I want secrutz too!

If Apple lose, then Microsoft should be worried...

Who cares about windows or Microsoft anymore? Their time has come, and gone...

Is it really surprising that it seems implausible to a man who doesn't even understand the concept of "peak speed"?

As Kerry O'Brien discovered on Lateline the other night, Tony Abbott is "no techno-head", "no Bill Gates".

How scary all this new fangled techno-babble must seem when running for PM and, by his own admission on national tv (another marvel of technology) Tony Abbott's limits of understanding are defeated by the concept of "peak speed".

Oh for the time when Tony would be right - on penalty of death - just because the Pope said so. The world was so much simpler when it was flat...

It follows the spirit of the comic in a Hollywood package (read, can't possibly be identical). In some ways it's better - real people doing the same things is quite vivid and confrontational, thus the 'R'. The characters convey the same foibles and characteristics in much less 'time'. I like the revised ending... the alien thing seems a bit gratuitous to me anyway; at this point, we are meant to be left pondering the fact that Ozymandius is right, damnit!

The soundtrack rocks too. Make sure you see it in a decent theatre on a big screen with a honking sound system, so Jimm'y's All Along the Watchtower and Archie's thrusters can have full effect.

All in all, given there is an Director's Cut, extended edition with the comic book in a comic book coming, I'd almost be prepared to think this could grow into a cult film (not certain though). It's good enough to warrant watching the Watchmen again.

I don't think Apple has an iPod production line. I think like everyone else, they outsource to the cheapest tender in China. I don't think Apple gets to dictate what their contractors use to produce iPods at the cheapest possible price. But Windows and virus do go together like a ferret in a rabbit hole.
