The first, seen above, features Steven van Zandt (better known as Silvio Dante on The Sopranos, but also a real-life performer in Bruce Springsteen's band) spouting an old Godfather III reference (that a lot of returning fans are probably saying to themselves after re-entering Warcraft for level ...

On Monday, Cliff Kuang wrote a reasoned plea in favor of a government-sponsored bailout for automakers in Detroit. Today, just for the sake of entertaining the other side of the argument, we’d like to link to a counterpoint penned by the former Massachusetts governor (and GOP presidential candidate) Mitt Romney. He references his father’s work at American Motors, a company that was only able to make strides toward success after the total collapse of its ...

The iPhone and Android platforms have validated a number of things; below is a list with some of such things: iPhone: Applications are at the center of next generation of handsets. That software, not hardware, is the main driver and differentiator. Touch-screens rock! Everyone knew it, but Apple showed the world how. The mobile web is important, that there is no One Web, and that handset-specific customized mobile websites will continue to be built. That ...

When I was a teenager I read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. A heck of a lot. Favourite authors included J R R Tolkein, Ursula Le Guin, Andre Norton, Isaac Asimov, Philip K Dick, and Alan Garner. I haven't read much sci-fi for a while, although I sometimes dip into Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings and Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy. But when I read a Times review of Paul McAuley's The Quiet War, ...

Originally set around the United State’s foreign policy and the aftermath of the Bush administration, THR says that the yet-to-be-titled film will now have a “end-of-the-empire tone”, which Moore hopes will give it “a more general feel that will untether it from a specific political moment.” Once referred to as a ...
