WWDC Beginning Soon; M:I:III
WWDC starts in 90 minutes–just a heads up to those getting this blog via RSS, who are interested in Macs, and who weren’t aware of the timing for the event. If that number of people > zero.
Here’s perhaps the best live-update site for the keynote speech.
Off-topic: I just got back from seeing M:I:III, the late show. (Late show tickets are only $11! Whee!) Yeah, I know, M:I:III, old news, but (a) it opened two months late in Japan, and (b) I waited an extra month so I could be into my vacation and not have to fight the crowds.
I don’t know why that movie didn’t do well at the box office (though I just checked, worldwide it hit $380 million, not incredibly shabby). Yes, it had a weak, predictable ending, but everything except the last five minutes of action was as good as the M:I movies get, and Abrams managed to put in a few fun bits at the end despite the weakness. And before that, almost nothing except blam, blam, blam–loud noises, big explosions, lots of jumping and sneaking around and fighting and other fun stuff. What more could one ask for?
I saw Mission Impossible III (MI III) yesterday, and very much enjoyed it. It seems the action is close to non-stop. Wow !
