    The Dark Knight

    the role took control of his life.

    Credit to Perez:

    This article from The New York Times published just two months ago shed a new light on the untimely death of Heath Ledger:

    “I stressed out a little too much,” Mr. Ledger said.

    He tends to do that. He is here in London filming the latest episode of the “Batman”franchise, “The Dark Knight.” (Mr. Bale, as it happens, plays Batman; Mr. Ledger plays the Joker.) It is a physically and mentally draining role — his Joker is a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” he said cheerfully — and, as often happens when he throws himself into a part, he is not sleeping much.

    “Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” he said. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” One night he took an Ambien, which failed to work. He took a second one and fell into a stupor, only to wake up an hour later, his mind still racing.

    Even as he spoke, Mr. Ledger was hard-pressed to keep still. He got up and poured more coffee. He stepped outside into the courtyard and smoked a cigarette. He shook his hair out from under its hood, put a rubber band around it, took out the rubber band, put on a hat, took off the hat, put the hood back up. He went outside and had another cigarette. Polite and charming, he nonetheless gave off the sense that the last thing he wanted to do was delve deep into himself for public consumption. “It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself,” is how he put it, a little apologetically.

    You would be surprised. I work in IT and I'm getting 3 of those for my clients. Neither of them are heavy travelers but they want something light when they leave town. I'm sure I'll have around 10 orders by the weekend. People said the same thing about the iPhone, it's too expensive and almost nobody will buy it and now we've seen the numbers...

    My fault I left out the people with money to throw away.

    :rolleyes:

    The iPhone seems WAY more practical than the Air.

    The Air seems silly to me.

    They're going to be hitting a very small market with this product.

    Why not use the developmental $$$ elsewhere?

    Not getting much of the overall marketshare here.

    The people I can see going for this are jouralists and extremely heavy travelers.

    Of course, by targeting jouralists, Apple gets media and press coverage, blah.

    Usually I'm all over the latest innovation or release, but this one is just disappointing.
