I suppose the concept of instant gratification has been on my mind ever since reading an article about Google in a newspaper last week. Google, as some of you may know, [...]

So, Futurama is back, and as a “spearhead” they produced a trailer for “An Inconvenient Truth” (which I actually saw yesterday).
Review of movie to follow, but if you don’t know what it’s all about, watch these two trailers:
