did you ever work out how to alt-tab in Leopard and get it to work? Pisses me off too. - Cameron Reilly

not thinking of Cmd Tab by any chance? - randulo

"Also, something interesting to note - at least over half of the film is non-English. IB plays with the idea of language confusion and barriers during WWII, and really nails that atmosphere in this flick. Huge scenes are played out in both French, German and English, and it really shows the testament of QT's abilities that these actors are always convincing, no matter what dialect. There's a scene midway in the film (the bar scene for those who have read it) probably the best part of the whole film, that's done almost entirely in French and German - you will be in awe with just how masterful the acting is. It really is outstanding. (Side Note: The Nazis, all of them portrayed in the film, are portrayed so perfectly I wonder just how much of it is actual historical research or QT's wild imagination...you will laugh and be shocked at the same time)." - ben barren from Bookmarklet

Great to hear some positive reviews! Quentin has never let me down in the past and so he had my full confidence. - Cameron Reilly

"The performances are superb across-the-board. Pitt is hilarious throughout, lending his lines that air of cocky movie-star insouciance that was a touchstone of his turns in the Ocean’s movies. But the standouts for me were Michael Fassbender, who deserves to become a star on the basis of his turn as British officer Lt. Archie Hicox, and Christoph Waltz, as the movie’s villain, Col. Hans Landa, aka The Jew Hunter. A complex creation, refined, calculating and yet utterly monstrous when the time comes, Landa was the role that Tarantino struggled to fill, so much so that he might have had to pass on making the movie had he not filled it. But in Waltz, he’s found gold. He may look like an evil Rob Brydon, but the Austrian actor is fantastic: oleaginous, chilling and often devilishly charming. He may be a shoo-in for a Best Supporting Oscar nom, and even though it’s mighty early yet, he could become the first actor to win for a Tarantino film." - ben barren from Bookmarklet

"The Future The first and most dramatic change is the concept of Social News. Social news is quickly taking over our need for staying up-to-date with what goes on in the world. News is no longer being reported by journalists, now it comes from everyone. And it is being reported directly from the source to you - bypassing the traditional media channels." - A.T. from Bookmarklet

"Posters have recently appeared in London Underground tube stations advertising Israel as a tourist destination. The map on the advert depicts Israel as incorporating the West Bank and East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip and the Golan Heights. Please write to London Underground, the Advertising Standards Agency and CBS Outdoors – the company which manages the poster sites – asking for the removal of these posters, which deliberately deny the existence of Palestine." - joneilortiz from Bookmarklet

"The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects." - Mona Nomura

Kevin Fox -- since there has been so much public controversy and disbelief about the 9/11 official story, one would have expected the government to gather together every scrap of information it could from these interrogations to support that story. There has been nothing. Zilch. In fact, the records of the interrogations seem to be disappearing. Most of us haven't just fallen off the turnip truck, right? - Sean McBride

Any other perspectives? - Rob Schieber

al jazeera is a very good news organization. - Cee Bee

I have a question about this -- first -- the obvious one -- do we need a "viable IM-style platform" when we already have many? But that's just the obvious one. Here's what's been puzzling me. Since FF has a realtime bridge to Twitter, and FF has a realtime API, doesn't that give you a realtime API for Twitter? I have an app here that gives me realtime updates for selected people I follow. It's really coooool. Couldn't do it without the realtime API in FF. - Dave Winer

twitter and these programs is a privilage, not a right. but regardless of whether igor deserves to be banned for mass spamming people his links daily, do you really believe what he is posting in his blog? for real? - Terry O'Fee

Kind of sad. If they were bigger, they could just get a bailout or sue their customers or something :) - Paul Buchheit

@Richard: that was exactly what I was referring to, thanks! ("There has always been Pearl Jam" - now this is just... cruel.) - dario

one thing for sure, the McCain Digg brigade will try its hardest to bury this - Duncan Riley
