Picard: Someone once told me that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we’ve lived. After all Number One, we’re only mortal.
Riker: Speak for yourself sir, I plan to live forever.

Official old man blog Hulk review-
It’s pretty good. Like, not Iron Man good, but much, much better than the last Hulk film. If you want to see the Hulk fighting and hulking out - then my friend you have arrived with this flick. There are some plot holes, but honestly the film moves so fast and is fun enough I was willing to overlook them.
Why you no see Hulk’s new movie?

Peggy Cifrino, Powell’s spokeswoman, confirmed that the presumptive Democratic nominee and the retired chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff chatted June 18, one-on-one for about an hour at the Armed Forces Benefit Association, where Powell rents space.
“Just an informal conversation,” Cifrino told On Call.
“ It’s too early to declare a completed and lasting turnaround from major struggles for the nation’s No. 3 wireless company. But with the early sales success of Sprint’s new Samsung Instinct phones, a much-needed reprieve from the FCC on a major wireless interference project, a WiMax deal with Clearwire and generally positive views of CEO Dan Hesse’s leadership, investors finally are giving Sprint the benefit of the doubt.

The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August.
This collider, called the largest scientific experiment in history, is expected to begin test runs in August. But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists’ wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth?

“ I’m told there were problems with Wowio’s own investors, who may have considered pulling out if they weren’t acquired. Wowio then paid Platinum a seven figure cash sum, in exchange for Platinum “buying” Wowio in exchange for stock.

Never thought I would quote Rich Johnston - who’s column I think is a lot of what’s wrong with comics and comics internet culture. However - if the above is true (It’s Rich Johnston, so that’s a BIG if) that would mean that WOWIO is in much more trouble than I have heard or that they have let on. Platinum is a penny stock. This is an odd turn - I had not heard this bit about Wowio paying Platinum to buy them.
From a creator stand-point, I was thinking very hard about contacting Wowio about Screamland when it had ran it’s course. Again, where else can I go to get the books in print as a quailty e-book? That said, I won’t go near anything that has the stink of Platinum on it.

“ Now comes an official announcement that Platinum Studios is negotiating to acquire WOWIO, thereby continuing “the expansion of Platinum Studios’ global digital media distribution strategy.
Blog@Newsarama » Blog Archive » Platinum negotiating to buy WOWIO
That would mean the end of WOWIO, in my opinion. I have heard a lot of good word of mouth about the publisher and I had used the service myself. All this said, I have heard the opposite about Platinum - I have never heard a good word about these guys. Also - watch what happens when Platinum touch things, they tend to die.
This would be too bad - WOWIO is currently the ONLY legal comic book download platform. Something else should happen here.
