	Peering Into Windows 8 (Part 2) By Frederik Sisa @ 5:00 PM January 25, 2013 Found in: General Art After almost two weeks of working with Windows 8, I’ve gained enough experience to reinforce my suspicion that critics of the OS are either operating with a bias against Microsoft or are simply old dogs whimpering at new tricks.

	An Unexpected Pleasure By Frederik Sisa @ 4:00 PM January 11, 2013 Found in: Film Review of 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' - Time has passed since Jackson first materialized Middle Earth in a trilogy of films that made pure fantasy fashionable again, although I’ll stick with the Harry Potter films as the superior accomplishment. My opinion of Tolkien’s work hasn’t changed – imagination and exhaustive attention to detail put to the service of a dull and shallow narrative – yet I’ve come to appreciate that imagination and detail through Jackson’s breathtaking rendition of Tolkien’s universe.read
