Wow, look at the UI on this thing! I'm having flashbacks to my time using Linux. Check out the huge mis-matched icons and the menu items not rendering properly. And the reader window itself - there are three sets of arrows: which do you imagine controls page turning? Oh, and I'm sure there's nothing important on the menu that's been hidden away. Right?
I guess I've been spoiled by Mac apps.
Something doesn't add up.

I can't believe it's taken me 11 years to watch American Psycho. I loved it. The dialogue is hilarious. The trivia on IMDb is quite interesting too. Apparently while looking for inspiration on how to play Bateman, Christian Bale saw a Tom Cruise appearance on David Letterman. According to director Mary Harron, Bale saw in Cruise "this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes."
Also, the director asked Willem Defoe was asked to portray his Detective Kimball character three different ways: As though knowing Patrick Bateman killed Paul Allen, not knowing, and merely being unsure. She would then edit the takes together, giving the audience an unsure vibe of what the Detective thought of Bateman. Bonus trivia: I just realised that Bateman is a vowel away from Batman…
I loved the chef's decor. When I grow up, I want a bedroom like this.
I particularly hated how they got Leonard Nimoy to soil the classic Spock "The needs of the many…" line. Probably not as big a travesty as getting Buzz Aldrin to cameo in a role supporting the nonsense that Apollo 11 was actually on a secret mission to the 'dark side' of the moon. Sad. Horrible.
And I don't understand the appeal of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley at all. Not that there were any decent roles for women in this movie - even the excellent Frances McDormand. Two and a half hours.
So, Diaspora raised $200,000 on Kickstarter over 1 year ago, only recently managed to release an alpha product (that looks uncannily like Google+), and now want more money. And they ask for this in an email with the subject:
(BTW, if you're curious how they spent the money: http://www.scribd.com/doc/64316626/Untitled?secret_password=2bf4lftpr5j9t9pmv... )
If they were smart, they would sell ad space here, when they know users have time to kill, and hide the premium upgrade in the settings.

1. The Executive Producer. I hope this show is going to be a damn sight better than Voyager. 2. Bloody Bank Gothic yet again! When will TV shows get sick of this boring font?
And how easily can you fake GPS coords on a phone?

An f-bomb, and it took them a few tries to get the tweet right. Twitter is hard.
I can see the value of a camera knowing where I am shooting something, but even then I would expect to be able to turn off location and still have a working app.
I presume they want to know where users are for marketing reasons. Bad form. Sent from my xylophone
All started following me some time this morning. I must attract female
animal lovers with tedious jobs.
Seriously!

As far as I can tell, the URLs don't work. I could at least understand
why someone would want to spam me or trick me into installing malware,
but what's the point of this?
And their follow up apology.
