The recently-announced BlackBerry PlayBook tablet features a few key differences from other tablets. Here’s a look at what makes it stand apart from the crowd—for better or for worse.
At this point, I’m perfectly willing to accept that everyone involved with the movie version of The Hobbit just gives up and accepts that some higher being really, really, doesn’t want this movie to get made.
