Blade Runner movie?

[lumpynose]

Am I the only one who sees a connection between the name of the Nexus 7 and Blade Runner? Or is this connection well known?

Fairly common but only with the older crowd or the cult following. I do hope our Nexus-7 last longer than the Nexus-6 with the 4 year life span.

Me because I didn't love the movie on release.

Mind sharing the connection? It's been a long time since I seen that movie and don't remember much about it

Connection: The replicants were Nexus6.

It actually goes all the way back to the Philip K. Dick book. The androids ("Replicants" in the movie) were of the Nexus 6 product line.

Dick's daughter threatened a lawsuit back when the original Nexus devices were announced, butI never heard how it turne dout.

I tried posting an answer, but I would guess that using the author's name flagged the post for Moderator review. :-\ Please stand by...

Heh, in 4 years these things will be the tablet version of a door stop; i.e., long in the tooth and technically geriatric.

Ya, in only 7 years we will be in Blade Runner... it was suppose to have taken place in Nov 2019.

I'm usually very happy if a PC lasts 4-5 years.

If they still work, they'll be a good hand-me-down in 2-3 years
No. Even in 4 years I don't think my grandparents will be using a Nexus 7 tablet.

Although grandma does have a Kindle e-reader now. So maybe..........
