Review: 'The Hunger Games' finally hits theaters and, yes, LVWeekly is disappointed - Friday, March 23, 2012 | 6 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun
Battle Royale and its friends are the obvious comparisons. The comparison with Series 7: The Contenders is much more obscure but probably more accurate. It covers a lot of popular themes though so it's not surprising that there are lots of comparisons to make.

Gore, Ex-Apple Engineers Team Up to Blow Up the Book | Gadget Lab | Wired.com
App-as-distribution-model rubs me the wrong way a bit but the interactivity is pretty compelling. Success here is all in the production tooling (I think). The app is a modern hypercard runtime + content deck.

Manning: Brownfield Application Development in .NET
"Most software developers have inherited a monolithic application where the day-to-day tasks involve maintenance, incremental improvements, or even cleaning up the mess another programmer left behind. These legacy or brownfield projects often have tightly coupled components, low cohesion, and poor separation of concerns, making them fragile and resistant to change."
