Why Go Into Darkness When You Can Go Back To School?

Saturday, May 18th, 2013 | Author: OWC Michael

Last week we shared Audi’s two Spocks commercial with you and it staved off our anticipation for our company outing this weekend to see Star Trek: Into Darkness for a little while. However after finding this gem of a Start Trek short from internet sensations Rhett & Link, I’m thinking I don’t even need to see the movie anymore. How could it possibly be better than this?

 

 

So, which do you think is better? Tell us in the comments.

Search For Spock? We Found Two.

With Star Trek: Into Darkness hitting theaters in a mere eight days, it is fitting that Audi is using the two Spocks (Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy) to shill their latest vehicle, the Audi S7.

iSteve Review: Only Fans Need Apply

Announced in March, iSteve reportedly was written in three days and filmed in just five to ensure it would be the first to be released. But none of that matters if the movie isn’t funny. So is it? Well, let’s just say Funny or Die could learn a lesson from Apple: being first to market doesn’t make you best. Article Continues…

Taking Extreme Performance to Heart at CES

Friday, January 18th, 2013 | Author: OWC Grant

Elite, Extreme, Pro…those are just a few of the descriptive terms found in many of our products’ names. We use them because we push the envelope past what’s commonly available because we know that’s what you’ve come to expect from us.

While the OWC Blog is mostly centered on news about products, Mac teardown tips & findings, and industry news, we do occasionally cut loose and have some fun. But, that fun is also taken to the extreme to honor that “work hard, play hard” phrase.

Most nights at CES, the OWC team eats dinner right after the show closes and then we hit our rooms to do, as I say, our “day jobs”. This year, I knew I had to make some time to make one night an extreme adventure. Article Continues…
