...Just from this synopsis of Moon, a searching and worthy first feature by Brit fashion maven Duncan Jones, you'll glean that the writer-director has maybe watched Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey once or twice, and is familiar with the stories of SF master Philip K. Dick, who wrote frequently about guys who don't realize they're robots. But Jones, 38, isn't just riffling these oeuvres in order to riff on them. He's long been fascinated by the evolving identity of man in the cyber-era. In 1995, as a philosophy major...
...takes place in a fantasy present, where the Dow is at 11,000 - a relic of that halcyon era of 2008, when the movie was shot.

Same with Silence of the Lambs: We hear Anthony Hopkins' evil slurp, but the video edits out the quote that precedes it: "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti...
...operating system. The iPhone is becoming a platform for precisely the kind of cheap and disruptive technologies that fuel start-ups. The car-rental company ZipCar, for instance, showed off an app that lets you lease a car from your phone and points you to the parking space of the car itself. When you get close to the car, the iPhone can unlock the automobile as if it were a key. Seriously, how cool is that...
