This is really great, from 1990. The cyberpunk woman has a keyboard that plugs into her head.

a panda, Malmö (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 23 November 2012 09:28 (thirteen years ago)

uh I didn't realise it would actually linkify my non-bbcode html but it's put a " on the end which may or may not nullify it and it's been fixed for like 15 years so I'm not regarding this as a major threat

a panda, Malmö (a passing spacecadet), Friday, 23 November 2012 09:30 (thirteen years ago)

(Oh, it's OK, it's \con\con that causes a bluescreen anyway)

(sorry, I'm shitting up a good thread. GOOD THREAD)

Brian Eno's Mother (Latham Green), Thursday, 10 January 2013 21:12 (thirteen years ago)

Forgot all about Dogpile! A search engine that ran your query through multiple search engines to increase your chances of finding stuff. Used it quite a bit before Google took over.

Most of the old search sites are still there, but not what they seem. Altavista.com is owned by Yahoo and returns the same results as Yahoo does, which itself is powered by Bing. Netscape.com = AOL.com, etc.

Never saw Lawnmower Man - was too young when it came out - but wow it looks pretty insane. I saw a clip last night as part of a Rifftrax 90's Internet thing (that also included 4-5 minutes each of Hackers and The Net) and there was a part where his mouth turns into a lawnmower which he uses to eat a brain, and it's all done in glorious early cartoony CGI. Also I LOL'd when the riffers said it looked like he was being sucked into a Trapper Keeper.
