The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie opens everywhere in theaters today. As a life-long Douglas Adams fan, I'm definitely going, but at this point, I have mixed feelings. I want so very much to like it, but I'm afraid of getting my hopes up. I think the best thing is to is to go into it hoping to see a neat, quirky movie that might bear some resemblance to the original Hitchhiker's.
I posted a while back about things in aviation being finally modernized on the web. I'm very pleased about finding the movie tickets web site. By zip code, you can find movie theaters near you, and find out what movies are playing there. Neat.
The final nail in the coffin of my using non-Intel laptops may not be OS issues, or application software issues, it may be that some companies distribute binary-only, intel-Linux-only browser plugins. As web sites increasingly use such technologies to animate their pages and make them (which I think is dumb but that seems to be the way of things), it becomes increasingly difficult to browse new, cool sites using Firefox on PowerPC Linux. (I'm not complaining at these companies. I would do precisely the same thing in their position. I'm actually please that they are supporting Linux, given the current environment of OSs).
I'm 32 years old, and I'm getting crotchety already. Humph. :-) Need to get to work now.
