Note: This is nowhere nearthe whole graphic (apparently the future is loooooooong), click HERE to see the whole thing. This is a giant infographic designed by Michael Hobson featuring sci-fi movies and television shows based in the future and what humanity has to look forward to during a particular period. SPOILER: nothing good. Just sayin’, if I had died yesterday I wouldn’t be complaining. Get it? I’d be too busy watching you all undress as a ghost! OMG OMG — I saw this one dude that looked like he had tits on his back. I went in for a motorboat but my face went right through him! The Future According To Films [visual.ly] Thanks to skamondongo, who agrees the future is looking pretty bleak for anybody but androids.

Note: This pic is small and doesn’t do the piece justice so to see the whole thing click CHEER . Oh shit, oh shit — spirit fingers! DeviantARTist gottabecarl went and mashed the Futurama and X-Men universes together. This is what he got. Oh really — then what about the superpowers you’re not telling us about?! ARE YOU X-RAY VISIONIN’ MY NIPPLES RIGHT NOW?! You wanna? A friend of mine suggested one day that it would be cool to see the characters of Futurama as X-Men and so I drew him Fry as Cyclops. For some reason I couldn’t just stop there…and what came of it was a pretty extensive illustration with some of the most obscure characters from both the X-Men and Futurama universes. Great job, Carl. It’s times like these I wish God would have given me some sort of artistic talent. But alas, all I got was a face that could make Adonis cry and a wiener that NASA wants to use as a ladder to the moon. Still, I wish I could draw. Carl’s deviantART Thanks to Martin, who once mashed Batman and Robin together and got, well, Batman and Robin rubbing twinkies.

Mashup!: Futurama Characters As X-Mens

Filed under: Gadgets , Etc. , Tech , Volkswagen Vehicle infotainment systems, those all-inclusive interfaces controlling the myriad electronics on today’s modern cars and trucks, can make or break the driving experience. CNET is offering us a sneak-peek at Volkswagen’s latest iteration from the company’s Electronic Research Laboratory (ERL). Developed with Intel, the new system uses Global Open Research Infotainment Architecture, or GLORIA. Most systems today us a joystick-like device, touch screen, or hard buttons on the edge of the display (or a combination of the three) to control the inputs. Volkswagen’s new GLORIA system takes it one step further by making Apple iPhone-like “gesture control” possible. This means that users are able to navigate quickly by simply tracing single letters across the pressure-sensitive display. Another unique feature may allow users to import third-party widgets for the system, much like consumers currently load apps from iTunes onto their iPhones. As cool as it sounds, GLORIA is still under development and she isn’t expected to see showrooms for a few more years.
