By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] The sight of Harrison Ford running around cracking his whip must have inspired them because now the four original Ghostbusters are set for a comeback, nearly 20 years since they last saved New York from ectoplasmic slime. Columbia has hired two scriptwriters from the Ricky Gervais sitcom “The Office” to begin writing the script for Ghostbusters 3. When completed, the four Ghostbusters Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and ...

Are you the kind of person who is sometimes so focused on his work that when you start working on your computer during the day, you don’t realize how long you’ve been staring at your screen until everything is dark around you? I know it has happened to me a few times in the past. However, I wasn’t a parent back then. There’s nothing quite like a child to bring you out of that kind ...

The fact is, there are still plenty of great domain names laying around, you just have to be a little imaginative. [Via Self Made Minds]

Just when you thought that McDonald’s and Burger King’s burgers were the ultimate in unhealthiness, these things appear to prove you wrong: Yes folks, these are cheeseburgers in which the buns have been replaced by Krispy Kreme donuts. This was apparently served for lunch at Google NYC’s cafeteria to celebrate the birthday of the head of the cafe staff. Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’ll go empty the content of my stomach.

By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] It seems that computer viruses are now boldly going where no computer virus has gone before - the International Space Station. The virus, otherwise known as “W32.Gammima.AG” to his buddies, was found on laptops which the astronauts use to email Mission Control in Texas. However NASA was at great pains to stress that the virus-infected computers were at no time linked to the internet or the space station controls. ...

By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] Is there such a thing as ‘ethical computer hacking’? Abertay University in Scotland seems to think so because they are now offering a course to postgraduate students in the subject. They are already teaching undergraduates a course in ‘Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures’. But now they are going further with a course to the postgraduates - but only if they pass the strict vetting procedures to make sure that they ...

Shortly after 12:00 PM PDT today, Google released the beta version of its new web browser, Google Chrome. Currently it’s only available for Windows Vista and XP, and only in 32-bit. I downloaded it and took it for a test drive. Whenever I install software on Windows, I always customize the installation to eliminate the desktop icon, if that option is provided. I wasn’t disappointed: Note that Chrome can import your settings from Firefox and ...

Directed by John Moore and featuring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, the movie adaption of Max Payne - the game, will apparently be released on October 17, 2008. If the movie is as any good as the trailer looks, I think we’ll be in for a great time at the big screen. What do you think?

By Jimmy Rogers Contributing Writer, [GAS] Where Anchorman left off, Goodnight Burbank picks right back up and keeps rolling. In the show, a bunch of ornery, crazy, and sometimes lovable news anchors try to keep it all together while just barely reporting the news. Goodnight Burbank’s quirky style and entertaining banter has built it into a solid online show with a full cast of characters. One of the recurring themes of the show is the ...

The rumors that Google have been secretly working on an industry-changing browser have been circulating for years - I made similar comments about this on this very blog just a month or two ago - and now it appears that the legend was true, as Google has announced that their new browser, titled Chrome, will be released tomorrow (September 2, 2008). They’ve even made a comic book explaining how it all works. The software is ...

By Mark O’Neill Contributing Writer, [GAS] A lot of “World of Warcraft” gamers apparently don’t want to go through the huge amounts of time needed to build up the gold to initially create their characters. Either because they can’t be bothered or because they have day jobs which stop them from gaming all day. So to cut a few corners, they go online and buy the gold they need from “gold farmers” in the Far ...

I am also glad that Back To The Future made the cut. But Harry Potter? Can Harry Potter ...

Most people think that when a dog drinks, he creates a kind of spoon with the top of his tongue and brings liquid back to his mouth. When looking at a dog lapping at a bowl of water in real time, it certainly seems this way. But if you slow down a film of the process at around 300 frames by second, things are not really as they appear. Video after the jump. [Picture source: ...

But even then, it’s rare that a song comes along that is both eminently geeky and eminently musical, and I can’t think of a better way to describe “Code Monkey” by Jonathan Coulton. Anyone who has spent any time doing professional computer work will find something to relate to in this song, and more ...
