Maybe Pete's Dragon can finally get some tail.

Ooh, totally. The idea was fun, but it just d...r...a...g...g...e...d. Cutting the running time in half wouldn't hurt it a bit.

Actually, what should die is this 3D fad. Let it gracefully retire with Sensurround and Smell-o-Vision.

"There are building codes that dictate the direction of swing of a door. They can not open out. "

For something a bit geekier, this outfit could be turned into a Star Trek TOS-style computer.

Or how about just smarter contractors who design public restroom layouts so that the doors always open *out*, rather than in?

I'm assuming this, but thought I'd get clarification: CrashPlan does NOT create a bootable backup, correct? You just point it at folders and it grabs whatever's in there, saving either locally or online?

We're still going. No real vacation for me since 2007, so it's the Turks and Caicos or bust.

I hope the investors kept the receipt for their little $41M spend.

Thanks for the heads up — just added it to our Queue. :)

Hmmm. My wife's original iPhone is showing its age, and I was hoping to swap it out in June. If this means September, that's pushing it out quite a bit.

From my experience, recruiters. I don't often get hit with random requests that just seem to be out to gather up resumes. In the vast majority of cases, they're real folks working for real companies (including Amazon last year, funny enough), looking to fill real positions.

I probably get pinged by a recruiter via LinkedIn at least once a month with a quality opportunity. I'm happy where I am right now, but It's definitely a worthwhile tool, IMO.

It's safe to say they probably do something similar to what Microsoft does: shuttle you around to multiple folks for back-to-back 1-hour interviews, then a half-casual lunch with a couple of folks who interview you while you try to eat, then back to a few more 1-hour interviews. MS interviews start around 9am usually,…

Yeah, I'm with you there. Heck, nearly every single movie made after 1999 was affected in some way by The Matrix, and it got kicked to the curb in Round One, too.

I really couldn't look at that matchup from a, "Which is the better movie?" direction. Both are cinematic game-changers, no doubt. And you're right that Star Wars shows its age with every subsequent watch while Alien is creepy-awesome every time, but Star Wars single-handedly transformed sci-fi cinema.

Fantastic. Absolutely.

Indeed. Or how about my own online Bill Pay through my bank? I don't think I need to spread my personal financial info around any more than it probably already is.

Quick FYI: It looks like Sparrow Lite is still at version 1.0, and only supports Gmail (No general IMAP support). So if you want to try before you buy, you'll only be able to test it with a Gmail account.

"In any case, there goes my theory of Gordon-Levitt playing Kite Man."
