The Year That Wasn't
TORONTO - I'm sure that it was possible to have had a great time at the 33rd edition of the Toronto International Film Festival. That just wasn't my experience. Sure, there were plenty of good films to see, but even the best ones were overshadowed by the soul-crushing disappointments and flat-out stinkers, many of which, ironically, were the most difficult to get into.The few "big" studio films to premiere at TIFF (Spike Lee's WWII epic The Miracle of Saint Anna, Oprah-endorsed The Secret Life of Bees, Pride and Glory with Colin Farrell and Edward Norton, Ed Harris' oater Appaloosa, supernatural rom-com Ghost Town, Greg Kinnear's Oscar wannabe Flash of Genius, et al) sank without a trace, leaving the Great White North without the requisite bounce for which it was hoping.Toronto's reputation for being the official launching pad for the upcoming awards season took a serious beating in 2008. Conspicuous by their absence were such heavily touted Oscar contenders as Milk, The Road, The Solo...

RE[3]: Linux has come a long way, but still has a way t
Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth announced Wednesday that his company, Canonical, will hire professional designers and interaction experts to improve the usability of the Linux desktop software ecosystem. If you use applications ONLY from synaptic, then you do not have to edit .desktop files, but try to use an app that is NOT on synaptic, such as eclipse 3.4 (yes I know eclipse 3.2 is on synaptic, but I need 3.4). As long as third parties insist upon using installation methods outside of the normal mechanism for the OS, in this case the Debian family, it won't integrate well with the OS. If Eclipse is not using debs and rpms it should. Unzip an archive into a directory in Windows and then look for the program in the start menu. Doesn't work. Obviously Microsoft needs a better way to install apps before it can go mainstream, right? It's 2008 and dumping a tar ball onto an ftp server should not be considered a proper "release" for OSes which are supposedly supported. It would be p...

SI.com's Peter King joined the show to discuss a wild Sunday in ...
AdInterstitial = ( document.cnnAdInterstitial == undefined ? Dan asked Peter who the best team in the NFL is after Week 4 and Peter thinks it's the Giants. Peter says that Dallas still needs help with their defense or they aren't winning a Super Bowl. Terrell Owens' postgame comments were "stupid" and he shouldn't complain because he got plenty of touches. On the other hand, Marion Barber and Felix Jones are the ones who should be complaining about lack of touches. Peter says Jones is one of the Cowboys' best offensive weapon and Jason Garrett messed up by not giving him a single touch from scrimmage. When asked about the Scott Linehan firing, Peter mentions that the Rams talked to Dick Vermeil and Marshall Faulk about the team. Vermeil thought the coaching staff was fine and everyone should stay in place. Is Lane Kiffin a dead man walking? It looks that way, especially after another fourth-quarter loss. Aaron Rodgers' injury is not severe, and he may just miss next week's g...
