Today on the 5: The new animated series Tron: Uprising premiered a few weeks ago, and I've been catching up on the episodes.

Today on the 5: The newest version of the MacBook Pro is going to be missing something previous versions had, the Ethernet port. While this is a small thing to remove, I wonder if it's a mistaken direction for Apple to move in.

Today on the 5: Several film sites are reporting that anywhere from 30-40 minutes of footage will be added to Prometheus for the DVD/Blu-Ray release. While I have no need to re-watch the theatrical cut again, I can't say that a longer 'extended cut' won't end up being a much better film.

Today on the 5: I just got out of the theater after watching Prometheus. Here's my take on the new Ridley Scott film.

Today on the 5: I've seen a lot of stuff around the web lately taking issue with skeptics on various topics. You can find vehement disputes of scientific tests that fail to find evidence of ghosts, UFOs, or psychics. My take on all this stuff is pretty simple; until I see something concrete, it's just a matter of people making up what they want to believe.
