Republic

When Gatecrasher was cool, it was called Republic.

Had the funky postcode of S1 1DJ.
Shall we go to Republic? At least the beers cool.

Intel

Who gives about micro-electronics when the first tv ad this company made had a bus load of guys in pastel colored NBAC suits who'd leap out and start doing bad dance moves any where, any time, with no warning?

That's some shit to live up to, AMD.
Hyperthreading 64 bit OS compatible on die first level cache in a super special heat transferring package still doesn't mean much when it's running Windows, m'lad.

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.

AOL

Unsolicited provider of free coasters and provider of a web browser that actually uses custom compression to fuck your images right up, server side.

God Bless a company that thinks it can make a profit by selling to the nïave, uninitiated and hungry for tech support.
In the future all companies that eat up lame customers will be called doing an AOL.

Using AOL is exactly the same as buying something from proactive telemarketers.

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.

Pixies

One of Nirvana's quoted influences, having a similar self destructive, downbeat feel that personifed the Grunge movement in the early 90s. The Pixies were a little more colorful and violent sounding than Nirvana and had a good female vocalist on some tracks.

The Pixies are Surfer Rock, but their style is from Psychedelic to Punk to New Wave
The song "Where is My Mind" at the end of Fightclub re-kindled some interest in their style.
