pills would lead to releasing a hit album? The Virus spoke to fans of his games and his doctoring skills, and when he told the youth to take the blue and red pills and not the red and yellow ones they listened. Soon he was touring with Sonic Hogg and Ice Link, and rappin' about his former life in the down and dirty sewers.

Share some geek love with your fellow Mario fans, bring home this super fun The Virus t-shirt and you'll be feeling better in no time!

The children of the ’80s are now adults with jobs, who have occasional disposable income between student loan payments. Makers of sugary breakfast cereals are capitalizing on this, re-releasing our childhood favorites for us to eat as snacks or inflict on our own children. That’s why Strawberry Honeycomb is back on shelves in some areas to tempt the nostalgia-stricken.

Strawberry Honeycomb debuted in 1983, and was taken off the market…well, no one seems to know when it was taken off the market, including Post in its own press release. We would guess sometime in the ’90s. Now Post wants us to know that it’s back in “select” stores. Which stores those are isn’t clear, since the company directs customers to a product finder that doesn’t yet list strawberry as a valid Honeycomb flavor. At the same time, the flavor isn’t on their “discontinued products” page, either, leaving it in a strange cereal limbo.

Strawberry Honeycomb follows General Mills’ French Toast Crunch back onto the shelves and into the cabinets of cereal-loving millennials.

What you see above is the first satellite photo of the contiguous 48 states of the United States. It was created in 1972 for NASA by a US agriculture department division, and comprises 595 cloud-free photos captured by NASA’s first Earth Resources Technology Satellite.

All the photos were captured from the same altitude of 560 miles and at the same lighting angle, allowing the images to be seamlessly stitched together into a giant 10×16-foot photo map of the US. You can find a larger version of the image here.

Beer is so, so good. All of it gets you drunk, and a lot of it even tastes good in the process! What more could you ask for? Maybe just a quick little primer on how to get the most out of the experience? What's that? "No," you say? "Fuck that," in fact, you say?

Emojis have hijacked our words, our social networks , and the general literacy of our nation's youth . So while it feels like I should hate rapper Yung Jake's absurdly skilled emoji-based portraits on principle alone—I can't. They are grotesque, they are obscene, and they are incredible.

A man in Western Australia attached a GoPro 3+ Black Edition to his remote-controlled electric glider to capture some gorgeous views of the coast. But minutes after take-off, the man lost his glider in the sun, and it crashed into the ocean.

The remote-controlled electric glider didn’t survive — its circuits fried in the salty waters. But the GoPro survived, and it captured some stunning images.

There’s plenty of fish:

Some sea turtles:

Even a shark:

Check out the whole video below, courtesy of YouTube user "MrLiftHog." The crash happens at 3:08.

The bad: screwing Quadra/68040 owners over. "Oh, you'll be able to upgrade to Power PC" WITH A MOTHERBOARD SWAP LOL. Wasn't so bad as that computer stayed sueful for most of the 90s. Making you "take a number" and wait at "the Genius Bar" for hours or even making you come back the next day. And those stores are at worst glorified cellphone shops and at best polluted with "smug".

The good: One of the "Geniuses" referred me to an independent shop that could install a new HD on my out-of-warranty G3 PowerBook for less. Or and the time they replaced those firestarting MacBook adaptors for free.

Also, Tekserve in NYC are very good. Transferred my data over to the new lappy, upgraded my RAM the same day.

Which polling company do you trust? British-based Reuters says Obama’s approval rating has plummeted to 37% while the U.S.-based Obama-ass-kissing fellas at Gallup say his approval rating is at 46%. Somebody must have their finger on the scale.
