...match Bale's, at least as expressed in Bale's obscene, YouTubed rant on the set of Terminator Salvation. But he wasn't the lead in last year's top-grossing film, The Dark Knight, either. That's Pixar for you. Unlike its rival, DreamWorks, the studio doesn't sell its movies with star voices. And the films' plots?

The only question that remains is, What happens to the rest of Time Warner? That's another story...

Vivek Kundra, the federal government's chief information officer and the site's manager, has explained that the contents are rapidly expanding. He encourages web developers to use the raw information to create new, user-friendly web applications. "With your help, Data.gov will continue to grow and change in the weeks, months and years ahead," he advises on the site's homepage...
