I wouldn’t even bother to besmirch the sanctity of the 43″ Ostendotech CRVD display and its 0.02 millisecond response time and 2880�900 resolution with the mediocrity that is my computer.

So it’s hard to really place a marker on the current gap between the big two. A quick glance at the infographic after the jump tells you a few things you ...

Moranis has got to be a geek. Just look at those glasses, that grin, his hair, that tight buttocks… wait, I meant tight scrotum. NO NO, tight acting skills! Yes. Acting skills. Aside from his affinity to inspire man crushes, Moranis has just GOT to be a fan of LEGOs. And these LEGO Ghostbusters pieces would definitly fall under “things ...
