“Bones Brigade: An Autobiography” is a film released this year that features what the director calls “the greatest skateboard team ever assembled.” The film on Wednesday made it to the No. 1 documentary on iTunes.
Featuring Tony Hawk, Lance Mountain, Steve Caballero, Tommy Guerrero, Mike McGill and Rodney Mullen, “Bones Brigade” uses archival footage and first-person accounts to chronicle the team.
“We’re having an amazing time releasing “Bones Brigade: An Autobiography” in a new and modern way that is putting on the cutting edge of independent film distribution,” says Stacy Peralta, the film’s director and mentor of the original Bones Brigade; “having the support of iTunes, which has the exclusive rental for our film, will help us reach a wider and more diverse audience, and we are stoked, honored and thrilled for their collaboration.”
Did you know you can see the International Space Station from your house? As the third brightest object in the sky, after the sun and moon, the space station is easy to see if you know where and when to look for it.NASA’s Spot the Station service sends you an email or text message a few hours before the space station passes over your house.
This is kind of a neat idea, especially if the emails give you enough time to get outside and to a good, non-lit location.
“We believe BB10 is likely to be DOA,” James Faucette, a Pacific Crest analyst in Portland, Oregon, said in a report. He has the equivalent of a sell rating on the shares. “We expect the new OS to be met with a lukewarm response at best and ultimately likely to fail.”

If you truly dislike bullshit writing and don’t want to support it, hit the publishers where it hurts: don’t read it, and don’t link to it.
Marco brings up a good point, but there is another side to this. The mainstream media often writes complete shit articles that are factually wrong. Ignoring it won’t make it go away. The average consumer often believes the crap these people write, so taking them down a peg or two may help.
I honestly don’t know if it helps or not, but I feel a responsibility to point out articles that are incorrect. Perhaps shaming them and the sites they work for will help.
Of course, there is a group of people that just write bullshit for pageviews — I don’t always link to those.
“I am pleased and proud to become a member of the board,” Cue said in a statement. “I have personally dreamed of owning a Ferrari since I was 8 years old and have been lucky to be an owner for the past 5 years. I continue to be awed by the world-class design and engineering that only Ferrari can do.”
I’m seriously disappointed in Google not standing behind a defective Nexus 7, just because I didn’t purchase it from them. Apple and Amazon stand behind their products no matter where you purchased them.
Apple’s true advantage is when applications are available across all three platforms, offering a device-optimized and consistent experience no matter what I am using.They offer a frictionless experience.
Call it the ultimate absentee ballot.NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station have the option of voting in the presidential election from orbit.Astronauts residing on the orbiting lab receive a digital version of their ballot, which is beamed up by Mission Control at the agency’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. Filled-out ballots find their way back down to Earth along the same path.
Apple made the arguments today to U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal in federal court in San Jose. Apple’s bid to expand the lawsuit follows Samsung’s Oct. 1 move to add patent- infringement claims against the iPhone 5 in the same case.
But it didn’t take me a week and a half to decide whether the Surface is better than the iPad. At most it took a couple days, and that’s being generous. You’d likely arrive at the same conclusion after playing with the Surface for just a few minutes in a Microsoft Store. That’s because the new tablet’s flaws are glaring.
The Nokia Lumia 820 starts at $49.99 with a two-year wireless contract from AT&T while the flagship Lumia 920 phones start at $99.99 with the same contract terms.
That’s much more aggressive than what I would have thought. Seems they are going straight for the low-end market.
Prime typically costs $79 a year in the United States for free two-day shipping, free video streaming and access to Amazon’s Kindle e-book lending library. The company is now offering the service for $7.99 a month on its website, which works out to $95.88 a year, but at that rate it can be purchased strictly on a month-to-month basis.
