| Unfortunately, this isn't a screenshot of the app. |
Have you ever wished that you could have Tony Stark's totally awesome AI assistant? Well, I have good news. You can! As long as you can wait four days. The app will be available for both iPhone and Android users.
Paul Bettany, the voice of JARVIS, recorded 20 hours of audio specifically for this app. A lot of Blu-ray movies and TV shows are creating apps for a second screen experience. Viewers can watch behind the scenes videos, facts, interviews, and other extra features. JARVIS will become the very first voice activated second screen experience with the release of Iron Man 3 on Blu-ray.
But, 20 hours of audio of behind the scenes stuff? That sounds like a lot. What else can this bad-boy do? Oh, it can also be used as your personal assistant. Say whaaaat?! Sounds too good to be true, right? I wonder how much you can actually do with JARVIS. So far, all we know is that you will be able to do the following; check the local weather, be used as an alarm clock, and post to social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
It sounds like JARVIS may possibly be better than Siri, not that that would be hard to accomplish. See you Tuesday, JARVIS!

Do we have a new Gangnam Style on the rise? The latest viral video going around is a music video for the song "The Fox" by Ylvis, a Norwegian duo. Check it out:
It's ridiculous....it's stupid....and it's amazingly catchy.
Expect to see this on ringtones everywhere by next week.
By the way, is anyone else curious now as to what noises foxes actually do make? Google searches for this must be skyrocketing.
Ylvis - The Fox Lyrics:
Dog goes woof
Cat goes meow
Bird goes tweet
And mouse goes squeek
Cow goes moo
Frog goes croak
And the elephant goes toot
Ducks say quack, fish goes blub
And the seal goes ow ow ow
But there’s one sound - That no one knows
What does the fox say?
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding
Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding
What does the fox say?
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow
What does the fox say?
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho
What does the fox say?
Tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff
Tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff
Tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoffo-tchoff
What does the fox say?
Big blue eyes
Pointy nose
Chasing mice
and digging holes
Tiny paws
Up the hill
Suddenly you're standing still
Your fur is red
So beautiful
Like an angel in disguise
But if you meet
A friendly horse
Will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that ho-o-o-o-orse?
What does the fox say?
Tchacha-chacha-chacha-chow
Tchacha-chacha-chacha-chow
Tchacha-chacha-chacha-chow
What does the fox say?
Fra-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow
Fra-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow
Fra-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow
What does the fox say?
A-hee-aee ha-hee
A-hee-aee ha-hee
A-hee-aee ha-hee
What does the fox say?
A-oo-oo-oo-ooo
Woo-oo-oo-ooo
What the does the fox say?
The secret of the fox
Ancient mystery
Somewhere deep in the woods
I know you're hiding
What is your sound
Will we ever know?
Will always be a mystery
What do you say?
You're my guardian angel
Hiding in the woods
What is your sound
Will we ever know?
I want to...I want to...I want to know!
May God have mercy on our souls and may any aliens that visit us not judge us all too harshly.

Although this has happened several times before, Futurama is coming to an end with its series finale episode that airs tonight, entitled "Meanwhile". To celebrate the fantastic series, you'll find a complete review of the episode once it airs, but for now, let's take a look back at how we got here.
In the past, Futurama has had a couple of episodes that acted as a series finale in case it would not be renewed. "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings", which aired August 10, 2003, was the first of these. Writer Ken Keeler, who has written all of the potential finales, left things open ended enough that there could be a return, but if not, we were left off with an indication that Fry and Leela would be happy together. Fry's holophonor opera has seemingly failed, but in a sweet scene that works both in-story and breaking the fourth wall, Leela asks "Please don't stop playing, Fry. I want to hear how it ends."
Futurama would return later on through a series of four DVD movies that once again "ended" with "Into the Wild Green Yonder", wherein the creators once again split the decision and go for a final scene that references both the story and the show itself. The Planet Express ship along with the principal cast of characters inside approach a wormhole with uncertainty of what will happen, but excitement towards the future ahead of them. Fry and Leela solidify their relationship and kiss.
The next episode, "Rebirth" (a title which says it all) started the Comedy Central era in a rebooted sense, leading us to the finale we're at now - once again written by Ken Keeler.
What I would like to see in the finale
Everyone plans out ideas of what a series finale should be for a TV show that they love and I'm no different, whether it be for How I Met Your Mother, The Simpsons, or how frustrating it was that we didn't get proper finales for shows like Heroes and FlashForward.
Perhaps only being rivaled by How I Met Your Mother and Scrubs from what I've seen, Futurama is one of the best comedies that has a consistent heart as well. Despite being built around laughs, it does not shy away from sad scenes that tug at the heartstrings. "Jurassic Bark" is notorious for being an epically depressing (though thankfully they retconned that later on with "Bender's Big Score" - itself filled with sad scenes depicting Fry's past, love for Leela and so forth). "The Luck of the Fryrish" is another, revolving around the revelation that Fry's bully of an older brother, Yancy, actually did love him.
They've shown that they can maintain continuity extremely well and reference events from previous episodes as being much more important than you would have assumed when you originally watched it (ie, Fry becoming his own grandfather in the Area 51 time travel, resulting in his Delta Brainwave abnormality that is the reason for Nibbler freezing Fry even in the first episode!)
What I'm hoping we get is a mix of all these aspects of Futurama. I'd love to see them go the sentimental route more than going for cheap laughs if they have to choose between the two. Fry and Leela should in fact end up together (as evidenced by Bender's "ultimate fate" description in "Overclockwise"). There should also be references to his past, despite how we already saw some closure in "Murder on the Planet Express" (which, by the way, is the only episode of a TV show to officially make me cry...twice). I'd love to see a glimpse into the future, where Fry and Leela have a son that they've named Yancy, named after Fry's brother and father, "to carry on their spirit".
Make this count...and make it so good that we don't need Futurama to return again (even though I'd love for them to continue).
For now, we wait, but this post will be updated with a full review of "Meanwhile" and a retrospective review of the series in whole in a few hours. Stay tuned!
Meanwhile Episode Review
The Nerdist was running a pre-finale and post-finale show, and while the episode was going on, they literally ran THE HYPNOTOAD! Hilarious!
This episode revolved around a time travel device created by Professor Farnsworth that allows whomever presses it to go back to the previous 10 seconds - but only the previous 10 seconds. What better thing to use as a plot device for Futurama than time travel?
Fry proposes to Leela and awaits her answer, but when he thinks she has opted out, he jumps off a skyscraper to his eventual death - realizing before falling that his watch was fast from the time travel device. In the midst of attempting to save Fry's life, the device breaks, freezing time for Fry and Leela seemingly forever.
They live their lives together, growing old together. As an elderly couple (implied, at least from my interpretation, to be near death), they go back to their proposal spot and are approached by Professor Farnsworth, who fixes the machine and informs them that they can all reset it back to when it originally broke.
Fry and Leela, having no regrets, decide that they'll sacrifice themselves (time travel duplicates, and whatnot) and allow the younger Fry and Leela to "have another go-around". I actually thought that they would have the Professor fix the machine so they could retain their memories or at least allow their older selves to talk to their younger selves, fill them in on what happened, and walk off into the sunset to their eventual deaths, allowing their younger versions to basically have two lifetimes of memories. Even though they didn't necessarily show that, the fact that they didn't means one could interpret it that way, if they so choose.
Overall, I was quite happy with this episode. There wasn't much for Bender and company to do, nor was it the most hilarious, but as I said, I was preferring a sentimental ending more than just a chuckle-fest and they delivered.
This was yet another open-ended finale, and I'm very proud of Ken Keeler and everyone involved for pulling it off once more. Congrats on a great series, everyone!

After the recent announcement of Nintendo's new variation of the 3DS known as the 2DS, the Big N has felt they needed another addition to their family of handhelds.
Before I share this new announcement, here is a breakdown of the features mentioned for the upcoming 2DS. This system strips the 3D functionality and no longer folds up into a clamshell like the DS, 3DS and 3DS XL systems before it. However, much like the 3DS and 3DS XL, it will have Internet connectivity and have access to the Nintendo eShop. The system is set to release on Oct. 12 for a very attractive price of $129.99.
But, it does not end there...
Riding on the heels of anticipation of the 2DS comes an even more affordable option to enjoy Nintendo 3DS and DS games. Ladies and gentleman, my body is ready to reveal to you the Nintendo 1DS.
 |
| Nintendo's new handheld, the 1DS. |
To further innovate upon the existing line of 3DS systems, the 1DS not only strips away 3D functionality and clamshell fold, it also strips away the unnecessary bottom screen. Much like the 2DS, it will have access to the eShop and Internet connectivity and play 3DS and original DS games.
To coincide with the upcoming release of the 1DS, Nintendo has announced they will be releasing a slew of 1DS games which will be made available. The games will be more advanced, more dynamic and more appealing. Look for 500 Nintendo 1DS titles to be released by year's end.
For more details, go to this website.
DISCLAIMER: The previous story was meant as a parody. You know I am a Nintendo fanboy. Special thanks to fellow contributor Michael Burhan for finding this little piece of satire. The Nintendo 1DS is indeed fake. We here at Fanboys Anonymous just thought it was hilarious and very well done, so we wanted to join in on the fun. Sorry!
