The son of Depardieu - Guillaume- plays Marin Marais in this film...In 1995 Depardieu had suffered a motorcycle accident due to a suitcase that fell off a vehicle in front of him. His knee required surgery. In the hospital he contracted a Staphylococcus aureus infection in the knee, which led to an amputation. Guillaume Depardieu died on 13 October 2008, at the Garches hospital, aged 37, after contracting severe viral pneumonia at a filming location in Romania, where he had been working on a new film, L'Enfance d'Icare. - Ksana

384 photos, everyone a master piece. Some of them I have no idea how he did it. Kudos! - See-ming Lee 李思明 SML

"The creator of such timeless masterpieces as Rashomon, Ikiru, Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and High and Low, Akira Kurosawa is one of the most influential and beloved filmmakers who ever lived—and for many the greatest artist the medium has known. Now, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, the Criterion Collection is proud to present this deluxe box set celebrating his astonishing career. Featuring twenty-five of the films he made over the course of his fifty years in movies—from samurai epics to postwar noirs to Shakespeare adaptations—AK 100 is the most complete set of his works ever released in this country, and includes four rare films that have never been available on DVD." - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF from Bookmarklet

wondering why _Ran_ was not included ;c for it's one of Kurosawa's best works. - Adriano

Congratulations! "We are happy to announce that AppJet Inc. has been acquired by Google. The EtherPad team will continue its work on realtime collaboration by joining the Google Wave team." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Andrew: I'm just glad Etherpad (probably following the outcry that their earlier post provoked) made public pads possible again and is to be released as open source for anybody to grab the code and create something out of it. I'm not the slightest concerned about the price at which Etherpad would have been acquired had not Wave existed, it's Google we're talking about here. - lelapin

Of the 3 Google is the only one that doesn't hijack though. - Benjamin Golub

Larch: http://code.google.com/p... tries a lot more than jus those common domains. Anyway the reason I tested this is a lot of people changed to Google or OpenDNS just because it's supposed to be faster. I'll be in SF later this week; I'm guessing it will do much better :) - Benjamin Golub

t contains Freud's remarkable collection of antiquities: Egyptian; Greek; Roman and Oriental. Almost 2,000 items fill cabinets and are ranged on every surface. There are rows of ancient figures on the desk where Freud wrote until the early hours of the morning. The walls are lined with shelves containing Freud's large library. The house is also filled with memories of his daughter, Anna, who lived there for 44 years and continued to develop her pioneering psychoanalytic work, especially with children. It was her wish that the house become a museum to honour her illustrious father. The museum is now being developed as a cultural and Research Centre of outstanding value to the professional community. The Freuds were fortunate to be able to bring all their furniture and household effects to London: there were splendid Biedermeier chests, tables and cupboards, and a fine collection of 18th and 19th century Austrian painted country furniture. Undoubtedly the most famous piece of furniture... more... - Ayse Musal

Has "Adam's Lament" actually been released yet? - Adriano

Not yet, it says : work in progress. - james reilly

"God may have created man in his image, but it seems we return the favour. Believers subconsciously endow God with their own beliefs on controversial issues. "Intuiting God's beliefs on important issues may not produce an independent guide, but may instead serve as an echo chamber to validate and justify one's own beliefs," writes a team led by Nicholas Epley of the University of Chicago in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. ... "The experiments in which we manipulate people's own beliefs are the most compelling evidence we have to show that people's own beliefs influence what they think God believes more substantially than it influences what they think other people believe," says Epley. - james reilly from Bookmarklet

Integrating into Gmail -- never thought of that as a possibility before. - Brian Sullivan

Jérôme, in my view not even email obliges people to respond only to the most recent email in the thread. Maybe Wave should always show a compressed "timeline" view of every event. Perhaps a very zoomed-out icon of the whole wave in the upper-left corner of the wave, showing its blip structure, nesting, etc., with hotspots everywhere there's a change you haven't read yet.

"Unless you’re enrolled at a top university or are an elite member of the science and engineering inner circle, you’re probably left out of most of the exciting research explored by the world’s greatest scientists. But thanks to the Internet, and our list of 100 incredible lectures, you’ve now got access to the cutting edge theories and projects that are changing the world." - Ozgur Uckan from Bookmarklet

"Why support a company that doesn't support what you use?

Hmmm...looks like I'm either into The Men Who Stare at Goats or Pirate Radio, or hitting up the New Beverly's double feature of Kieslowski's White and Red. Couldn't they do Blue and Red? I'm not a fan of White. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

NYT has good coverage http://ff.im/bsXec re Broken Embraces. (And I concur re Kieślowski ;-) - Adriano

Thanks for the link and agreement, Adriano. :) You know what would be awesome? A double feature of Red and The Double Life of Veronique. THAT I'd go see in a heartbeat. Irene Jacob FTW. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

"In November 2002, an obscure Russian mathematician named Grigori Perelman caused a sensation in the mathematical community when he posted the first in a series of papers proving the most famous unsolved problem in topology: the Poincaré conjecture. He caused another sensation four years later when he was awarded the Fields medal - the "mathematics Nobel" - for his work, declined to accept it, and then left mathematics altogether. When last heard of, he was living a reclusive existence at his mother's home in St Petersburg. In Perfect Rigor, Masha Gessen sets out to unravel the mystery of Perelman: what is it that has set him apart from mathematicians who came before him and allowed him to solve one of the most difficult mathematical problems of our time, and what made him become so disillusioned.." - james reilly from Bookmarklet

+1 for also covering the cultural background of 20th-century Russian mathematics. - Adriano

"I don't think Apple realizes how badly the App Store approval process is broken. Or rather, I don't think they realize how much it matters that it's broken. The way Apple runs the App Store has harmed their reputation with programmers more than anything else they've ever done. Their reputation with programmers used to be great. It used to be the most common complaint you heard about Apple was that their fans admired them too uncritically. The App Store has changed that. Now a lot of programmers have started to see Apple as evil. How much of the goodwill Apple once had with programmers have they lost over the App Store? A third? Half? And that's just so far. The App Store is an ongoing karma leak." - Paul Buchheit from Bookmarklet

Graham describes Android as an orphan; I don't think that's the case. It's being actively updated, and evangelized for use in all kinds of devices (not just phones). If anything, I think Google considers Android more strategic than they let on. - Kevin Shaum

"Two Japanese submarines designed to carry bombers to strike U.S. coastal cities in World War II have been found on the seabed off Hawaii. They had been captured by the U.S. Navy when Japan surrendered in 1945 but were sunk deliberately the following year after the Soviet Union demanded access to them. This was because the U.S. had learned a vast amount of information from the submarines and did not want the technological secrets falling into the hands of the Soviets, their former ally." - RAPatton

It is fascinating how they invented this incredibly high-tech submarine aircraft carrier, and the weapon is still basically the same as it was a thousand years ago: catapulting rotting corpses and pest infested rats over the city wall. - Eivind
