Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."

The Walt Disney Studios plans to debut new Disney Digital 3-D(TM) versions of Disney- Pixar's "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2". Both of these beloved animated features are being newly converted to 3-D in advance of the 2010 release of Disney-Pixar's "Toy Story 3," which is being produced as a 3-D motion picture and will represent the state-of-the-art for the genre
After months of viral marketing and a record-setting weekend box office, Cloverfield audiences finally got to see what was capable of decapitating the Statue of Liberty and ruining a hipster loft party all in one evening. Although the camera footage retrieved from the area formerly known as “Central Park” may not have had a proper soundtrack (for obvious reasons), perhaps you caught the rapid-fire snippets of indie-tastic tunes playing in the background of Rob’s farewell party. In case you were too distracted by the scene’s gaggle of ridiculously good-looking hipsters/monster-snacks, Hypeful has assembled “Rob’s Party Mix” to help score your next loft party - just add models, a shaky camcorder, Slusho, and a good city evacuation plan!
A German football club struggling to avoid financial collapse has asked rocker Pete Doherty to help publicize their plight as he supported the side as a boy, Doherty's manager and club officials said on Friday.
The lead singer of Babyshambles, famous for his relationship with supermodel Kate Moss and a series of widely-publicized drug problems, spent part of his childhood on a British army base near the western city of Krefeld and developed an affection for local club KFC Uerdingen, Doherty's manager Adrian Hunter said.
Uerdingen Marketing Director Stefan Hoffmann said he was hopeful Doherty could help raise awareness of the former Bundesliga club's difficulties and boost ticket sales.
Doherty had been invited to visit next week when he will be in nearby Cologne for a concert, he added.
"I know he has some affection for the club and he would be happy to do something if he has time," Hunter said.

There are heroes, there are superheroes, and then there’s Hancock (Will Smith). With great power comes great responsibility - everyone knows that - everyone, that is, but Hancock. Edgy, conflicted, sarcastic, and misunderstood, Hancock’s well-intentioned heroics might get the job done and save countless lives, but always seem to leave jaw-dropping damage in their wake.

Wolfgang Schäuble hat eine schwere Bürde zu tragen: er muss für unser aller Sicherheit sorgen. Das ist ein hartes Brot, und dafür braucht er Hilfe.
Das Problem:
* Permanent alle Bürger zu überwachen, bedeutet einen extremen Aufwand an Zeit, Geld und Technik.
* In einer globalisierten Wirtschaft ist jede zusätzliche Staatsausgabe ein Standortnachteil.
* Sicherheit geht alle an! Daher müssen wir alle für Sicherheit sorgen!
Die Lösung:
* Wir überwachen uns alle selbst und gegenseitig.
* Wir informieren Wolfgang über alles, was wir tun und ob es eine Gefahr für die innere Sicherheit darstellt.

Times-Roman was the font of choice for the web at that time, while sans-serif fonts were the darling of the printed world. I wanted the readability of a serifed font, but looked for a typeface that had the same qualities we were looking for – subtly sophisticated, but with some humor and irreverence . The chosen typeface is a based on Catull, an old style serif typeface. Catull borrows elements from traditional writing instruments such as the quill and the chisel with a modern twist. Search, by nature, is an activity that requires we look into the past. Therefore Catull’s historical ties seemed appropriate, as did the bridging between the old analog world and the new emerging digital era.

When five American college students arrive in Ireland to go on camping trip with their old college buddy Jake, they are in high spirits. Jake has promised them the ‘trip’ of a lifetime’ because he claims Ireland has the best magic mushrooms in the world. It sounded like it would be great fun. Now that they are tripping things don’t seem so funny. BLUTO, one of the gang is missing. TARA thinks he’s dead because she feels she has seen his death before but nobody believes her they think she is just out of it. They’re out of it too. That was the whole point of coming here, but there is something out there, something watching them, something that will kill them if they don’t get out of the forest and get help.

The MacBook Air is undeniably beautiful and clever, but clearly designed as a secondary machine, not a main machine. I like using a notebook as my sole machine, which means I’m almost certain to stick with the Pros. (For one thing, 80 GB wouldn’t hold my current boot volume.) I’m not sure that the MacBook Air is going to be a huge hit, but it’s got enough going for it that, at worst, it’ll be a hit of some sort.

„There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It’s a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat shit and die.”
Larry Lessig's magnificent book The Future of Ideas is now available as a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial licensed download. Future of Ideas is a grim and prescient look at the way that corporate interests have rigged the system so that they can own more and more of our thoughts, ideas and conversations -- from banning you from taking pictures of your car and distributing it to pulling down youtubes of toddlers dancing to copyrighted music. Seven years after its publication, Future of Ideas is still as relevant as it was the day it was printed.

Psychedelia is the genre of music that evokes the experience of taking psychedelic drugs. But with so many varieties of drugs, you’d think there would be more accompanying musical genres. Teetotaler Jeff Merrion begins to bridge this gap by describing a genre of droney, down-tempo rock: Narcotica.

Lang ersehnt, endlich wahr: Rocko Schamoni und Jacques Palminger wenden sich der Königsdisziplin des Hörspiels zu. Dieses Mal wird eine besonders böse Blume in den auralen Fokus gezerrt: Gewalt. In einem Maisfeld in Schleswig-Holstein hegt eine Gruppe unerschrockener Widerständler eine kleine Hanfplantage und ihre Träume vom großem Gegenschlag gegen den repressiven Polizeistaat: Babylon must fall. Vor allem Nodger, der einzige Mann unter ihnen, gibt sich der Süße paranoider Träume hin. Die Frauen um ihn herum jedoch verfolgen andere, dunkle Ziele und Begierden. Von A wie Anarchie über G wie Geschlechterkampf bis Z wie Zerstörung - in diesem Hörspiel, soviel ist sicher, wird kein Ohr auf dem anderen bleiben.

One thing that makes being an Apple pundit fun is that it’s akin to Cold-War era Kremlinology — to predict or analyze an opaque, secretive organization, you’ve got to read between the lines of the few things they do say, and you’ve got to know how to interpret silence.

Unter dem Motto »Wir wollen es wissen!« führen die Webkrauts vom 07. Januar bis 18. Februar 2008 eine weitreichende Umfrage durch. Sie dauert etwa 10 bis 15 Minuten, ist selbstverständlich anonym und soll einen Überblick über die Webworker im deutschsprachigen Raum geben. Vorbild für diese Umfrage ist das amerikanische Online-Magazin A List Apart, das im Frühjahr 2007 den Web Design Survey 2007 initiiert hat.
Die Umfrage richtet sich an jeden im deutschsprachigen Raum (Deutschland, Österreich, Schweiz, Luxemburg und Liechtenstein) lebenden und arbeitenden Webworker; ganz gleich ob weiblich oder männlich, Freelancer oder Angestellter. Das beinhaltet Webdesigner, Entwickler, Projektmanager, Suchmaschinenexperten, Webautoren, Online-Redakteure, Informationsarchitekten, Usability-Experten, Web-Ergonomen, XML-Evangelisten und sonstige Webworker. Wir bitten jeden, der an der Entwicklung von Websites im deutschsprachigen Raum arbeitet, an der Umfrage teilzunehmen.
Wir führen die Umfrage durch, um Antworten auf folgende Fragen zu erhalten: Wer sind wir? Wo leben wir? Welche Berufsbezeichnung geben wir uns? Was haben wir für eine Ausbildung? Was sind unsere Kernkompetenzen? Was verdienen wir und was sind unsere Ziele? Und vielleicht ergeben sich auch interessante Ergebnisse im internationalen Vergleich.

As you very well know after studying your zombie survival guide, you can identify a zombie by the following characteristics:
· Unhealthy, unkempt hair.
· Pale, sallow skin.
· Eyes that are sunken and dull (Romero-esque) or inflamed and insane (Boyle-esque).
· Guttural, incoherent groaning and mumbling.
· A shuffling gait.
· A demonstrated need for brains.
· An odor of death.

Steve Jobs gives a legendary keynote at Macworld SF every January, launching products and giving a state of the union view of things at Apple. I wondered what effect the Jobs keynote had on Apple's (AAPL) stock price in the short term. What if you invested $10,000 the day before the keynote, then sold at the end of the keynote day? What if you waited until the day after? What if you did this every year for the past ten years that Jobs has been doing them? Is it possible to make money off the Apple keynote talks given by Steve Jobs?

Yet they struggled for more than a decade with the upcoming fourth installment of their billion-dollar Indiana Jones franchise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Annie Leibovitz gets exclusive access to the set, while Lucas, Spielberg, and their star, Harrison Ford, tell Jim Windolf about the long standoff over the plot, why critics and fans will be upset, and how they’ve updated Indy.

Wie hört es sich an, wenn man Rock Band auf der Xbox 360 spielt und die Musik runterdreht?
David Bendeth, a producer who works with rock bands like Hawthorne Heights and Paramore, knows that the albums he makes are often played through tiny computer speakers by fans who are busy surfing the Internet. So he's not surprised when record labels ask the mastering engineers who work on his CDs to crank up the sound levels so high that even the soft parts sound loud.

There is a reason people still buy CDs more than they do digital albums. Digital music files just don't provide the same amount of content that a CD package does. That includes liner notes, extended album art and lyrics. Buy a digital album today and all you get are a list of tracks and (maybe) a thumbnail image of the album cover that you can't even read.
