Back to an Apple Future
I was recently sent a link to Kim Komando’s TVKim that showed a YouTube of the ‘imagineering’ going on at Apple back in the late 80s and early 90s. While the video below is made up of material from around 1987 and 1992 it still makes a powerful statement on what can be achieved when we have a vision for the future. Enjoy this little technological prophetic ride. More videos from Apple’s past promotions can be found here. Click Here Its interesting that when you read the comments under the video in YouTube you find statements like this. No they got it a MONTH...

Zack Snyder must have a lot of friends in Hollywood. Who else gets to write their ultimate mash-up of child hood fantasies and a secret ‘Spice Girls’ adoration into a script then apply a healthy dose of CGI to breathe life into the concoction? The next Superman reboot director, has definitely played all four aces in this offering and this review will tell you if the recipe fits in the fast food section of the food court or the french cuisine restaurant in Parnell. The heart of Suckerpunch captures three essential themes in empowerment, survival and sacrifice for the sake of a...
