    A request for an injunction to stop Twitter users from alerting drivers to police roadblocks, radar traps and drunk-driving checkpoints could make Brazil the first country to take Twitter up on its plan to censor content at governments’ requests.

    Trying to Be Optimistic About a Google Music-Streaming System

    The Wall Street Journal’s Amir Efrati and Ethan Smith are reporting that Google is working on a consumer-electronics system designed to stream music–and, eventually, maybe video and other media–around the home. Their story doesn’t have much in the way of detail, but does say that Google’s brainchild might be akin to a lower-cost version of Sonos’s excellent-but-pricey music-streaming products. Absent more details, there are several ways to respond to this sketchy bit of news.

    Many boring movies in the list.
    One should have been there: The endurance

    Who said it was a disaster movie. It was a romance or couldn’t you tell.

    Is there any disaster movie that isn’t better than Titanic?

    Is there any disaster movie that isn’t better than Titanic?

    28 days later? Good movie, but then you should include “The Stand” (Or is it not included because it is a mini-series?) and “Resident Evil”.
    Wall-E? How about “9″?
    Independence Day? War of the Worlds? Just about any alien invasion movie is better than Titanic!
    The Day After Tomorrow? Even with the really crap science in this movie it is better than Titanic (but just barely). Note that I don’t say that about any of the others because they don’t try to pass themselves off as being based on reality.

    In the end, a better Title for your article might be “Here are 12 of the myriad of disaster movies that are better than Titanic”!

    I’d like to add “A Night to Remember,” which I regard as the SUPERIOR Titanic movie. It’s old, released in the late 1950s, is in black-and-white, and they weren’t sure then if the ship broke in two as it sank. But the stories are much better, and it’s more historically accurate (Molly Brown would NOT have meekly sat down when threatened in her rowboat), since it’s based on a book where the author interviewed survivors, people from the rescue ship Carpathia (seen but not identified in the movie), people on other ships that night, in New York,etc. Plus it’s a chance to see Honor Blackman and David McCallum before their time in “Goldfinger” and “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.”
