He doesn’t look like the CEO of Apple, he looks more like an Apple product: quiet, tidy, carefully curated, meticulously tooled and at the same time strangely warm and inviting.

I’ve been playing around with Windows 8 a little. I don’t rate it very highly yet. I was impressed with Windows 7; it’s familiar but powerful. Windows 8 takes things in a new direction, and I like to see things pushing forward. However, at the moment it feels like you have 2 operating systems installed. And they gel together even less well than the various VM environments there are, e.g. for running Linux on Windows, or Windows on Mac. Some stuff only seems to be available in one of the ‘OSs’ (such as restarting the system – it took me a long time to figure out how to do that.) And the stuff that’s available in both ‘OSs’ has clunky transitions (such as applying windows updates: I started in Metro, and clicked to see more details about the 20 available updates. I got jumped into the Desktop view, and I had to click again to view the details.)

Uprising soundtrack sample →

December 20th, 2012

Sounds good. More hard than most of the Tron: Legacy soundtrack.

Tron: Uprising, the 2D animated series that bridges the gap between the cult classic original Tron movie and the 2010 follow up, is heading toward the end of its first season run. The soundtrack is composed by Joseph Trapanese — who arranged Daft Punk’s hit soundtrack for Tron: Legacy — the Uprising score extends the computerized audio adventure even further, stretching over 18 episodes.

And actually I didn’t even know about the animated series… Looks like I have something to watch over the Christmas holidays!
