A lot of the plot would have to change in "Friends" if cellphones were as common as they are today. How did we live without them? #fb

Naw, naw, naw...You guys have watched 24 right? If those shows were on today, the same plot points would happen while the character in question either lost their cell phone, forgot it, had a dropped call, there was a miss-communication because of poor reception quality, etc. etc.

Torn between watching The Girl w/ the Dragon Tattoo's original version and waiting for Fincher's version. Haven't read the book. Hrm.

I heard great things about the original.
- Jenica
The original was good. I'm not sure why it needs a remake other than "Americans don't like subtitles."
- Jason P
I've heard good things about the original as well and remakes are eh, but I'm a fan of Fincher as the director and will pretty much see anything he does regardless of the movie, who's in it, etc. Kind of like Hitchcock in that sense.
- Derrick
I'd watch both. The original is excellent, but I think Fincher will bring something new to the material.
- Adam
Fair enough. I just saw a new trailer for the remake and it looks like it's going to be a doozy. Will see if I can track down the original.
- Derrick
I watched the original recently and like it.
- ~Courtney F.
Netflix has the original on streaming.
- Jason P
A buddy of mine just watched it on Netflix and it's what's prompted my interest.
- Derrick
It's on Amazon Prime Instant Video too. I've been seeing it up there but never got around to watching it. I'll check it out.
- Rodfather
I have it queued on Netflix but haven't watched it yet either.
- imabonehead
Almost always the original is better. However, Fincher is something else. I am waiting for Fincher's.
- Jorge Escobar
I'm with Adam, both! I enjoyed the original.
- Stephen Mack
Definitely watch the original before the remake. It's good, just watched it last night.

Sin embargo, no creo que Apple haya "frenado" el iPhone5 para ver qué hacen los demás, no es el estilo de ellos.

Us telling the kids last night that their mom will be moving out (although she will still very much be a part of their lives) was basically the hardest thing ever.

Thanks all. Yesterday the kids left for a camping trip with their mom and uncle. Originally I was going to go too, but we decided some separation would be better. So that's when this whole last-minute Burning Man thing came up. Last night I was alone in the house. Thankfully I had packing for the trip to occupy me, but I was a bit down for a while. Today I'm just moving a mile a minute....

Corporate Tax Holiday in Debt Ceiling Deal: Where's the Uproar? | Rolling Stone Politics | Taibblog | Matt Taibbi on Politics and the Economy - http://www.rollingstone.com/politic...
We’re seriously talking about defaulting on our debt, and cutting Medicare and Social Security, so that Google can keep paying its current 2.4 percent effective tax rate and GE, a company that received a $140 billion bailout en route to worldwide 2010 profits of $14 billion, can not only keep paying no taxes at all , but receive a $3.2 billion tax credit from the federal government. And nobody appears to give a shit. What the hell is wrong with people? Have we all lost our minds?

Smart move if you're relying on packages that are incompatible. Otherwise, upgrading to Lion is a no-brainer.

Indeed I've heard some development issues, like Python stuff. I'm not in a rush to try it, and would rather wait until the software ecosystem catches up.
- Jorge Escobar
Well, it's a give-or-take kind of situation. It's buggy. But it has new features, such as Mission Control, which make it worth it. I've been running it for maybe a month now and have been developing on it like crazy (including some Python stuff) and the only issues I've run into is that Safari 5.1 has a huge memory leak and Lion sometimes has trouble reconnecting to a wireless network...
