As humiliating as it sounds, let me repeat: the MacBook Air is so thin that it got tossed out with the newspapers.

Given the usual state of my home office, this doesn’t actually make me more likely to buy one…

The latest take-off from the makers of Scary Movie and The Naked Gun.

If you have any thought that it’s possible for these people to be funny, watch the trailer. It’s one of the most horrible things I have ever seen.

Congratulations Denver on being chosen #1 for Lust.

That’s a little over the minimum length of a novel.

The directors of the Matrix go very strange in this film based on a cartoon.

A spice gun.

This would definitely make cooking more fun!
