    Macs have, traditionally (and still), focused on graphics, colors, and fonts. Because they (traditionally) controlled their own hardware, hence, software drivers, they could really push the limits on the hardware. The Mac OS graphics APIs had much more care and maturing than other OSs which had to code for the general case and leaving the software drivers to the manufacturers. Eventually, Microsoft and hardware companies caught up, but by that time, Mac became synonimous with graphical design and has remained the "standard" for it. Apple has played more with the graphics APIs than others so you do have better color accuracy, crisper fonts, blah blah blah, etc.. That being said, a normal person will not be able to tell the difference and most people probably won't be able to tell the difference. My opinion is as long as the laptop has dedicated graphics, you'll be fine with any laptop. And since you have a larger monitor already, even better. Just don't do any design work on a puny 15" or 17" laptop screen.

    Probably meant Delta Plus.

    Oh well. Killed by $$$ spent in post-production. At least they'll air the pilot on TV, at some point. Unfortunately if it costs that much just for the pilot, I really don't see how a web-series would be feasible unless it was covered from head-to-toe in ads.

    Well, Lili Bordan plays a character who use to work for Graystone Industries. That enough of a tie-in? They can always bring in Esai Morales with old-person makeup for those times "Husker" goes on shore-leave...

    My condolences to his family.

    It's suppose to be a 2-hour backdoor pilot. We'll see how it does.

    For prosperity, I shall post the pitch made at 2012 Nickeloden Upfront on March 14, 2012 at the Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York: (Yeah, Dailymotion doesn't work with media tags.)Robbie Rist (VA of Michelangelo in the original movies) also posted his response earlier today... I'll let you gents read the TMZ version of it since I can't find the letter. EX-NINJA TURTLES ACTOR, Michael Bay is 'Sodomizing' the TMNT Legacy Yeah, I'm beyond caring....

    Apparently people do watch giants robots spinning and more explosions and jumping and more explosions and camera shake and more explosions and slow pans and more explosions and Victoria Secret models playing lead actress' roles and more explosions and Bay-slopsions and more explosions... Yeah, it hasn't been green-lit and I feel like my un-eaten lunch is coming back up... BTW: Michael Bay's response to TMNT fandom's call for his head on a pike

    Yes, those Yammies and Bandai kits don't sell themselves. (Honestly, if they did Gundam Evolve-type shorts for Macross toys, I'd be all over those.)

    I sense a lack of google-fu and wiki-fu. Let me save you the trouble. Ubuntu is one of many Linux OS distributions. Unlike Microsoft's Windows or Apple's Mac OS, where a single company is resonpsible for releasing an OS, Linux is a free and open-source (meaning the source code, is avaliable on the webs). Since the code is available for free, many individuals and groups have created their own modifications or distribution of the Linux OS. They all use the same basic core Linux OS, but each have their own modifications (hardware and software support, software packages, user interface, etc.). So no, it's not an operating system, but a modified version of an operating system.

    That's it. If there's a strong showing, they may consider putting up elsewhere. Otherwise, that's it. Unless Bandai says they'll take care of it and put it in their theme park (Kotaku).

    Wow. Professional contract. Wow. Anybody heading to Japan at that time should probably block out those dates. ONLY PART? OK, I get the height limitations, but PART? Can they at least do a 1:1 full VF-25? In fighter mode? It's only 19m long, 16 m wide and ~5 m tall with the landing gear out. That could fit, right?!?!?!?

    Reminds me of this thread on Fwoosh from the user, "glorbes": http://www.thefwoosh.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12823&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

    Why not?

    I'm old fashion but I prefer a physical copy since downloading can take forever and I don't want x-GB installation files taking room on my hard drives. Yep, especially when you're trying to figure out what a component is from the list of drivers.

    If they let the guys participate and they sing some Fire Bomber, you might have a good show. IF they sound good.

    I just wanna see what this 1:1 VF-25F GERWALK looks like. We already got a 1:1 RX-78-2 Gundam.

    I just want Bandai to make an MG of Delta....like NOW.

    They're not as consumer friendly as Newegg. Trying to get info out of them for a product I wanted to buy was like pulling new teeth out. If you can avoid customer service, great. Otherwise, they're no better or worst than any other retailer. Another good thing is I can get gift certificates for TigerDirect.

    Didn't Tom Bateman mention that HG made enough money from the sales of RTSC to move forward with a sequel, and yet here we are how many years later? Yeah, I'm not sure about that marketing research-comment either.
