It used to be that people complaining about how others wish them good tidings wouldn't start until AFTER Thanksgiving.

I ran the gdgt vm release. It's a chrome browser in a window. You'll get bored fast.

BTW, Gruber mentions that this VM build isn't the latest release:

"But be warned — this release is far behind the version of Chrome that Google actually demoed during their event yesterday. This open source release is missing much of the cool stuff shown yesterday, and only fully works if you have a special google.com account — presumably only available right now to Google employees."

I doubt that people are trying to hide facts about how bad the situation is. But I always thought the difference between a recession and a depression had to do with some arbitrary percentage fall in GDP. Any idea how much GDP has dropped?

I think this animated map of U.S. unemployment by county over time is relevant to understanding the scope of this great recession.

It's definitely engineered to taste good. There's a great article on food flavorings in the current New Yorker, BTW.

Probably true. Titanic was pretty good though.

My point is that the vast majority of your excellent, prolific reviews seem to be for things that just don't measure up to your standards. As such one could postulate that you simply don't like most things that other people find enjoyable -- for example the movie Terminator, which is almost universally recognized as an excellent work (by James Cameron).

But you liked it quite a bit, so that's obviously not true.
