American animation has greatly benefited from Asian influences. Martial arts and Samurai cinema and Japanese Anime have all had beneficial influences on storytelling, art styles and settings.

Two of the best American animated series of the past several years have been Avatar: the Last Airbender and Samurai Jack.

The two shows have a great deal in common; in each, a powerful warrior finds themselves lost in time, and must struggle against a mighty enemy to set right the world. Plus Mako.

In Avatar, the hero is Aang, the Avatar who possesses the power to master all four elemental martial arts styles. After being lost for a century, he returns to the world to find that the Fire Nation has struck out on a war of conquest. Samurai Jack's eponymous hero has been thrown forward through time by Aku, an evil sorcerer who has conquered the world in his absence.

Each of these mighty warriors strives to bring order to a chaotic world, but in the cruel arena of Hoo'd Win, only one will be victorious!

I'll suppose that [livejournal.com profile] absinthe_dot_ca or [livejournal.com profile] kallisti might know more about this than I, but it seems interesting. Apparently, a hacking tool exists that will allow access to Gmail accounts.

This glitch can apparently be avoided by following these steps:

Simply log into GMail, and click on the Settings link over in the top right corner. At the bottom of this screen is a section labeled 'Browser Connection', which by default is set to 'Don't always use https'. Change this to 'Always use https', then click the "Save changes" button directly below. That 'should' keep you safe from people using this fascinating new toy."


Hey, I dunno if this is legit or horseshit, but I figure it's hard to be too cautious. Unless you're the DHS, in which case chilling the fuck out might be a good idea.
