I would love to see Don reboot his life as Richard Whitman, free of Sterling Cooper & Partners and Megan. But as previous seasons demonstrated, I suspect he will eventually regress and I really don't want to see that repetition in final season.
Matthew Weiner has really given me a lot to think...
I think bigger hole (or perhaps yet to be addressed reveal) is that V has administered a "monitoring pill" to father Jack Landry when he was impaled in season 1.
I agree with mattCR. While the pacing was a bit rushed, it was a griping and satisfying season (and series) finale. I was very surprised by the prologue, which wrapped up nearly everything in few minutes. It's as if Ron Moore knew the series had no chance of being picked up for season 2 (too...
How many more years do you have left on your 5.125% 7/1 ARM mortgage? Are you able to pay additional principal each month? 5.125% to 6.25% (with 7/8 point) is a hefty increase. I am sure you know, but $500 "savings" come from borrowing less money than you did earlier. In terms of monthly...
I have an AVCHD camcorder (Canon VIXIA HF100) and Final Cut Express (FCE) 4.0.1. As with iMovie '08, FCE converts AVCHD footage into Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) at 1920x1080 29.97 fps 48 kHz 16-bit stereo audio. At highest quality and resolution (1920x1080), AIC consumes about 9 times more...
Coppola's winery has been transformed into an upscale winery with just about every traces of his movie memorabilia removed from the premise. I would say skip it unless you like snooty atmosphere with high entrance fee. My recommendations (I visit Napa few times a year):V. Sattui: It's a prime...
Battery life: slightly better so far (not much more than 10-20% though) Syncing: much faster... no more 30-60 minute backup Stability: even after using few dozen apps, iPhone seems to be relatively stable and speedy... looks like they plugged lots of memory leaks... individual apps are...
My most frequently used apps (all free):Aurora Feint: Very unstable but visually stimulating variation of Bejeweled. RPG elements are interesting although I am not quite sure how these elements come into play. My rating: 4.5 out of 5Bloomberg: Although not without issues (e.g., lack of...
3.5 out of 5 for me. Although the atmosphere, acting, and writing are all strong, for me, this film was a victim of expectation. With critics hailing the film as the best super hero movie ever/one of the best sequels ever, my expectation was sky high. In the end, although the film had moments...
My initial impression after playing Wii Fit for few hours. Pros:Very cute execution overall -- with Mii characters lurking everywhere (I have entire immediate family, neighbors, celebrity, and friends).Many of the exercises give pretty good workout.Most games are addictive and fun (e.g., ski...
Not sure if these characters count as main character, but... Although I liked the original cast, I thought Cheers improved when Woody Harrelson and Kirstie Alley joined the cast. And I am probably in a minority here, but I couldn't stand Suzanne Somers character on Three's Company. I much...
This probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but to bump, my scanning needs are served by Canon PIXMA MP600 (since succeeded by MP610), an all-in-one printer-scanner-copier unit. Although the driver doesn't offer as many options as Windows counterpart, it does what it needs to do...
Amanda made several tragic errors, all on the last episode. 1. Arguing, crying, and having mental breakdown with Cirie. 2. Crying when voting out Cirie. 3. On the final tribal meeting, Cirie asked a trick question. Amanda should've said Cirie is the most deserving player of all, and...
John is probably right in that with right techniques, you can take picture good enough for websites with existing camera. If you insist on getting a new camera, get an SLR (e.g., entry level Canon or Nikon) with good fixed focal length lens (e.g., 50mm f/1.8).
I reluctantly use Quicken 2007. It takes time getting used to its user interface quirks, but once you do, it does the job. Like others, I too, am waiting for overhauled Quicken Financial Life in the fall.
If you are shooting in RAW format, two of the most popular choices are Apple Aperture ($199 MSRP) and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom ($299 MSRP). You can try both with free 30-day trial download. Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 ($99 MSRP) is another popular choice, with much improved organization and...
I preordered from Amazon as well. I don't expect to lose a ton of weight, but the idea of being able to track my weight and BMI appeals to me. Looking at the game play clips on YouTube, jogging and skii look fun enough to "play" often.
I guess I am in the minority but I thought the episode was horrible. Perhaps I am biased for disliking the country music, but I liked the earlier Lurleen episode.
I think it was a jab against no-longer-so-recent screenwriter strike. World Canadian Bureau had WGA initial (Writer's Guild of America), demanding Internet money.
As an Aperture user since 1.1, I am appreciating the speed increase. Just about every user interface elements are more usable with surprisingly minimal learning curve. Expanded EXIF meta data (e.g., lens type) and ability to export EXIF data are both well overdue and welcomed. I also appreciate...
Anyone still watching this show? For me, this season broke the old adage "bad Simpsons is still better than most shows on TV". I am this close to hitting my TV with a stick and yell "be funny".
