‘Apple and the Open Web’ ★: Video of my presentation yesterday at Web 2.0 Expo.
Engadget’s Apple TV 2 Review ★: High marks from Josh Topolsky for video and audio quality, particularly compared to competing streaming service devices, but still saddled with frustrating limitations on the content available from iTunes: a limited number of TV shows, and still too many new movie releases that aren’t available to rent until a month after they ship on Blu-ray and DVD.
iFixit Takes Apart the Apple TV 2 ★: A4 processor, 8 GB of storage, and 256 MB of RAM.
Peter Kafka on the Size of Condé Nast’s iPad Magazine Apps ★: Each issue of Wired is around 500 MB, and the first issue of The New Yorker weighs in at 173 MB.
Play Asteroids on Any Web Page ★: Fantastic.
George Lucas Continues Work on His Promise to Keep Making the Original Star Wars Trilogy Worse ★: All six live-action films to be re-released theatrically in “3D” in 2012.
‘Hi Sally’ ★: Funny then, heartbreaking now.
R.I.P. Sally Menke, Editor for Quentin Tarantino ★: Died while hiking. She’d worked with Tarantino on all of his feature films.
