10020What Are You Reading?/Favorite BooksI'm nearly done with Worst Case. It's a pretty good crime drama book. It's basically about a New York City detective stopping at nothing to go after this killer.<br><br>Next, I might read "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", which inspired the move 127 Hours.<br>Mr MagicJul 23, 2014View

10013Remember Sony's "Walkman"?On the flip side, Betamax players are collector's items worth hundreds of dollars now. So, score for those poor saps who bought one ages ago and kept it. <br>Vaporman87Jul 23, 2014View
10012post-apocalypse moviesIt's been ages since I watched Johnny Mnemonic. I'll have to re-watch that one. I know I didn't like it as much as The Matrix (which felt similar in mood and style). But since the sequels made that franchise lame, perhaps watching the stand alone Johnny Mnemonic will seem much better now. <br>Vaporman87Jul 23, 2014View

10010Remember Sony's "Walkman"?As Bluigi and vkimo point out, Sony has an ego.&nbsp; Again and again, it smacks them.&nbsp; From Beta to Minidisc to Memory Stick.&nbsp; Remember when Playstation 3 was $600?&nbsp; <br><blockquote rel="pikachulover"><b>pikachulover wrote :</b><br><i> Didn't Sony have an MP3 player Walkman when ipods became popular like 10 years ago?
