Newcastle

Suprisingly diverse and cosmopolitan city in the far north of England, also home of Viz comic which reflects the rich slang and drunkenness this city has bestowed.

A suprising amount of Urban Dictionary, mine too, are influenced by Viz.
Newcastle Brown ale was specially imported by Clint Eastwood due to the fact it's so awesome. And if it's good enough for cowboys, it's good enough for you.

Ghost in the Shell

Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.

In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.

The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.

Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

Alienware

One of the only computer builders to make cool looking systems. Even pricier than Mac and occasionaly the same system can be built by selecting a cheaper model and adding the extra stuff as options, but still totaling less.

Stunning cases and the first builder to offer liquid cooling on desktops or replacable graphics cards in laptops. They even respray mice and keyboards to match their cases.

Oh yeah, the coolest thing; the eyes on them change color to let you know the battery status. Awesome.
He bought an Alienware laptop for the lan party and all the jealous 1337 nerds shunned him like a Mac user.

You can always buy a cheap one and put a really high-end graphics card in later.

s0ck

Possibly a 1337 sock, assumably these boys and girls put their sockets in them.

Replacing numerals for characters is getting old, quick.

IBM

1. International Business Machines
2. Big Blue

The creators of the BIOS system most computers are based around. Unfortunately arrogant enough to publish their BIOS code in a context akin to saying, "Look, this is how it's done. If you do it in a similar way we'll know where you got it from."

Phoenix Technologies where the first to successfully cheat the challenge; one team of scientists simply worked directly on the IBM BIOS and made an exhaustive table of commands and responses, another team who had no knowledge of IBMs existing code were given the table to write a new BIOS.

This is how IBM lost their monopoly on PC design, how the first buyers of Phoenix BIOS, Compaq placed themselves on the market, and generally a nice example of David and Goliath.
The IBM BIOS standard becoming ripped off has both advanced compatibility and held back the market at once, but at least it's basically open-source.

Glamorama

The name of a boutique in Los Angeles that became so infamous that it became a dictionary word, although I've yet to find it in a dictionary.

A book by Bret Easton Ellis about Victor, a delsuional youth who can't work what's going on or where he is. Essentially a made up world of glamor. The title is based around the idea of fake becoming reality, a bit like MTV. Naturally Victor's been on MTV, trouble is he doesn't seem to know when he's on it.

Awesome. Cryptic. Has been called the book of the 90s.
Violent, poetic social commentary from the writer of American Psycho.

jurassic

Quite simply when you pour all of the hard alcohol at a party into one big jug and pass it around.


From Dictionary.com:

Of or belonging to the geologic time, rock series, or sedimentary deposits of the second period of the Mesozoic Era, in which dinosaurs continued to be the dominant land fauna and the earliest birds appeared.
