Fire broke out on the roof of Chicago’s vacant former post office Tuesday where a movie crew had been filming scenes for the upcoming “The Dark Knight” reports The Associated Press.
Fire department spokesman Kevin MacGregor said a building engineer suggested the fire might have started in the ventilation system. While there was no injuries, it was unclear if the fire was related to the filming.
Crews had been filming there all week so office worker Pete Kearney says of the smoke seen on Tuesday morning – “We assumed it was part of the movie.”
Spaceship Earth post show now open – video and pictures
The Project Tomorrow post show area of the Spaceship Earth ride at Epcot is now open. It features a large globe video screen, a 3-D Body Building game and a driving game. There are also a couple of other areas that say coming soon, but from the looks of it, not too soon. I took a short video and a few pictures…
TweetSpinal Tap Returns
From imdb.com:
The seminal spoof rock band Spinal Tap is due to make a reunion appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York tonight (Wednesday) with a new 15-minute film describing their lives since the original This Is Spinal Tap mockumentary was released in 1984. The Associated Press reported on Tuesday that the original band members, guitarist Nigel Tufnel (played by Christopher Guest), singer David St. Hubbins (Michael McKean) and bassist Derek Smalls (Harry Shearer), are also due to perform at Wembley Stadium in England as part of the Live Earth concerts on July 7. In an interview, director Marty DeBergi (Rob Reiner) said, “They’re not that environmentally conscious, but they’ve heard of global warming. … Nigel thought it was just because he was wearing too much clothing that if he just took his jacket off it would be cooler.”
I can’t wait to see this new 15 minute film. I hope it’ll be available online!
TweetApple to build new features into iPhone, Apple TV free of charge.
From appleinsider.com:
Apple said Wednesday it will leverage its proven capability in the area of software development to gradually add new software features and applications to its iPhone and Apple TV products free of charge, providing its customers with the “greatest possible experience.”
“We are taking this bold step to leverage what we do best,” chief financial officer Peter Oppenheimer said during a conference call with analysts and members of the media. He added that some of the new iPhone applications will be brand new.
Oppenheimer offered few additional details on the two-pronged initiative, but implied that the new features and applications would be made available through automatic software updates to both iPhone and Apple TV.
In order to account for the new features, Apple said it will document iPhone and Apple TV income through a subscription based accounting model, in which income will be distributed over a 24-month period. Payments from AT&T/Cingular will be reported on a quarterly basis.
Yet again something that people expected, although I didn’t see this coming for Apple TV, which is interesting.
At least it’s confirmed by Apple now that new features will be free.
