The Forsyte remake, part 2 (Oct 17 2003 20:23 GMT) - I just read a plot summary, sort of, of the second part of Granada Television's remake of the Forsyte Saga. It's not really a plot summary, more of a description of the episodes by a pair of Damian Lewis fans. A bit soppy, but more than enough descriptive of the botch job made of the script. Part 2 is allegedly an adaption of the third Forsyte novel, the one in which Soames's daughter and Irene's son meet and fall in love without knowing anything about their parents' past. Violence is done to the book's plot, to the characters, to the family backstory, to anything that could be tromped on. |

For once, the Bush administration had an awesome diplomatic success. Hell, they even got Syria to vote in favor. Let's hope they've finally gotten the hang of the whole diplomacy thing. |

Microsoft's Gall (Oct 17 2003 20:20 GMT) - ...or, I loves me some Bile Gates. A while back, Microsoft decided to kill further development of Internet Explorer for the Mac. Good riddance, I say, but it was the reasoning they gave for it that astounded me. With a straight, but-we're-a-benevolent-monoply way, they claimed that they couldn't keep up with Apple's own Safari browser because Apple had the unfair advantage of owning the APIs and the OS. How those PR folks sleep at night is completely beyond me. |
