'jOBS' biopic to close Sundance Film Festival in January: "In an announcement on Monday, the Sundance Film Festival revealed that the jOBS biopic starring Ashton Kutcher will premier on the last day of the event which runs from Jan. 17 to 27, and will take the honor of being the event's closing film."

I actually think this is some good casting, as Kutcher was an engineering student before he wised up and became a celebrity.

Gangnam Style Is YouTube's Most Popular Video With 804 Million Views - Peter Kafka - Media - AllThingsD
Thursday was Thanksgiving. Yesterday was Black Friday. And today is Gangnam Style Day — the day the world’s most-popular-but-not-sure-why video became the most popular video on YouTube ever, with some 804 million views."

Not only is it the world's most popular YouTube video, but in the 10 days or so since I first heard about it (late to the party), it added 300 million views. Which points to exponential growth.

Steve Jobs film to consist entirely of scenes before product unveilings: "The award winning screenwriter scripting a movie on the life of Steve Jobs has revealed that the entire film will consist of three scenes that will take place before the unveiling of the original Mac, NeXT, and the iPod."

Review: iPad mini: "It’s important to understand how I use my iPad. My iPad is the device I use at the end of the day when I put my computer down, but still have a few things to do. I’m winding down at that point in the day."

This just in: love for the iPad Mini.

Final Cut Pro X gets significant update with new features & RED camera support

Final Cut Pro X gets significant update with new features & RED camera support: "The Final Cut Pro X update also includes RED camera support with native REDCODE Raw editing, as well as optional background transcode to Apple ProRes."

'iPad mini' build cost estimated to start at $200, may retail for $299

'iPad mini' build cost estimated to start at $200, may retail for $299
A preliminary breakdown of expected component and manufacturing costs finds that Apple is likely to spend $195 to $254 in building the various models of its rumored 7.85-inch iPad"

I think the Mini will need to be more than $299 unless they are offering less storage than the iPod 5G. Why would anyone buy a $299 iPod 5G if they can get a mini iPad for the same price?
