Awesome read on the story. Superboy Prime is from our world, so he represents the reader, angry that the writers keep messing with the characters.

Yahoo! Photos
I check Yahoo!’s “Most Emailed Photos” page once a day. What I love about it is the great combination of things you’ll get. Usually there’s:
Something from the news, maybe a photo of some soldiers or a senator
A celebrity shot of some kind, maybe Brat Pitt
A woman in some stay of undress, either a bikini shot, or a lingerie show, or a model
Something grotesque,...

Apple released Mac OS 10.4.7 yesterday. Why do I write about a software update? One magical little fix: adding trackpad right-clicking1 to MacBook Pros and recent PowerBooks.
The whole “one-button mouse” thing is one of the topics that people like to trash Apple for. Really you don’t think much of it once you’re used to using a Mac (or, like most, you just get a...

They’re lowering the price of Library (a fun app) every week by $5 until they sell a certain number of copies. The longer you wait, the cheaper it’ll be, unless they’ve “sold out” and the price goes back up to normal.

Toward a Future of Movie Downloads
I keep seeing stories about how Apple is getting ready to offer movie downloads through iTunes. The story’s been the same for months: Steve Jobs wants you to be able to buy movies, wants them all the cost the same price. The studios want you to only be able to rent them, and want to be able to charge more for certain movies. Maybe Apple’s making headway?
I’ve been thinking...

Millions
Watched Millions last night, which I’d been wanting to see since it came out but had just never gotten around to it. Danny Boyle is a director who maybe doesn’t get enough auteur credit, even though he’s never made a movie I didn’t love (well, I haven’t seen The Beach, so I can’t say that for sure). Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary, 28 Days...

52 Covers
I’ve really started to get into DC’s 52. Actually, I’m very relieved that the concept is working as well as it is. Putting out a book every single week can’t be easy, and getting all the different artists’ work to fit together and still make the story work is impressive. Also, you have to admire DC’s guts on this one, putting out a weekly book whose very premise...

Spoiler of the Week: Spider-Man
This week’s spoiler award is a tie, going to assholes The New York Post and Howard Sterne, for yesterday spoiling the ending of Marvel’s Civil War 2 on the day it came out. Special mention goes to the Post for actually publishing the last page of the book in their story. Having read the issue now (and having been warned of the spoilers in time), I can say that the ending is a big...
