The Omnipotent, Omniscient & Ubiquitous Google Continues To Up Ante
2009-12-15 16:11:00 'To Google' has become the universal generic term, meaning "to search." In the last 70 days there has been 38 new products added to the Search King's arsenal of tools.

Today, with approximately 70 percent domination of the global search market, the omnipotent, omniscient, omnivorous and ubiquitous Google keeps upping the ante to stay on top of the search engine game.

Tweets of Shame Can Taint Real-Time Search
2009-12-14 15:06:00 Before social networking, hacking was confined to one's personal computer. Now in addition to having your hardware violated, social media hacking is attacking one's personal dignity and broadcasting it to the world.

Are Facebook Fan Pages, 'The Emperor Has No Clothes'?
2009-12-12 16:08:00 I'm told daily that its imperative that I set up a fan page on Facebook. Brands of all sizes have done so. Like Twitter, I know the number of one's followers can assist in spreading one's message virally. But isn't a fan page really just a puffed-up outlet for ego gratification and an opportunity to dupe ourselves and the public into believing that we get something out of renting a billboard on Facebook?

The first reaction? AVATAR IS THE BEST FILM EVER MADE! EVER!!!!!Or at least the best film ever made featuring "unobtainium." The movie was screened here in Chicago and I was in attendance.

2009-12-04 18:30:00 ShareToday's Fangirl Friday contribution comes from the mysterious Angie Em who took a look in the geek-film video bin and gives us a review of Seth Rogen's Observe and Report:To appreciate Observe and Report for what it is, you must first understand what it is not.It's not the feel-good "guy gets girl" flick that the sedated moviegoer might expect, and Seth Rogen is not portraying your typical stocky-yet-endearing everyman. As Ronnie Barnhardt, a bipolar mall security guard on a tireless quest of self-fulfillment, Rogen pushes the modern limits of manic expectations and delusions of grandeur.Seth Rogen & Anna FarisRather than introducing us to our protagonist upfront, the film's plot begins suddenly when a mysterious flasher is spotted terrorizing mall...

Gnome is Rapidly Becoming My Least Favorite Desktop
2009-10-11 21:59:00 Part of my motivation when I made the big switch from Slackware to Ubuntu was a desire to step out of my comfort zone and give something different a try. And while I've warmed up to Ubuntu - heck, I even like it at times! - I'm still cold on Gnome. For reasons like this: Such a simple thing! I want to hit F11 and have Emacs open. Gnome's set-up already has slots for starting web browser and terminal, so I'm able to have half of the default key scheme I've had for going on a decade now. F12 starts gnome-terminal and F10 starts Firefox, leaving the F11 key dead like a missing tooth. As you might guess at this point in the whine, try it yourself. No emacs! Changing the command to just plain 'emacs' doesn't work. Restarting Gnome doesn't work. Disabling every single other keyboard shortcut doesn't work. For the record, 'F9' doesn't launch ABIWord, either (you can see I tried that in the screenshot, too), but one problem at a time. Googling gets you a recommendation of...

More Vinegar than Wine? Bad Reviews continue to 'haunt' The Vintner's Luck!
2009-10-06 11:49:00 I find Jeremie Renier to be a competent, talented and dedicated actor - I have the same sentiment when it comes to French mega-star Gaspard Ulliel. But in Niki Caro's The Vintner's Luck, I can't help but feel that both actors' 'sentiments', hard work and dedication to their characters were irrelevant and therefore immaterial because the filmmaker failed to transfer the essense of Elizabeth Knox's story into the big screen. - - -- - - Says INDIEWire: Can you say, “Haaawwwwwwtt??” French actors Jeremie Renier and Gaspard Ulliel found themselves in a production of New Zealand director Niki Caro’s (“Wale Rider”) latest, “The Vintner’s Luck,” which is screening in the Special Presentations section of TIFF.- - -Ulliel plays an Angel who sort of "guides" Renier's character, a struggling wine grower in early 19th century rural France. Their relationship is complicated, and at one point their quasi-sexual (the one has wings being an Angel and all...) fly-aro...

Similarly isn't it daunting to think that in a little over 3 years the microblogging darling of the investment world recently valued at one billion dollars could possibly be supplanted by a location-based game, the likes of Foursquare? Yet, there are those that have jumped on that band wagon.
