Apple have given back the non-stack menus

Not sure if anyone who uses a mac will have noticed this yet but it's really handy. Must have been added in a recent patch.

The "Display as folder" and "View as list" are the 2 useful ones which make the menus like they were on Tiger only without the need to right click them to open.

Firefly thing that you've might not have seen yet....

Not sure if anyone hasn't seen this yet but just in case...

The River Tam Sessions - http://session416.com/

Some interesting backstory style clips for Firefly.

Pretty cool. Joss Whedon plays the part of the interviewer type person.

BBC egypt detective type game

The BBC have added this game to their website about Egypt to go with a new TV series.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/games/death_sakkara/index.shtml

It's quite fun it's a sort of detective story a bit like a Poirot sort of thing. It's nicely done and has a comic book feel.

Batman Begins 10 Minute long Trailer

For anyone who is interested there is a 10 minute long trailer/featurette thingy for Batman Begins here:


www.movie-list.net/exclusive/batman-begins-10min-trailer-640.mov

It's really cool but possibly shows a little too much for some people who are totally avoiding spoilers, i wouldn't say most people would find it spoilery though.

Something i thought Hoggy might find interesting.

Quoted from Slashdot
"The Guardian unlimited is reporting that Korean roboticist Kim Jong-Hwan, who founded the robot football (soccer) World Cup, and is the director of the ITRC-Intelligent Robot Research Centre, has developed a series of artificial chromosomes that, he says, will allow robots to feel lusty, and could eventually lead to them reproducing."

The Guardian's news story is here.

Crazy clever game.

A fun game stolen from [info]groolover who posted this the other day. I'm just posting this for the benefit of anyone I know who hasn't seen it as it's very cool. It's a webpage where you think of a character from Tv or Films and it tries to guess who you're thinking of by asking you yes and no questions. I thought of some fairly obscure people and it got them :-)

Updated my photo gallery.

Finally got round to updating my gallery with the tiny amount of photos i took during November and December and my latest ones from my trip to Auckland Zoo are in the January 05 album.
Hurray for mullet monkeys and Meerkats!

I am still very pleased with my new camera, the huge 10x zoom is prooving to be even more useful than i thought it would.

Mwhahaha

Off to see Team America in a minute which apparantly isn't out in the UK until the 14th of January.

Edit: that film absolutely rocked. Very funny and everyone must see it!

This is pretty damn cool.

If you haven't seen this linked elsewhere you should probably watch it. It's a very very cool flash animation done to Radiohead's song Creep.

http://www.lowmorale.co.uk/creep/

If you want to download it, then right click this link and do "save as" to save the flash file.

Something for hoggy

http://www.puzzlepirates.com

"Yohoho! Puzzle Pirates is an online game in which you play a Pirate character in an ocean world. Hundreds of your fellow player Pirates swarm these Isles and Sea-lanes. For Pirates who love acronyms, Puzzle Pirates is an massively multi-player online roleplaying game, or mmoarrrrpg."

Looks like fun :-)

Edit: It seems to be limited to 10 sessions and then you have to pay :-( but still fun till then

You're nice and reliable, and a good friend to have in any situation. Make sure sure you've got something interesting inside though, you want to keep people coming back for more.


Edit: the quiz was altered/finished and now i'm a different tag :)

Harry Potter Trailer

The next Harry Potter Film looks surprisingly good. It seems to have a much darker feel to it which is what it needed. The filming style looks more sharp and edgy and not quite so cute and cuddly and all the kids seem to have grown up a little which is also what it needed :-) Also Gary Oldman is playing Sirius :-)

Quite looking forward to it actually, shame it's not this christmas as usual.
