Monday reading - Antispyware Shootout - briefly|
| (hx) 02:00 AM CET - Dec,09 2005 |
I watched
Batman Begins on Sunday.
This is pure and simple a great film, easily the best Batman film. One of the
better films so far this year. It retells Batman's story from the beginning and
answers many of the questions you've always had about how the Caped Crusader
came to be. The best thing about this movie, however, is the cast. Christian
Bale (American Psycho, Equilibrium) puts in a very good performance as Bruce
Wayne/Batman. He does a good job of portraying Bruce as a young man looking for
direction in his life and a way to honor the memory and ideals of his father.

- Fox finds Play Station 3 support good enough to back Blu-ray - Fox
Film Entertainment has sited PlayStation 3 support as reason enough to back
Blu-ray and has
decided to release all films exclusively in that format. This news comes
on the heels of wavering support for Blu-ray due to recent reports of it's
restrictive copyright protections policy.
- Microsoft aiming to sell 1m Xbox 360s in Japan - Xbox Japan's
business manager, Yoshihiro Maruyama, has announced that
Microsoft is aiming to sell 1 million Xbox 360 units in the region by

- Sony Sponsoring PSP Graffiti? -
Some rather interesting graffiti has started appearing in cities across
America, depicting funky looking characters mucking about with PSPs. The
graffiti has been spotted in LA, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and
Chicago - you can take a look at some photos of it over on
Flickr or
here. The question is, how did the graffiti get there? Is there really a
PSP-loving graffiti artist running all over the country, or has Sony
commissioned someone to do it as part of a guerrilla marketing campaign?
