Link of the Day [7.21.11]

I did purchase Lion last night and currently in the middle of the download. Actually, I’m nowhere near the middle as my pocky, slow-ass DSL will take a few days to pull in the full 3+ GB file. That’s one strike against it. Only when the US internet speeds are decent will digital downloads be awesome.

Anyhow, if it’s a new version of OS X, then it’s time for the Ars Technica data dump/review. If you played around with Lion, read it and see if it matches your experience. If you haven’t, read it and see if it gets you to upgrade.

Now back to my download…. {I’ll see you in a couple of days…}

Link of the Day [6.27.11]

Jim Emerson blogs about the warning affixed to a movie theatre's screening of Terence Malick's "The Tree of Life." It's not like the MPAA's warnings of violence and sex, but a warning that the film is arty. It may be too arty for some folks. I figure that if you are making the choice to watch "The Tree of Life" then you already know what you're getting into. It's Malick. You should know by now his M.O. His movies are what they are.That being said, I wish there was a warning for Bad Teacher. To wit: "Warning: Watching Bad Teacher has been known to cause cancer in lab rats."http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/2011/06/detour_theres_an_arty_road_ahe.html
