Iron Man Armor Now Comes With Proprietary Software

Iron Man! He's not just the kinda guy who saves the world from supervillains and Jeff Bridges with a shaved head anymore! No, now he's the kind of guy who's off crusading against... Linux? Wait, that can't be right. The latest interview promoting movie tie-in comic The Invincible Iron Man seems to suggest a more software-based approach to the character than ever before, however.

Write for io9!

At last, we're ready to bring in some new writers at io9. We're looking for people to fill two roles: entertainment writer and science writer. For the entertainment writer, we want somebody who can cover the entertainment side of science fiction, who has contacts in the scifi film, TV, and/or game industries, and can break news for us. The ideal candidate is a reporter, pounding the pavement and digging up stuff nobody else has — somebody who will go on sets, go to parties and junkets and screenings. We prefer someone who lives in the Los Angeles or New York areas. Must eat, breathe, and live science fiction, and a background in real science would be a bonus. Read on for more details. More »

A Brief History of Reality Distortion Fields, Starring Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs is the first non-science fiction character to possess a reality distortion field (RDF). Apple's MacWorld 2008 conference kicks off tomorrow with a keynote from Jobs, which leaves gadget lovers and iPod fiends white-knuckled on Tuesday morning as news of the next "insanely great" thing trickles out of Moscone Center in San Francisco. Why does this speech cause such furor (and fury) every year? RDF, of course. We've got the scoop on how Jobs came to posses the RDF, and we've got four other famous RDFs from science fiction for you to contemplate as you await the mind-control ray that will emanate from MacWorld tomorrow.
