The Big Apple Steve Jobs once famously said: “Apple’s market share is bigger than BMW’s or Mercedes’ or Porsche’s in the automotive market. What’s wrong with being BMW or Mercedes?” But that was long ago. Today he could just have easily said GM or Toyota—or any other company in any other market, except maybe Exxon. Apple’s market capitalization has officially surpassed Microsoft, making it the second largest company on the S&P 500.

As TechCrunch points out, the turnaround came in the last five years, as Apple’s stock went up 550 percent. During that same time, Microsoft’s 9<PFE; :FFC K_\ i\Z\ekcp i\k`i\[ É>\k X DXZÊ X[ ZXdgX`^e stock went up just 4 percent, dXp _Xm\ _\cg\[ 8ggc\ jligXjj about as much as you might D`Zifjf]k# Ylk k_\ jkpc`j_ Xe[ i\c`XYc\ gif[lZk c`e\ gifYXYcp get in a CD. That could _\cg\[ dfi\% possibly excuse Michael Dell’s suggestion to Apple back in 1997: “I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” He’s probably regretting that now.

The secret of Apple’s success isn’t just its desktops and laptops, or Justin Long’s cool persona compared to John Hodgman’s. No, it’s all the i’s, from iPods to iPhones to iPads.

This worries Google, whose Android operating system for mobile devices is competing Apple. When launching their new system, Google’s vice president of engineering, Vic Gundotra, famously warned, “If we did not act, we faced a draconian future. Where one man, one company, one carrier was the future.” That was man was Steve Jobs—saint or Satan, depending where you stand on the Apple/PC divide.

Facebook Is Not Too Big to Fail

Facebook: New Privacy Controls Immaterial To its users and the press, Facebook made quite a big deal out of new privacy settings it rolled out yesterday. But to the people who write the checks, Facebook says everything is business as usual.

Inside Facebook’s Eric Eldon got his hands on an email Facebook sent to advertisers, assuring them that “this change will not affect your advertising campaigns,” in part because it’s not clear many users will actually take advantage of the new, purportedly easier-to-use privacy settings: While a majority of our users love Facebook apps and Facebookenhanced websites, some may prefer not to share their information outside of Facebook. Users can now opt out with just one click.”

Maybe Facebook is saying very few users will take advantage of its new privacy settings, so there will be no impact on ad traffic. Or maybe the social network is simply as shifty in its communications with advertisers as it is with users. —RYAN TATE, VALLEYWAG.GAWKER.COM

Valkyrie607 Zuckerberg was on NPR today, being smarmy and disingenuous. He’s a total douchebro. I hate myself for supporting his business model.

Many of my free market friends have been making the case that government action is unnecessary to address the privacy trouble in which Facebook has recently found itself. I agree with them completely.

The reason is that I believe that the given choice, individuals acting in the market will act to discipline unscrupulous or stupid companies.

This is precisely what we’ve begun to see happen to Facebook.

It therefore bothers me when folks go beyond mere defense of free market to pretending that corporations can do no wrong. Facebook, for example, has committed a terrible breach of trust against its users, and it should pay the price. Still, on the NetChoice blog, Steve DelBianco writes this about Facebook’s new privacy options: “Facebook is making these moves partly to placate a handful of professional privacy critics, as we described on our post this week. But as with most moves made in reaction to critics, there’s a chance Facebook might have moved too far.”

I’m not a “professional privacy critic,” yet I know I’ll never trust Facebook with any of my data ever again. I hear the same sentiment from many of my friends, acquaintances, and other regular folks I follow online. —JERRY BRITO, TECHLIBERATION.COM

bradencox Facebook is such a torchbearer (or piñata?) for privacy. But there’s also another approach—admit a company did something wrong but still defend either the market when consumers react or the company when it takes corrective action.

Yeah, that would probably do it. Sure to be the most talked about spectacle at this year’s festival is the collaboration between San Jose’s breakout hip-hop crew the Bangerz and the Japanese drumming ensemble San Jose Taiko.

Though superficially a study in Old World vs. New World, their

collaboration isn’t as unlikely as it might seem. The two groups have several things in common, the first of which is that while both are now known for their artistry around the world, they somehow remain mostly under the radar in their own hometown.

The Bangerz came to prominence on the first season of America’s Best Dance Crew in 2008, as the DJs responsible for the sound behind masked winners JabbaWockeeZ. JabbaWockeeZ returned to the show last month to perform a routine set to the Bangerz’ new single “Robot Remains” that was maybe the most eerily realistic robodancing ever executed.

San Jose Taiko formed in 1973 and through years of international touring has come to be one of the most critically acclaimed, progressive taiko groups to come out of this country.

Just how forward-thinking,

though, didn’t become clear until this collaboration, which started with, of all things, a phone booth.

It was the booth that San Jose Taiko associate artistic director Franco Imperial and a few other members of the group were moving from Brian Eder and Cherri Lakey’s former office for Two Fish Design (into which SJT had just moved) to their other space, Anno Domini. Eta noticed how many younger members San Jose Taiko had, and suggested to Imperial that they ought to collaborate with one of San Jose’s up-and-coming groups.

Nothing came of it right away, but Eta and Imperial became friends. One day, Eta made a point of introducing Imperial to the Bangerz.

“We were at Left Coast Live last year,” Imperial remembers, “and he said, ‘You gotta check out these guys.

You guys would work really well together.’”

Imperial was immediately drawn to the six-man crew’s style and rhythm.

They talked about collaborating, and finally set a date for the SubZERO festival.

For Imperial, it was a natural step for the group. He’d been frustrated that, for all their success, the audiences in their native city really only got to see a small part of what they do, usually in outdoor festivals.

“The festivals are very important to our mission. They’re the heart of what we do for our cultural community. But they only show one side of what we believe is a multidimensional form,” he says. “San Jose Taiko has always been known for taking traditional taiko and trying to make it more contemporary.”

He also found the Bangerz to be great collaborators.

“These are very down-to-earth guys to work with. They’re a world famous DJ crew, but they’re really proud of their roots in San Jose,” says Imperial.

It would be reasonable to wonder how the huge sound of taiko could be paired with the intricate beats of the Bangerz. How it works is that the Bangerz will perform a set, and near the end they’ll be joined by San Jose Taiko, who’ll perform a composition written by Imperial. From there, the “mashup” aspect will ramp up, with the two groups playing off of each other. The end result, while structured within the context of particular songs, will have a jam-session quality to it, allowing both groups to build on the other’s sounds to show off what they do.

Movement is also an important part of the performance, with Taiko performing choreographed moves to the music.

Imperial doesn’t, however, want audiences to get the impression this is some kind of America’s Best Dance Crew redux.

“We’re not dancers in the way that JabbaWockeeZ is. I hope people don’t expect that,” he says. “What we do is quite different.”

A very famous mouse—by all appearance it had a human ear on its back. It was a shocking image: it looked like it crawled out of a Dali painting. I instantly knew I wanted to make a film in some way related to this, even though the mouse turned out not to be a genetic experiment.

What appealed to me about the story in Splice was this: we’re talking about ideas that have been with us thousands of years—the notion of animal human crossbreeds.

N\ ZXe XZklXccp dXb\ X D`efkXli efn# pfl d\Xe6 It’s almost as if those ideas were planted in us, for the day when we could engineer them in the real world.

So that’s where Splice began. And it was a mere 12 years until we made the film.

N_Xk kffb jf cfe^6 A variety of things. It’s a potentially risky commercial venture. When I started the film, the whole idea of genetic splicing and cloning was at its nascent stage. It was actually a failed technology that started to reinvigorate itself once Dolly the sheep was cloned.

But at that particular time it wasn’t in the public consciousness. One extraordinary thing that happened, during the writing and prepping of the movie, is that the real science caught up with my fiction. By 2006, people were reading about this kind of stuff in the newspaper, and the film tech itself had evolved so you could do this sort of thing cheaper and better than before. That’s what allowed me to make Splice as an independent movie.

I don’t know a lot of geneticists, but their work is devoted to helping other people, and they’re passionate about their science. But I think in every geneticist there has to be a little bit of a mad scientist. It’s such tantalizing work.

One of the experiments I heard about is very common. The eye genes from the fruit fly—they share a lot of genetic material with us, as you’ve heard—can be replicated and replicated, so you can make a fruit fly covered with eyes.

There’s just something horrifying and fascinating about playing with the building blocks of life. I really have tremendous respect for these scientists—in my mind, they are as creative as any artists. I tried to exemplify this with Clive and Elsa— they really believe in what they’re doing and are prepared to risk their careers. That’s why when we meet them they drive a Gremlin and live in a crappy apartment. That’s how most gene scientists live: they’re not very wealthy.

Diabolical, funny and sexy, Splice may be the best surprise the summer film has in store (see review on page 24), and its release (due to producer Joel Silver picking up what was a very small-scale Canadian movie) gives people something that will be remembered when this week’s hyped-up blockbuster is forgotten.

Success couldn’t happen to a more seemingly nice guy than director Vincenzo Natali, who has been nurturing the film for 12 years. He says, “As an indie filmmaker, I wake up every morning so thankful for what happened. Truly, I thought we were heading straight for a TV premiere on ‘Sci Fi Movie of the Week.’ It’s the worst possible environment to sell a film in these times. I never in my wildest imaginings thought we’d get both a major studio distributor and a summer release.”

mad scientists Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley). Happily, the film doesn’t take those names in vain.

Splice earns its comparisons to Bride of Frankenstein in a tale in which the monstrousness is all too human.

Canada’s Natali makes up a vision of the near future through a handful of tricks: ominous worm’s-eye shots of a financial district, with the sheen of acetate fabric glowing in the business wardrobes and loads of dim interiors.

Clive and Elsa are underpaid, overworked techs toiling on a creature that will exude horse hormones for veterinary use. After much tinkering, they’ve successfully spliced up an organism that looks like a giant living beef tongue. They call it “Fred.” Bored with this 28

work, and not getting the raise they need to move up to “a lifestyle loft,” Clive and Elsa play around with the creation of an illegal and no-doubtimmoral side project.

Their experiment is a success, in the sense that the creature lives.

She’s your classic featherless biped, with knees in the wrong place and six toes, one of the most startling monsters since the “Chicken Lady” at the end of Freaks. “Dren” is the result of a composite performance by Abigail Chu and Delphine Chanéac; they’re collaborating on something that has the treacherous fairy-inestrus look of an Aubrey Beardsley drawing.

Dren is first a pinafored toddler playing with dolls. Later, she’s something wilder and larger, with a barbed prehensile tail. One’s not sure what’s worse about Dren: the human half or the indefinable cocktail of animals that share its makeup.

Whether Brody was hired because of his resemblance to Jeff Goldblum in The Fly, or whether he was brought on as a debonair registrar of shock, he’s right in the part: he’s tightly directed and plays the comedy straight.

Polley looks better than she has in years—she has a touch of succulence for once. The wild story seems to invigorate this actress usually used for her moodiness and tense intelligence. She gives her lines so much snap they sound like ad-libs: dragged into a meeting for what her boss calls “a dog and pony show,” she quips, “I could splice a dog and a pony!” There’s also an interesting reversal in the usual plot—Clive

wants a baby, Elsa doesn’t, the result of her own trauma about insanity in the family.

When Clive tries to elicit a more specific diagnosis, she snarls, “If you could understand crazy, it wouldn’t be crazy.”

That sums up this movie, crazy in a way that’s hard to put one’s finger on. Collaborator Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) must have encouraged the use of practical effects, puppetry and costumes and only sparing amounts of CGI. That fictional film about Bride of Frankenstein, Gods and Monsters, included a nice mutterance from Ian McKellen. Playing the retired director James Whale, McKellen has a laugh at the expense of Una Merkel “gobbling like a turkey,” but then he catches himself, rumbling, “We never laugh at the monster; the monster is noble.” Dren, a child of Frankenstein, evinces that kind of eerie nobility.

Splice’s crafty underpinnings and its subtext about the terrors of childraising and Freudian resentments have great timeliness. Every fourth movie today is about child rearing and the traumas of night feedings and diaper changes.

The film evokes delightful menace in its symphonic score and the titles, with words spelled in veins and pulsing ceratoid on some diseased skin. The colors vibrate—hot electric blues and spicy barbecue-sauce reds—and the film benefits from undeniable sophistication in the pervy comedy, in the diabolically clever way the beast turns this happy couple against each other. This movie looks well bred.

A

AN JOSEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S Dine Downtown event offers food lovers and bargain hunters alike an opportunity to sample the depth and breadth of restaurants in the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central district. The event comes at a key moment for downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant scene.

Once upon a time, the rap on downtown San Jose used to be that is was a good place to eat lunch, but it became a ghost town with few restaurant options once the sun set.

That was never completely true, but these days there has never been such a range of restaurants to choose fromâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;day or night.

More than 30 restaurants will offer special three-course menus from $20 to $40 per person during Dine Downtown, June 2â&#x20AC;&#x201C;12. On the opening day of the event,

downtown restaurants will offer complimentary samples of their food from 11:30am to 2pm.

The recession may be starting to ebb, but good food deals are always in season. Given all the choices, the toughest part may be deciding where to go.

For Italian food, La Pastaia, Il Fornaio and Bella Mia ďŹ t the bill. Steak lovers fare particularly well with restaurants like Mortonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the Grill on the Alley and Arcadia, a modern steakhouse owned by celebrity chef Michael Mina.

Modern Vietnamese food?

19Market and E&O Trading Co. have it covered. Or how about Cajun-Vietnamese fusion? Gumbo Jumbo is the place. Chinese food?

Consider Pagoda and P.F. Changâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Fresh seafood? Hawgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seafood Bar is the place to go. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the

Silicon Valley Capital Club, a private restaurant high atop the Knight Ridder building thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open to the public for the Dine Downtown event.

The views from the window and decks are worth the elevator ride alone.

One of the recent trends downtown is the emergence of upscale ethnic food restaurants, traditional food from around the world served in a reďŹ ned setting.

Places like Mezcal, 19Market, Moroccoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Azucar are introducing regional foods from Vietnam, Morocco and Latin America to a wider audience while still staying true to their culinary roots.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s particularly exciting about downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dining scene is its dynamism. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ever evolving.

Five years ago, the restaurant scene looked different from today, and in another five years

it will have changed further. The development of new high-rise condos and apartments is bringing an inf lux of new residents who crave urban amenities, good restaurants among them. The 50,000-square-foot San Pedro Public Market project currently under construction promises to offer a haven for independent restaurants, food carts and vendors. This is a good time to be eating in downtown San Jose, and it promises to get even better.

In the meantime, Dine Downtown allows the current crop of local restaurants the chance to step up their game and try to woo new customers while diners get to eat at their pick of downtown restaurants on the cheap.

GET HIM TO THE GREEK (R; 109 min.) Russell Brand’s decadent rock star Aldous Snow proved popular enough in Forgetting Sarah Marshall that director Nicholas Stoller decided to make an entire film dedicated to him. Unfortunately, what made Jason Segel’s film such a success wasn’t solely Brand’s character. Get Him to the Greek sloppily copies Marshall with Jonah Hill in the title role as a recordlabel intern acting as a babysitter for Snow. While there are definite laughs, it lacks the heart and soul its predecessor had in spades. (MM)

WOMEN WITHOUT MEN (Unrated; 95 min.) Shirin Neshat’s Women Without Men is a beautiful if mystifying adaptation of the Iranian author Shahmoush Parsipur’s short nonfiction book. It’s clearly an example of a film so entwined with a beloved book that its meaning is a little cloudy. The time is 1953, a year of living dangerously in Iran: the Western powers and the army are putting pressure on the left-wing nationalist government.

Meanwhile, a quartet of women endure male domination as best they can. One is a lady Lazarus named Munis (Shabnam Touloui).

Disinterred from a premature burial after her suicide attempt, she rises to become a political activist. Munis’ best friend, Faezeh (Pegah Ferydoni), seeks shelter in a strange walled garden outside of Tehran. The new landlady at the magical orchard is Farrokhlagha (Arita Shahrzad), who ended her marriage after her military husband suggests polygamy might be a good idea. Lastly comes the prostitute Zarin: half-mad, she wanders in to live among the trees.

(She’s pantomimed by Orsolya Tóth, a Hungarian starveling.) Moments of surprise and horror outline the

story’s fatefulness: “Everything repeats over time—hope, betrayal, fear.” Yet there’s emotional, not magical, realism in the scene of Zarin scrubbing herself clean of her work in the brothel. Deserving respect as the work of a banned writer who was imprisoned by both the shah and the ayatollah, Women Without Men is certainly aesthetically fine, but

it’s very remote: it has something of the air of the daydreamy feminism of the 1970s, a fantasy of escape from a male-ruled world into a realm where women can live together without friction. Director Neshat will be on hand for the June 5 Camera 3 screenings at 1:40 and 4:25pm.

Educated at Berkeley, Neshat is a

‘Micmacs’ A CHILDREN’S MOVIE for adults, Micmacs by Jean-Pierre Jeunet concerns a group of derelict junkyard dwellers who go adventuring. They are led by Bazil (Dany Boon), who was unmanned by the loss of his parents: one to a peacekeeping action in Morocco, the other to insanity. He grew to be a video-store clerk so rapt in movies that he could recite all the lines in The Big Sleep. One day, he was hit by a stray bullet—an accident that cost him his job and his home and leaves him vulnerable to sudden death. At loose ends, Bazil is scooped up by a group D`ZdXZj of friendly scavengers. They decide to help him expose a pair of competing arms R; 105 min. manufacturers: wealthy predators who have A film by JeanPierre Jeunet been selling weapons throughout Africa.

Opens June 4 Like Jacques Tati, Jeunet seeks out the old at Camera 7, Campbell, and brown Paris, of canal bridges, railroad stations the Aquarius, and elephantine 1950s factories. Jeunet Palo Alto (Amélie) banks on the charm of the cast, and they’re charming in wee doses. Giulietta Masina look-alike Julie Ferrier (doubled by contortionist Julia Gunthel) plays an Elastic Girl who keeps surprising us by unfolding out of nowhere. As a criminal with a good line of patter, Jean-Pierre Marielle has a Hugoesque story of how he escaped capital punishment. Yolande Moreau plays “Mama Chow”; she adds some maternal sweetness as the den mother of the group.

Pieces by the kinetic sculptor Gilbert Peyre—works that have some kinship to the art of Sebastapol sculptor Patrick Amiot—charm us just by being there. These tidbits cover up the film’s tendency to do little but marvel in its own ingenuity. Everyone here has a story of how they ended up discarded: Mama Chow’s tale is that she lost her children at the mirror maze at the fair. With its many references, borrowed Max Steiner music and tendency to seem like an eerie kid’s matinee, Micmacs also seems to vanish into the movies it reflects.ÆI`Z_Xi[ mfe 9ljXZb

Revivals CLASH OF THE TITANS

=FI<M<I M<CM<K ;\ee`j ?fgg\i `e É<c\^p#Ê fe\ f] _`j cXjk Ó cdj

Dennis Hopper THE LATE Dennis Hopper was on the cover of Metro in 1986 for an interview he did for Hoosiers, in which he played a recovering alcoholic basketball player. This was reportedly the favorite film of an actor whose career lasted some 55 years, and it was the one that got him nominated for the Oscar. As Hopper was happy to state at the time, there was plenty of real-life experience behind his work in Hoosiers; during the 1960s and 1970s, he had been an infamous drug casualty. As he put it, “I heard voices ;\ee`j ?fgg\i from the other room, and I was in a cabin where there wasn’t another room.”

1936–2010 Read more at Serious film fans knew that Hopper ought metroactive.com to have been nominated for something a little less palatable to sportsmen everywhere. That is, of course, the 1986 role for which Hopper must be remembered: Frank Booth, outwardly terrifying, inwardly infantile small-town thug, the devil in the woods in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet. Huffing some indefinable substance and re-enacting some unspeakable primal trauma, Booth is both a bad baby and a bad father, making a man out of Kyle MacLachlan’s Jeffrey the hard way. To say he punched a hole in 1980s acting is no exaggeration; I would say Hopper really punched a hole in the 1980s themselves. All props to Lynch—a reticent, conservative type himself—who urged the hiring of Hopper over the objections of conventional wisdom: “He’d been as good as gold,” Lynch explained.

The mid-1980s was his peak time, not the 1970s. He is delightful singing “Bringing in the Sheaves” in Texas Chainsaw Massacre II, and he has a memorable line about cunnilingus in The River’s Edge: another day, another haunted burnout, another lament for wastage and loneliness. A frontiersman, a patron of the arts and one of the last great method actors of the 1950s, Hopper left enough work behind for a film festival.

All one can ask is that it take place from midnight until dawn, solely during full moons.ÆI`Z_Xi[ mfe 9ljXZb

(1981) Sometimes corny but appealing war-in-heaven epic with the lovely but inert Harry Hamlin as Perseus. Animator Ray Harryhausen is the true star, creating a fine scaly Medusa haunting the shadows of a ruined temple (the scene the bad recent remake honored the most faithfully). This far more pagan original has a stellar Olympus, too, including Laurence Olivier as Zeus, Ursula Andress as Aphrodite and Maggie Smith as Hera. (Plays Jun 4-6 in San Jose at the Retro Dome.) (RvB)

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL/IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (1951/1953) Michael Rennie plays a galactic ambassador who tries to intervene in Earth’s Cold War, with the help of his metal enforcer: J. Lockard Martin plays the robot bodyguard, Gort. A prestige production in its way, with reallife journalists and commentators

LIBELED LADY/AFTER THE THIN MAN (Both 1936) Prime screwball comedy starring four MGM stars in a story of a lawsuit against a newspaper countered by connivance: William

Powell, Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Jean Harlow match wits. BILLED WITH After the Thin Man Nick (William Powell) and Nora (Myrna Loy) and Asta (herself) work to clear a friend of murder. Lurking about: Joseph Calleia—Orson Welles’ betrayed sidekick in Touch of Evil, as well as another likely suspect, the ever supercilious George Zucco.

NILES FILM MUSEUM Regularly scheduled programs of silent films. Jun 5: The Gold Rush (1925); Charlie Chaplin’s not-to-beforgotten Yukon epic, suffused with

many of his most prized bits. BILLED WITH the shorts A Busy Day (1914) and Work (1915). In Work, Chaplin is really Chaplin: first mule, then monkey, splintering a stuffy house that was already falling apart due to romantic contradictions. Contents include: an exploding stove, a revolver with unlimited bullets and mudslideworthy quantities of wallpaper paste. Yet maybe the most richly funny part is Charlie pantomiming a man soulfully telling the story of his life, tailoring the tragedy to win the sympathy of a maid. Bruce Loeb at the piano.

FEATURED LISTINGS

Tom Green

Friday–Sunday, San Jose Improv; $25 You can’t keep a weird man down, as Tom Green has proved, going from cult comedy figure to completely unlikely mainstream success (and even more unlikely boyfriendhood with Drew Barrymore, for a while) to not-in-a-good-way laughingstock (remember Freddy Got Fingered?) to the most-watched talk-show host on the web. Now, he’s back with a comedy tour that has nothing to do with his testicles. Probably. (SP)

Bloody Panda

Tuesday, 8pm, VooDoo Lounge, San Jose; $7 Atmospheric and yet still reasonably terrifying, “art-doom” is the latest subgenre to grab the ears of the metal horde. Bloody Panda does it up in epic fashion. It plays with Hans Keller and Laudanum. (SP)

John Mark McMillan Fri, 7pm, Tapestry Church, Redwood City

Hailing from North Carolina, singer/songwriter John Mark McMillan won widespread critical acclaim for his 2008 album The Medicine, establishing him as sort of the faith-based Springsteen. Now that he’s signed to a major label, the album is begetting a big rerelease with some new material, and this supporting tour. (SP)

In case you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow all the drama around the Sublime reunion, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the short version: Sublime become megastars playing reggae-ska-punk for grungy white kids with tattoos, Bradley Nowell dies, grungy white kids with tattoos roam the Earth aimlessly for 14 years with nothing to do, guitarist Bud Gaugh and bassist Eric Wilson decide to put the band back together, some 20-year-old NorCal guy no one has ever heard of named Rome Ramirez takes over vocals, Nowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family threatens to sue, the new band says Ale\ stop trying to keep the message of Sublime away from grungy J_fi\c`e\ white kids, Nowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family says the grungy white kids can have 8dg_`k_\Xki\ the music as long as no one calls it Sublime, the band plays anyway, Nowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family gets an injunction, and ďŹ nally the whole *)%,' thing gets settled. Thus emerges the god-awful compromise â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sublime With Rome,â&#x20AC;? proving that in legal battles like this, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always the band name that loses. But hey, now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re headlining BFD, along with the Deftones, a newly returned Hole (which, against all odds, still has Courtney Love), Silversun Pickups, Spoon, Matt and Kim, Cage the Elephant, Flyleaf, Against Me!, Gaslight Anthem, the Temper Trap, Dan Black, the Limousines, Dirty Heads, the Soft Pack, Far and Middle Class Rut also perform.

Crosby, Stills and Nash NASA has ďŹ nally found a task to test the enormous processing power of its biggest supercomputers: computing the number of albums that Crosby, Stills and Nash have between them. After countless hours of work, they ďŹ nally arrived at a number: 26,584. Who knows if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right, but considering all the incestuous recording of David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Graham Nash, it just might be. There are their early projects like Buffalo SpringďŹ eld and the Byrds; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crosby, Stills and Nash; Dfe[Xp# thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crosby and Nash; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Crosby without Stills and .1*'gd Nash; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stills without Crosby and Nash; and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s DflekX`e Nash without Crosby and Stills. Basically, on their way to N`e\ip# becoming the hero band of a generationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;through protest JXiXkf^X songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ohioâ&#x20AC;? and generational anthems like their ,(Ă&#x2026; ()- version of Joni Mitchellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Woodstockâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;there was every conďŹ guration. Most recently, CSN added to the total with an album of old demos that came out this year. When NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scientists tried to add it with a recount, they accidentally added in a Neil Young variable and melted down the mainframe for good. Ă&#x2020;Jk\m\ GXcfgfc`

truth is, the really scary women—those who look like they couldn’t get in to see Dr. Finkelstein so they booked Dr. Frankenstein instead—are mostly found at Hollywood parties.

I’d say what’s out everywhere is visible plastic surgery—the kind that makes you notice the surgery instead of the girl. But, contrast those tiny little things who look like they had two rogue planets bolted to their ribcage with Kate Hudson, who recently went from pretty-well flat to a politely perky C. You’d really never know, but for the fact she’s a movie star, not a salesclerk at JCPenney: “Breaking news . . . massive oil spill in the Gulf, and Kate Hudson has new boobs.”

Starting around 2000, ultra low-rise jeans were in, but looking like you had a furry little pet peeking out from them was not. With the growth of Internet porn, and porn culture merging into mainstream culture, women started wearing underwear the size of a postage stamp.

There are men who are creeped out by a woman in her 30s who looks like she has yet to hit puberty. But, according to my research, most women under 30 at

least trim, and a good many opt for totally barenaked ladyparts. Many men, especially younger men, trim, and a few go for the full-bare “boyzilian.” Eek. Some women and men are even making the hairless downstairs a permanent thing with laser hair removal. They seem to be forgetting that fashions change. Just as all those ugly ’70s styles came back, the ’fro down below could eventually be in again—good news, I suppose, for people who sell press-on goatees and dermatologists in the business of installing hair plugs.

In a mob hit, instead of making up some ruse involving fresh cannoli, they’d say “Tommy, come over, we’re gonna garrote you.” To make tough situations easier, we all lie or tell just enough of the truth to get the point across: “It’s not you, it’s me . . .” No need to get into the hurtful specifics: “. . . and how I hate the way you look, smell, talk, and chew, and that weird snorting

thing you do in bed.” With either one, the takeaway is the same: “It’s over.

Move on.” Much as you feel you deserve the truth, having it isn’t always the best thing. It’s his half-truth—“I need to be alone”—that sets you free (to find somebody else), and the whole truth—“I need to be alone to write up my JDate profile”—that keeps you too busy screaming that he’s a patronizing coward who shops for pants in the little boys’ department.

A handful of casting directors then chimed in that plastic surgery is out. Of course, it’s always been out for some (picture Meryl Streep and Judi Dench sitting around pondering, “To DDD or not to DDD . . .”)

While this reported trend in looking natural seems part of the trend toward grass-fed beef, hemp lingerie and “Hey, you crashed your Prius into my electric golf cart!” it’s good to remember that there’s a trend in the media to come up with trends. The

The

of speculation about its intended role: Advanced temporary satellite?

Satellite repair vehicle? Mobile weapons platform? The air force isn’t saying much.

DARPA has had its share of flops and boondoggles. The 9/11 attacks prompted a couple: (1) an Information Awareness Office, which would have snooped into everything from medical records to emails without a search warrant looking for terrorists, and (2) a IAO offshoot called FutureMAP, designed to harness the power of the free market to predict terrorist activity—essentially an online futurestrading game allowing the public to bet on when and where the next attack would occur. Both programs were killed after Congress squawked, although some IAO projects were just transferred to other agencies. DARPA also spent years trying to develop a futuristic superbomb using the metal hafnium that could double as a power source for Strategic Defense Initiative lasers. The project was ridiculed by the scientific community as contrary to the laws of physics and wound up wasting tens of millions of dollars.

I promised I wouldn’t spill about DARPA’s most secret ongoing projects, so I’ll have to disappoint you there.

But even the ones that have been made public sound like science fiction: • Implanting circuits into beetles to remotely control them.

• Powered armor exoskeletons for infantry, as envisioned in the 1959 Robert Heinlein novel Starship Troopers, the Iron Man movies, etc.

• Flying cars. Yes, we’ve been hearing about these since roughly the time the Cubs last won the World Series.

Hope never dies.

DARPA’s 2010 budget request lists hundreds of projects totaling just over $3 billion, peanuts compared to the overall defense budget of nearly twothirds of a trillion dollars. But cost doesn’t correlate with coolness. Take powered armor—if I weren’t on the phone all day with Orszag, BP and those guys, I’d work on that one for free.

We may be able to use you on the team. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is the U.S. Defense Department’s R&D arm. It was founded in 1958 to help the country compete in the space race after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, but its mission changed a year later when most of its space operations were spun off to form NASA. The agency didn’t drop all the rocket stuff, though. It worked on ballistic missile defense and created the Vela program, which used satellites to verify that the Soviet Union was adhering to the 1963 nuclear test ban treaty.

DARPA branched out into weapons development during the Vietnam war and since then has gotten into a wide range of military and general scientific projects.

DARPA is known for its commitment to unorthodoxy—no concept is too far out. It doesn’t run big labs but rather farms out projects to universities and private corporations. The most famous DARPA brainchild is an early computer network called ARPANET, created to facilitate collaboration among industry and university researchers. That was the beginning of the Internet. DARPA-funded researchers anticipated Google Street View by 28 years with their Aspen Movie Map, a 3-D walkthrough of Aspen, Colo. Other DARPA research explores unintended uses for existing technology.

While those projects were out in the open, much DARPA work understandably is done on the QT. The Sea Shadow, a radar-resistant ship that looks like a floating stealth fighter, was built in the early ’80s and operated in secret till 1993. The reusable unmanned spacecraft known as the Boeing X-37—a NASA project taken over by DARPA circa 2004— was successfully launched into orbit in April. Resembling a miniature space shuttle, the X-37 has inspired plenty
