* Google's Wave service was named such because that's what communications were called in ''[[Firefly]]''. The crash message is even Wash's infamous line "Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!"

* Programmers love to do this. Examples include:

** [[Plan 9 from Outer Space|Plan 9 From Bell Labs]], the successor to UNIX as Bell Labs' main research OS. Along with Plan 9 From User Space, a port of the main Plan 9 programs to UNIX-like systems. (and yes, userspace actually means something in context)

** The TIFF standard specifies "An arbitrary but carefully chosen number ([[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|42]])."

** Mike Fink Keel Boats transported guests along the Rivers of America until 1997. One boat, the Gullywhumper, is moored as a prop along the rivers.

** There are ''four'' shout-outs to the House of the Future in Innoventions alone.
