...popular book series, you seem confident in taking popular material and reworking it. The only movies I've made that have had that kind of source material are the ones that motivated me to get off my ass and make them, because I thought there was yet another interesting point of view to the material. I think my friend Elvis Mitchell put it really well when the first Harry Potter book was made into a movie, that it was a book on tape on film. I have no interest in doing that.

...hackedu in his 140 characters. In the room, a large display screen showed a running feed of tweets. Then we all started talking, and as we did, a shadow conversation unfolded on the screen: summaries of someone's argument, the occasional joke, suggested links for further reading.

Jobs in the banking and insurance industries have fallen just 5% since the start of the recession. That's half a percentage point less than the 5.4% overall drop in nongovernment employment over the same time period, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
