It's correct to avoid costumes. Smallville is a show about secret identities and personal lives. It's about the hidden torments of public figures and the friends who know their secrets. Seeing all these superheroes de-costumed is part of the pleasure.

>> the market was last at 10,000 back in October when it broke that mark on the downside.

Wait a minute ... [checking calendar] ... it's not April 1. Yet I cannot believe my blog-reading eyes. Awaiting the punch line....

Seriously, say what you will about Paula's incoherence and Randy's glib patter, the show never lost its credibility as being judged by people *in the music industry*. Until now.

This one is at the top of my list. You can't exactly blame people for using an airplane feature, and IMO reclining buttons should be removed for a decade or so -- let the recliners be frustrated for a while, and give the non-recliners some happiness. In the meantime, the non-recliner's only option is to make recliners pay for their lack of consideration. Aim your blower at their lowered heads. Find their kidneys through the seat with your knees and dig hard. Shift positions constantly and make them feel every move. When the ride is smoothest, make their ride bumpiest. In short, make the upright seat a better experience for them.

(But seriously, a short request by the captain or flight attendant to be considerate when reclining would go a long way.)

Who is on the team? I see Anthony (naturally!), Lena, and Simon. Anyone else?

Simplicity is needed. Sylar started as one of the most compelling villains on TV, but they gunked up that character and robbed it of its power. Fewer gimmicks and incomprehensible plot lines. Return this show to a character-driven drama.

Joe Smith -- who are you, and what have you done with John Neff?

Hulu.

Bezos is trying to be the new Jobs. Same presentation style; same business model. Interesting that Bezos pitched the educational aspect of books (as opposed to books as entertainment), yet avoids the textbook market.

No price break for Kindle v1 users means I'm sticking with the outrageous buttons and slow page turns for now. All the other new features are evolutionary, not revolutionary. Text-to-voice? Please.
