That's actually true. In that era, studios would make a wide variety of movies on lower budgets, with the expectation that some would hit and some would flop. When you accept that, it's easier to bet on bold, risky movies. The wor

Oh yeah. Never allow iTunes to manage your music (there's a checkbox.) In 2010 it wiped out the metadata from about 3000 songs and decided they were all united by unknown. I tried a few autotagging libraries but had to do at least half

I've been working on news sites for 7 years. I rarely comment here, but that's a good question. 1. No, I think the opposite. One of the reason that Internet advertising has gotten to this point _because_ smart people don't wa

That's because I made it up. I'm just trying to narrow in - talking about the idea of material but not necessarily the type or color palette.
