Dear John
The movie had flaws but my favorite scene was 1:15:30-1:22. If you don’t want to watch the whole movie, just stream it on Netflix and watch these seven minutes.
It intrigued me that they set the scene in a hallway. Very interesting choice (by either the author or the screenwriter).

kinect meets MLB?
http://is.gd/hu2tC
The implications of motion-capture technology and baseball are really interesting, especially if they can prevent injuries to little-league and high-school players who otherwise would have had a shot at the majors.
