Need to get a few of these off my chest:
- Haven’t done a hybrid car story here in a long time, but surely a Porsche hybrid calls for attention!
- Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” movie to be a 3D motion capture CGI film? Sure, why not? Like the initial reports that Roland Emmerich was directing it didn’t lower our expectations far enough…
- As a college Ultimate player, it’s very sad to see the guy who created the frisbee passed away recently.
- The Worst Apple Products of All Time. Includes the phone, the gaming console, and the iPod Hi-Fi.
- The military has been monitoring various social media to get ideas for where to help in Haiti. Interesting.
- Headline writers get it wrong sometimes. John McIntyre has some hilarious recent examples. Love his copy-writing blog.
- The first cowboy to draw loses. Here’s why.
- What is TiVo planning to unveil in March?
- Dear Amazon — I’ll take a free Kindle, too. I’ll subscribe to Prime, I promise. Thanks!
- Hilarious bit of SEO: A story about Facebook logging-in techniques gets higher rankings on Google than your actual Facebook log-in page. Confusion ensues from the clueless who use Google to go everywhere. Seriously, there are still people who type Facebook into Google to go there, instead of just typing Facebook.com. Ugh
- Rumor: Hulu to move away from Flash for iPad? Oooh, Adobe would not like that.
- Shocking: Higher song prices lead to fewer downloads. Does the music industry have any feet left to shoot itself in?
- I think I might still be drooling over the Canon T2i. And it’s only the entry level camera. This is nuts.
Uhg…everytime I hear a story about “3D motion capture” I roll my eyes. Thanks for the useless hysteria, James Cameron! Where was all this when Lucas crapped out the new trilogy? The only reason anyone cares is because Avatar made more money than Scrooge McDuck.
So, naturally, anyone making a movie has to incorporate 3D and motion capture. Don’t even get me started on the glasses. Sure, it’s nice and all that, but studios are going out of their way to try to shoe horn 3D in existing projects, or flat out cancel and restart films to get it in there…i’m looking at you, Sony and you too Michael Bay!
Ooops…all of a sudden i’m sounding kinda cranky. I think I need a nap.
