The Simpsons in Game of Thrones!?

Nah, just kidding. What I meant to say is that The Simpsons show had an opening sequence parodying the Game of Thrones opening. I'm a big fan of the Simpsons and Game of Thrones. I absolutely love the Simpsons for their parodies and seeing their version of the Game of Thrones opening just amazed me. They did a great job, making the animation with great similarity and homage to the original sequence, right down to using the original score, the flaming rings transitions, buildings rising from the ground, the spinning gears and machine parts, the aerial view of the map, the growing tree and even some of the names (eg. Burns Landing a parody of Kings Landing). You have to see the videos together to appreciate the amount of effort they've put in. It's stuff that this that keeps me addicted to the show.

I've embedded the Simpsons opening, Game of Thrones opening and just for fun, a rock-violin cover of the highly cinematic Game of Thrones theme. Enjoy.

iPad 3? No, it's the New iPad.

A simple meme comic I made regarding the New iPad name.

After many, many rumours of a new iPad for months after the release of iPad2, Apple has released their new iPad and named it, well, "The New iPad".

The internet has been abuzzed with rumoured names like:
1) iPad 3 - a direct sequel to iPad 2.
2) iPad 2S - following the naming sequence of the iPhone 3G-3GS and iPhone 4-4S.
3) iPad HD - following rumours of a Retina Display screen.

Apple officially unveiled their new iPad and just called it that, The New iPad, showing everyone time and time again that Apple rumours are what they are, rumours. This new iPad is essentially the iPad 3rd generation, going by the same naming convention as their iPod, iPod Nano and iPod Touch lines. It'll probably just be released as iPad, further adding to the confusion.
