Introducing a new reviews/ReelThoughts series about movies of the 1980s.
Were you wondering about the response of entitled comfortable menopausal women to the Obama presidency? No, you weren't, because those women are well-represented in our media, and you already knew they wanted to fuck the president.
So here's Judith Warner, in the Times, on that phenomenon. She had a weird dream about the president! It involved him smoking in her house and taking a shower, and her husband was enraged, because his biracial bohemian ways shook up their tired lives, like in a Sam Mendes movie.
So she "launched an e-mail inquiry" and, naturally, this was the result:
Many women - not too surprisingly - were dreaming about sex with the president. In these dreams, the women replaced Michelle with greater or lesser guilt or, in the case of a 62-year-old woman in North Florida, whose dream was reported to me by her daughter, found a fully above-board solution: "Michelle had divorced Barack because he had become ‘too much of a star.' He then married my mother, who was oh so proud to be the first lady," the daughter wrote me.
Ok! Cool! Have fun with that, lady! But of course the real window into the souls of entitled old white people lies in their huge insecurities. Barack Obama is recognizable, almost familiar: an Ivy League lawyer success story. But he's so much more of a success than everyone else! Shit gets weird:
Another Washington woman, a global health care consultant, expressed her sense of Obama-inadequacy in a dream: "I dreamed I was an Obama girl. I had a chance to be in the same room with him for the first time. There were dark velvet chairs and he was standing there with all this dark and mist around him. His lips so purple and sensuous as if to be otherworldly," she wrote to me. "I moved gently toward him and then I said the wrong thing. Obama tamped it down like some vapor that didn't register. He wasn't even flattered."
And, as usual, the worst parents in the world weigh in:
"Why won't my kids be sleeping over at the White House? And as my daughter noted, why couldn't she get to sit front and center and see the Jonas Brothers and Miley perform at the kids' inaugural concert? If she went to Sidwell, then she might have these chances, she said …" wrote a mother whose kids are not at Sidwell Friends school with Sasha and Malia.
"Will Michelle stay down to earth? She could prove it by joining our book club," wrote a Sidwell mom.
Jesus Christ if you only read New York media you'd assume every mother in America was basically a monster, right? Having twins for attention and wondering why their special little idiot-spawn didn't get to make out with the Jonas Brothers on a play date with the First Daughters. Can the Senate put the birth control stuff back in the stimulus bill?

"Now that you have had a look at 2 Days 2 Vegas in still shots, here is the first look at the technology involved behind the title in motion. This is still a very early look, basically alpha or pre-alpha footage.
As you will see in the tech demo, 2 Days 2 Vegas will include such technical features as:
- Dynamic shadows
- Diffuse textures
- Normal mapping
- Gloss
- Fresnel Reflection
- Refraction
- Water Effects (turbid water, sun glint, dynamic light)
- Ambient Occlusion
- Point Light
- Projective spotlight
- Mo-cap and animation blending
Once again, there are still some key visual technology not yet implemented. What you are looking at is about 50% of the final quality."

No, she's not taking over for Mickey Rourke as The Crimson Dynamo in IRON MAN 2 (though that would be inspired casting), but she's...

It's still early on to tell whether this is actually true, but
HD DVD cracker muslix64
is back, and with the help of another anti-DRM cracker, Janvitos, claims to have also broken the Blu-ray's implementation of AACS. Although their protection does not yet account for BD+ copy-protection, they claim to have been able to implement the same key-grabbing known-plaintext attack as muslix64 used to crack HD DVD in order to successfully to crack Blu-ray without even using a disc or drive (apparently they just used a raw encrypted data file and nothing more). Unfortunately they haven't yet posted code for us to test this out, so we'll have to take their word for it for the time being.
[Thanks, Ken F]

While the
Squeezebox Duet's original spec sheet might've been enticing enough, it doesn't look like Logitech is just leaving it at that. It turns out this little-remote-that-could includes Flickr support, a built-in speaker and headphone jack, a hidden SD card slot, IR transmitter and a 3-axis accelerometer. That's in addition to the WiFi media streaming and controls we've touched upon, and there's even an expansion port on the bottom if that still isn't enough. We're not quite sure what a WiFi home audio controller needs a 3-axis accelerometer for, but we want.

We're all for overengineered upgrades for the PC. This dock is like a magic shoehorn that'll let you use a top line desktop gaming card with a laptop. That's like jamming an 18-wheeler's diesel engine under the hood of your civic. One laptop, paired with an EN7900GS graphics card, gained a 9-fold jump in speed. yes, those numbers are without context, but we're almost talking double digits. Forgive me if I'm excited.
It connects the two via the laptop's express card slot, and the 3D card's PCI express interface. The dock also has USB ports, a headphone jack, and that luscious LCD that shows PC stats like GPU clock speed, temp, master volume, and FPS.

New "ransomware" that locks up your PC and demands $35 to return control to you is on the prowl, a security researcher said this week.
Now I want you to close your eyes and squint really hard. Because I'm going to tell you about a time that feels ancient, a time when Sony made some of the baddest laptops around.
Way before the internet made the idea plausible, Sony was ripping optical drives out of laptops to make them as portable as possible. One such computer, the $1,500 Sony VAIO PCG-SRX99 (circa 2001), weighed just 276lbs and made do with a 10-inch screen.
Inside, it had plenty of power, an 850MHz Pentium III-M, 256MB of RAM, and 802.11b for wireless networking (if you could find a wireless network, that is). Plus it had 20GB of storage, FireWire and even one USB port.
(I'd mention that it ran XP, but that part is a bit too familiar for nostalgic comfort.)
Today, the closest analog to the PCG-SRX99 is a netbook. For about $300 and a weight just shy of 3lbs, you can score a system that, from the outside, is remarkably similar. And on the inside, its clock speed has about doubled, plus there's anywhere between 4x and 8x the amount of RAM and storage.
But if you were willing to look a bit beyond skin deep, I'd argue that the contemporary smartphone is more similar to the PCG-SRX99 than the netbooks of today. Take the iPhone 3GS. In terms of sheer tech specs, it's pretty much a midrange smartphone...and it's about identical to our retro Vaio.
The 3GS has a 600MHz processor and an identical amount of RAM to the PCG-SRX99—256MB. And it holds anywhere from 16 to 32GB in flash storage. Amenities like Wi-Fi (faster 802.11g). Turn to a company like HTC, and you can double the RAM while including a processor as fast as 1GHz.
Still, while Sony's Vaio PCG-SRX99 couldn't fit in our pocket, we've championed its form in an entire wave of cheap, portable computers today. Oh, and that whole ditching the optical drive idea? Sony spotted that trend a mile away. [Product Page and Review]
This is a game that is very much in love with the idea of shooting naughty brown people. It's not the gore that's offensive here, it's the whole tone of the game. This is a game obviously designed to appeal almost exclusively to the American market.
