The latest film from Brick director Rian Johnson is a brain-bendingly awesome take on organized crime and time travel. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis are the leads in this long-anticipated tale of what would happen if the mob had a time machine.

John Gruber asks “Not sure how they’re going to justify that later this year if iPad-esque Windows 8 tablets hit the market on schedule”. I think they’ll justify it quite easily: Windows 8 tablets will count as PCs because they run Windows, a PC OS, but iPad still won’t because they run a smartphone OS. Similarly they won’t count Android tablets as PCs.
I predict the industry will put Windows 8 tablets into their own category, ultra-tablets or some such, and continue to avoid direct marketshare comparisons to the iPad or to ebook readers even though the functions of all these devices will overlap more and more.
Corporations are not people; I hold this truth to be self-evident.
