MacGyver Film In the Works? Why not MacGruber?
MacGyver Film In the Works?
An anonymous reader writes “Looks like everyone’s favorite Swiss Army knife-wielding action hero may be making an appearance on the big screen. The original series creator has announced plans are in the works for a MacGyver film. Serious questions abound: Will Richard Dean Anderson reprise the role? Will filming and editing somehow be done only using a paperclip, duct-tape, and TV remote?” And who, if not Anderson, would you want to play MacGyver?

Geek Gift! Chat Plates
“Don’t talk with your mouth full” - maybe that’s what inspired Japanese designer Ikuko Nakazawa to come up with this nice set of porcelain plates.
Quirky and charming, these plates were designed to resemble conversation bubbles from manga, or Japanese comics.
This set of three plates features one large plate and two smaller plates and is perfect for serving small meals and snacks.
The Chat Plates are available from MoMA Store for $45.

Microsoft pulls bid for Yahoo!, Microhoo will never be
Well, that’s that! Microsoft has officially pulled its bid for Yahoo! — inflated for good measure this weekend by another $5 billion — after the company did “not move toward accepting [the] offer”, asking again for even more, another $4 bil (totaling $9b more than the original offer). In a letter from Ballmer to Yang, he states that Microsoft also won’t be looking at its option for a hostile takeover, stating that Yahoo! likely “would take steps that would make [it] undesirable as an acquisition”; Ballmer then goes on to make a few backhanded criticisms of Yahoo’s possible new partnerships with Google (which is no surprise). Good night, Microhoo, the monstrous, hamstrung, lumbering mega-merger that might have been.
