“The caped crusader himself (although this camp designation is now not used) is again played by Christian Bale, clanking around in a kind of titanium-lite exoskeleton and making use of a heavy-duty Batmobile so macho and military-looking it makes a Humvee look like the kind of Prius driven by Gok Wan.”

“Drummond is probably not the only middle-aged man to find himself less excited by rock music than he was as a teenager, but he’s probably the only one to tackle the problem by giving his entire record collection to a charity shop, announcing he’ll never listen to a CD again and assembling a succession of choirs who perform only once without an audience, have their performance played back to them once, then deleted (if this seems a pretty extreme response to not caring much for Duffy or the Ting Tings, it’s probably worth noting that Drummond is a man who initially thought the best way to express his dissatisfaction at the KLF’s sudden success would be to chop his own hand off with a meat cleaver live on stage at the Brits and throw it into the audience).”

“Apparently the average reader quickly scans each page in an “F-pattern”: reading along the top first, then glancing halfway along the line below, before skimming their eye downward along the left-hand side. If there’s nothing of interest within that golden “F” zone, he or she will quickly clear off elsewhere.”

“The situation is so dire in the minds of many security experts that they no longer trust any browser to keep them safe without taking extraordinary security measures. Grossman, for example, uses Firefox with the NoScript, Flashblock, SafeHistory, Adblock Plus and CustomizeGoogle add-ons for most of his web surfing, all to improve on the less-than-ideal state of today’s web. When visiting financial sites, he switches to an obscure browser that he refuses to name. By treading off the beaten path, he says, he’s less likely to get hit by an exotic zero-day exploit, which can sell on the underground market for tens of thousands of dollars if it targets a popular browser.”

““This pre-game show or performance is so not going to help Europe’s image here in the United States,” writes Bobby Otter, who is not as you’d assume a club comic from Wigan, but in fact a resident of Chicago. A resident of Chicago who has a bloody cheek dissing the pre-game jazz, given that Europe was forced to sit through Tom Petty during the last Super Bowl.”
