  Noah - the Movie

  by Simon Morley in

  went to the movie theatre over the weekend to take in jack ryan (not bad) and saw the trailer for "noah" (russell crowe and a solid cast) whats the bet the dubs will be given a rule encouraged to examine their own consciences when attending this movie.

  from what i hear its fairly true to the genesis account, but hey its hollywood with cgi at their disposal.. .

  my guess is they will not be allowed to go until the gb 2.0 attend a screening at loews cineplex, grab some popcorn and pop and give it their blessing..

  Actually this movie strays pretty far from the Biblical account, at least the JW version. It's a pretty insane movie that I can't wait to see. If you're familiar with Aronofsky's work, you'll know what to expect.

  One of the turning points in the movie is when Noah figures that man isn't worth saving and starts murdering people.

  Do videos buffer well on your Apple?

  by compound complex in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i did some research and one website acknowledges that windows provides superior buffering of videos compared to that of apple computers.

  since i own both type computers, i have experienced this.

  even newer and, might i add, very expensive apple computers buffer videos poorly, so i have read.

  trillaz: there's a silverlight plugin for OS X (intel only)

  Compound: Don't take this the wrong way, but your computers are prettty old. Apple switched to Intel like 8 years. You may want to consider upgrading.

  Adobe does develop flash but it's not even installed on OS X out of the box. Apple doesn't really want it on your Mac :) Plus Apple doesn't really optimize its software for it. If it buffers weird in Safari, try Firefox or Chrome.

  I'm sure the spat Apple had with Adobe a while ago explains why Adobe might not really care too much about it either.

  I'm not a fan of sites like hotwire or priceline. For the super cheap prices, you have to roll the dice on what hotel you get. I would rather pay a few extra bucks and know what I'm getting. For giggles, I went to hotels.com and looked up the hotel for the same days. The JW rate was 50 bucks less per night.

  It's definitely a YMMV thing. For the last assembly, we booked online through hotels.com and the room was 5 bucks more than the WT rate.
