Comment Re:convenience over quality (Score 1) 360

When I watched Arrested Development on Netflix, you could still see blue man hand-prints all over everything. Carl Weathers was still trying to make a soup out table scraps. Everyone on the show at some point or another still made a huge mistake. Lucille wasn't making fun of the Japanese investors. She was just out of vodka. The plot and the jokes were all present and accounted for. I thought the quality was very much all there.

Comment Re:AT&T (Score 5, Interesting) 201

So a customer asks to have their service disconnected and AT&T not only does that but also waives the early termination fee? Yeah, what a "shit" move. I hope no other companies out there respond to customer complaints by doing what the customer asks and then some. I'd much rather spend half an hour while they transfer me to someone else to try to talk me out of what I specifically asked for.

Comment Re:Reminds me of Moon (Score 2) 422

I liked Moon so much because it took what is a somewhat overused plot device in science fiction and turned it on its head by making a character study out of it. The meat of the story isn't the discovery of the clones. It's how Rockwell's characters react to that information. CGI or not was irrelevant. I wasn't really paying attention.

That's my take on it. I never really paid much attention to OS X until I installed it on my laptop just for fun. I kind of liked it and I got a kick out of the idea that it's really just an updated NextStep machine. That got me looking at XCode and iOS development. I'm developing a very simple card game now. I doubt it will sell well if at all but I'll fork over the $100 for the license and the $200 for an iPod Touch to test on once I get to that point. At worst case, I picked up a new and interesting language on the descendant of a platform I've always had a soft-spot for. At best case, I also make some cash on the side.
