2011 marks the tenth anniversary of the iPod and amid the possibility that the original style is on the way out in favour of the touch models, Mac Rumors has a pretty amusing link to their forum - dating back to the day of the original announcement. It's an iLol.

PJ20

More Pearl Jam 20th Anniversary reissues out yesterday. Possibly their two finest albums, VS and Vitalogy are remastered with bonus tracks and come boxed with an era-concert. It's not to late to repent and jump on board.

Miller's Crossing

Prototype Coen Brothers flick, showing buckets of promise but lacking their later sophistication.

Halliwell says: Sombre, solidly made thriller, directed with a macabre skill.**

Netflix Vs HBO

Netflix seems to be fancying itself as the next HBO, commisioning a remake of 1990 British TV show House of Cards under the guiding hand of David Fincher - and starring Kevin Spacey. The show will initially run exclusively via Netflix's own streaming services late next year. In a show of confidence, they have commisioned two full series up front - 26 episodes. Quite a stretch, considering the original was only four parts.

Netflix already has 20m subscribers, compared to HBO's 28m. If only Love Film was as ambitious.
