Best Picture: Drama
Most Underrated Movie
Worst Movie
Best Leading Male Character
Best Supporting Male Character
Best Leading Female Character
Best Supporting Female Character

AOL Time Warner owns the copyright of “Happy...
ohyeahfacts:
For this reason movies often use different songs (which are not in copyright or are owned by the studio) for birthday scenes. AOL Time Warner earns over $2 million per year from royalties for the song.

So did Time Warner or Aol. get the rights with their recent split?

The Hue Center - Brand New →
I actually rather enjoy this identity for The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. It’s a bit overwhelming at first but I really like the possibilites it has. The website navigation is quite exciting and some of the print applications, even the the 3D sign is pretty eye-catching too. It’s nice to see an organization try something bold like this.
I’m sitting at McDonald’s eating breakfast and taking advantage of the free wifi they provide right now. I can’t help but overhear the group of old guys in the corner talking about the weather and “green” energy. I want to but in so bad and correct them when they spew out “facts.” It’s no wonder things don’t get done in this country when we let...

Neurons have been created directly from skin cells for the first time, in a remarkable study that suggests that our biological makeup is far more versatile than previously thought.
I screwed up Mail
With the click of a button I managed to screw up my Gmail account in Apple Mail. That sucks because it’s the account I use for freelance and job searches.
It gets worse… I think I’ve fixed it mostly but in the process I came across a bunch of old messages. At some point in October I had gotten a response about a Jr. Designer position at Converse. I apparently made it to a...

This pretty much sums up my less than stellar impressions of the iPad so go read it and save me some typing. There wasn’t even “one more thing!” Lame, and no Verizon iPhone makes it even lamer.

Verizon timing a "kick off" with Apple's event |... →
Ok I’m probably getting my hopes up way too high but there certainly is a lot of these rumors and lots of “evidence” that it could be happening. If this is just for the tablet and not the iPhone too I might cry. Only a couple more days and we’ll know I guess.

Tempting, but I think I saw a remote starter system for around $50 at Target and I wouldn’t need to worry about someone else accidentally calling and my car starting.

Am I the only one who thinks this is a HUGE mistake? I mean seriously Apple… Microsoft? On an iPhone? What the hell is happening to the world?
I get that Google is competition, but I also get that your arch rival since forever (or at least since they started stealing everything in the 80s) is Microsoft. Let me put it in an equation for you Apple:

Yes folks — the rumors are true. Apple is holding an event on January 27th to show off something the company is calling their “latest creation.” Read more at Engadget!
I know everyone thinks this is the iSlate tablet (which is very likely) but I’m hoping that the one more thing is a Verizon iPhone. Please, please, please give me an iPhone on the best network around and...

The Results are In
After some crazy debate and unorganized nominating and voting my friends and I completed our top of the year and decade lists. I posted the categories a few days ago but we’ve since added a few. I’m not particularly sure that this list is a good reflection of my opinions so I’ll add my own thoughts in a later post.
