Probably the greatest news that all Futurama fans were longing to hear. Futurama is returning to the big screen! (or should I say small?).
The 26 new episodes will be available in mid 2010 and will be aired on Comedy Central.

NEW YORK, June 10, 2009 — 20th Century Fox Television, the animation powerhouse that brought “Family Guy” back from the dead five years ago, has done it again: Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s brilliantly subversive animated sci-fi comedy “Futurama” will return to production on 26 new half-hour episodes more than six years after the series aired its last original episode. The move comes on the heels of the series’ blockbuster performance on DVD and on COMEDY CENTRAL; the announcement was made today by Twentieth Century Fox Television Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden, and David Bernath, senior vice president, programming for COMEDY CENTRAL.

Go party now…meatbag!

Loading ... Loading ... Have you ever wondered where and why the term ‘BUG’, used to indicate a failure in a computer program, was born?

“A software bug (or just “bug”) is an error, flaw, mistake, “undocumented feature”, failure, or fault in a computer program that prevents it from behaving as intended”

Thomas Edison and Grace Hopper are two names that stand out when talking about the etymology of the term ‘Bug’.
Thomas often recurred to the term in his letters to express ‘little faults and difficulties’.

“The invention of the term is often erroneously attributed to Grace Hopper, who publicized the cause of a malfunction in an early electromechanical computer.”

According to Hopper, the cause of the malfunction was an insect.

“Hopper was not actually the one who found the insect, as she readily acknowledged. The operators who did find it (including William “Bill” Burke, later of the Naval Weapons Laboratory, Dahlgren Va.), were familiar with the engineering term and, amused, kept the insect with the notation ‘First actual case of bug being found.’ “
