Pip.io demonstrated that you can't have a company run solely by developers. They launched too early. Pip.io had the chance to overtake Twitter and possibly even Facebook but they got overly excited and released too soon not understanding that once the public has assessed you, it's nearly impossible to get them to give you another chance.

Kicking and Screaming - 1995, dir Noah Baumbach - Jandy's rating: ****1/2 out of ***** [EXPIRING 3/15] [BACK ON 4/2] - http://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie...
"In writer-director Noah Baumbach's take on postcollege angst, Grover (Josh Hamilton) declines to go with his girlfriend (Olivia d'Abo) to Prague and decides to move in with other recent college grads who can't quite break the gravitational pull of campus. Together, the friends wrestle with leaving the past behind as they reluctantly step into adulthood. But they're afraid they'll end up like bartender and professional student Chet (Eric Stoltz)."
- Jandy
from Bookmarklet
This is easily one of the best films I've ever seen about the quarterlife crisis and that sense of post-college drifting. Watching it with a bunch of grad student friends, all of us in the humanities, certainly struck a chord - the kinds of feelings and situations in this film are pretty much exactly why most of us were in grad school. The film expires of Instant next week.
- Jandy
Off streaming now, but Netflix says "coming to streaming on 4/1." So yeah, the expirations probably seem worse than they are - stuff seems to come back a lot. Interestingly, this is Criterion, which means they're still making deals at some level with Netflix.

Bike the Vote! LA City Council Elections are March 8th « LA County Bicycle Coalition www.la-bike.org - http://lacbc.wordpress.com/2011...
"Tuesday, March 8th is Election Day in the City of Los Angeles, and in all even-numbered council districts folks have been busy campaigning. In order to learn where each candidate stands on bicycle issues, we sent a survey out to all of the candidates. Our goal with the survey was to not only provide information to the voting and bicycling public, but to help educate the candidates about some of the issues we have in the city regarding bicycles. This also provides a tool that allows us, as a community, to hold them accountable if they’re elected. We received responses from several of the candidates, but unfortunately, not all candidates responded as we had hoped. We realize that this low response rate means that we have lot of work to do to better educate and engage the candidates about the importance of biking (and walking) in order to make this a more effective tool for future elections in the City of LA and around the county. We hope that by doing candidate surveys, we can change...

I think expecting 128 GB of storage or a retina display is a bit much given there's no change in price between the iPad 1 and 2, and it's still cheaper than a lot of its competitors, but I would be surprised if they really did stick to 256 MB of RAM.
- Victor Ganata
The expectation is that the A5 has 512MB RAM. I don't think it's an exact apples to apples comparison with an android device though...

I don't think anybody knows how much RAM it has yet.

This is true, Rodfather...because no one as yet has been brave enough to shell out $500 a pop to tear it apart yet. ;)

I'm sure iFixit will take care of that soon.
- Rodfather
Yep. :)
- Melanie Reed
Victor - yes, expecting it to sell at the same price point with 128 gigs of storage would be kind of silly; but that doesn't mean Apple couldn't have announced a 128 gig model for, say, $100 more than the current model. Regarding the retina display, didn't the iPhone 4 have the same price as the iPhone 3GS did when it was released?
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
LolCurtz -that's true, the iPhone 4 did cost as much as the iPhone 3GS, but what I was thinking was that they probably haven't figured out how to make larger high resolution displays for relatively cheap. Same thing with 128 GB of storage, really. It's not super cheap yet, and would probably bump the price by way more than $100
- Victor Ganata
Victor - a 64 gigabyte SD memory card retails for around $125-175. I'm sure Apple could get their hands on something similar for a fraction of that price, meaning they could easily double the storage to 128 gigs without needing to increase the price of the device by more than $100. Heck, if they were to make the stupid things compatible with SD cards, we could all have an extra 64 gigs of space for little more than $100 extra.
- DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
SD cards and flash storage not the same. SD cards aren't meant to act like hard drives.
- Rodfather
That would be true if the iPad used SD cards for storage, but they don't, and switching to a cheaper storage technology than what they do use would probably have an impact on performance and battery life.
- Victor Ganata
Even on an old not-quite smart phone in 2007, I could tell a huge difference in access time when trying to run a J2ME app from an SD card vs internal storage. Maybe SD cards are much better now, but I would wager there's a reason why a 128 GB SSD is much more expensive than a 128 GB SD card

SD card write speed is very slow. A class 10 SDHC card writes at 10MB/s. It uses a fairly simple controller compared to SSD's.

Not sure why anyone was seriously thinking Apple would dramatically increase the screen resolution with a 'retina' display. The amount of video processing horsepower and increased power consumption to drive a 1920x1280 or 2048x1536, which are even multiples of the ipnone4 and ipad1 screen resolutions, would be ginormous for a portable device.

Is Borders Closing a Store Near You? Here’s the Full List - Deal Journal - WSJ - http://blogs.wsj.com/deals...
Alfredo 亜瑠布れっど, Mona Nomura, Amani and 13 other people liked this
"Borders filed for bankruptcy protection this morning, and said it will close at least 200 stores, plus the option for about 75 more — or about 30% of the company’s total. The list of store closures includes locations from Alaska to Florida, to Borders’ home state of Michigan. In a court filing, an adviser for Borders said the stores slated for closure, plus others, are costing Borders about $2 million a week in losses."
- Morton Fox
from Bookmarklet
Bummer, we are losing both of our Border's stores, and as Brick and Mortar stores go I always liked them. Often for date night, we would just go there for part of the evening and read.
- RAPatton
I'm actually surprised we're not losing ours.
- Jennifer Dittrich
The one in downtown Seattle is staying open, which is unsurprising: it's always packed.
- Akiva
Looks like Colorado is losing several stores but ours is safe
- Elena
Huh. Both of the stores in SA are being kept, but Austin is losing three.
- Steven Perez
The closest one to me closed a while ago.
- John (bird whisperer)
There's a big one here in New Orleans on St. Charles in what probably used to be a nice home with columns a la The White House. And yep, it's closing.
- Derrick
The one in Alameda, CA is closing.
- Fish Are LIES
All of ours are closing except one over 10 miles away in a direction we never go. :( Kinda irritating that last week they were hard selling us to upgrade to the Borders Plus thing.
- Pixie
Sadly, yes, right after the Christmas season for us here.
- Melanie Reed
Looks like the ones I generally go to are safe; still bummed that the B&N across the street from me closed at the end of last year.
- Jandy
I liked Borders. B&N I could live without. Unhelpful. Predatory practices on students in their University partnerships
- Melanie Reed
Borders is better for buying. B&N is better for sitting and reading (comfier chairs).
- Jandy
The ones in Emeryville and Palo Alto are staying open. I prefer B&N to Borders anyway. The selection at B&N appears to be by intelligent people (or maybe algorithms), at Borders it seems thrown together by people who don't know what they're doing.
- Ruchira S. Datta
They are closing the one on St Charles Ave in NOLA too http://blog.nola.com/interac... They just built that place! What a bummer.
- RAPatton
Interesting, Ruchira - I've had the opposite experience. If I'm looking for something in particular and it isn't on the best-seller list, chances are much higher that Borders will have it. Seems like Borders tends to buy fewer copies of more stuff and B&N buys more copies of less stuff. I used to hit Borders all the time to get lit-crit books for school, and B&N never had anything beyond Harold Bloom. Might depend on your field, though, I guess.
- Jandy
Aw crap, the one around me is closing. The one near my parent's isn't though.
- Heather
Jandy, same here. Maybe its location specific, Ruchira
- Melanie Reed
Boo :( The closest one to me is closing. I admit I go to B&N more but it was always nice to know there was another choice
- Tamara
Melanie & Jandy, that could very well be.

I'm going with and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly & Metropolitan, but also reinstating my Renoir autorecord wishlist to catch Grand Illusion. Watched Red last night (really good)... now have to see Blue and White... oh, and The Double Life of Veronique.
- Tinfoil 2.0
I'm going Casablanca (shhhhhh) and Au Revoir this week. still have others on the DVR from last week.
- Amani
Glad you liked Red, LogEx. Definitely go for Veronique next - it also stars Irene Jacob. White is my least favorite of the Three Colors trilogy, but it's still good. Blue took some time to simmer in my head before I warmed to it, but it's definitely up there now. If you liked Red, I don't think you'll be disappointed with Diving Bell, either - kind of a similar feel between Kieslowski and Schnabel. Amani, both good choices. :)

I need to see this again. Apparently I didn't like it as much as everyone else.
- Derrick
It's one of those films you have to see a few times to really get.
- #cryptic
I've only seen it once, went in blind, and had no idea what it was about. I couldn't get into the film because I was annoyed (distracted?) by the narrative structure of the film. Looking forward to a re-watch.
- Derrick
The first time I saw it, I started about 30 minutes into it, and was completely confused. On a re-watch, I think I got it. I'd like to see it again, though.
- Ha3rvey #teamMonique
I dove in blind. Watched it on Netflix. I liked it. Kept my attention. I did NOT feel cheated when it was done, which is usually how I feel about most movies these days. LOL.

I love this movie. I hope it gets re-released in my area.
- Anne Bouey
"What would you say instead, John?" I've always called it "a v-shaped movie." (Think about the color scenes vs. the B&W scenes, and the 'final' scene.') Much more, and we gets spoilery.
- John Craft
Yeah, that's what I meant. :p You can describe the structure more accurately than "backwards" but not without getting spoilery. Telling someone who hasn't seen it that it's "v-shaped" is not as useful in getting the general idea of the film across as "backwards".
