His CPU is a neural net processor, a learning computer. You honestly have no idea how many times I’ve seen that movie. Let’s just say the number of times was a lot. A lot of times. Google is definitely trying to buy part of the air or the waves or the bleep-bloops or something. Google’s open mobile handset os platform strategic initiative alliance (they should have called it GOMHOPSIA), dubbed Android, is poised to create a very attractive, very open alternative to Windows Mobile 6 (they should call it Windows Mobile Sux… are ya’ with me? Ha ha… right?) and the iPhone. One speculation is that they are bidding on the 700mhz squiggly lines because they intend to go forward WITHOUT a cell phone carrier to partner with. How rad would that be? Super rad. I hope they don’t even charge for cell service and instead Android listens to your calls and targets ads to you based on what you talked about that day. Like if you have a 2 hour break up call with your girlfriend, Android can txt msg you with alcohol and hooker ads. If you were about to say “Super Rad,” we are on the same page. If Google does end up building a real android, I hope it comes out more like Data than Lore. Lore was intensely clever but ultimately evil. Data played the violin and loved his cat. He wasn’t that great of a whistler but he never fed a colony to a space dwelling entity, did he? I’m sure Dr. Soong’s Christmas family newsletters were primarily full of Data related news.
The Soongs have had a blessed year. Data received another commendation from Starfleet this year. He was promoted to Commander, he mastered over 600 styles of classical painting, learned to dream, created a daughter, made sweet love to a lesbian security officer and bested evil holodeck characters on 4 separate occasions. Lore killed a planet. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Here’s the webcomic remix blank
Have fun with it and email your entries to comics(at)hijinksensue(dot)com before Monday.
I only got 1 entry for the Doug Morris comic remix. If anyone else wants to submit one, let me know and I will hold off on posting it. Here’s the blank again.
LOL! Where do I sign up for our new overlords?
@Grimm
You’re already signed up. You just wont know it until it’s too late.
“Canada is basically western France. They think we’re total D-Bags.”
Well… um… I’m from Canada and I’d like to say…
Maybe…
Well, get rid of Bush and we’ll talk. 😛
@Kathleen
No problem. Say what you feel. We’re the playground bully of the entire world. I’d say “we” were trying to get rid of Bush but “we” don’t exist as this nation is extremely divide, and concerned citizens of voting age THAT ACTUALLY VOTE are in the vast minority.
I remember 2004. Its like if someone told you that you JUST beat cancer and you had the option of having it again or getting a puppy. Like a dumbass you picked the cancer. 4 years later you’re wondering why you didn’t take the puppy.

That made my week.
Today’s blog headline is funnier than the comic, and I don’t mean the comic isn’t funny…
“Come with me if you want to love” is just THAT funny.
@mikey
Originally that line was the last thing Eli-nator says in panel 4, but i thought that was giving it away for free.
Also, the best part about it is the line originated when Josh was telling me about the Sarah Connor show a few months ago and I said it should have a theme from the guy that did the Enterprise song.
“Come with me if you want to love” was the title.
Don’t forget Lore’s alliance with the rebel Borg.
@Spacetime
Forget?! Forget Hugh!? No way, man.
That was one of the most satisfying cliffhanger two-parters ever. Evil Data jonesing for more emotion-juice! That was spectacular television.
I think Data is my all-time favorite Star Trek character.
As for the Google agenda, I don’t know about that. They can release a phone on the 850/900/1800/1900/2100 (current global) frequencies without specifying a carrier. Plus, it would be completely moronic to release a phone on a frequency that no other carrier is using, as it would require Google to build a brand new network – globally, if they’re so inclined – and their customers could never be given the option to roam on other networks.
“It’s not a tooma.” Wrong movie, but still classic.
@Dean
If anyone can build a nationwide network its the Goog. They gots the cash. Im expecting it to be something very different. Like no cellular. Maybe all-wifi in selected markets. Who knows.

I believe it was Eli who told me a few months ago that there was no point in voting since we live in a red state. I told him that maybe if less people here thought that way it wouldn’t BE a red state. I’m still gonna vote regardless (although it may be for Ron Paul running as an independent :-s
Man … how did we go from a Terminator spoof to politics anyhow?
@Mark
How did we go from a Google spoof to a terminator spoof?
Since you are surprisingly reading my comments on such ancient fare, I decided to let you know of my continuing progress through your archives. Excellence throughout, I am enjoying it greatly!!
i dont have time to respond to all the comments but I do (for now) read almost all of them. Glad you are having fun.
Just discovered HE yesterday, from an ad link on cad-comic for an HE t-shirt; joel, if you ever make it back this far in the archives again, nice work. I loved almost all of the comics so far, and strongly liked the rest.
Hope you continue to enjoy your archive binge. Thanks!
