Wal-Mart encourages employee blog
On the same blog, a video game buyer for Wal-Mart slammed a "Star Wars" film as a "debacle" even though Wal-Mart still sells the movie. Known for its strict, by-the-books culture - accepting a cup of coffee from a supplier can be a firing offense - Wal-Mart is now encouraging its merchants to speak frankly, even critically, about the products the chain carries. This unusual new Web site, which was quietly created during the holiday shopping season, has become a forum for unvarnished rants about gadgets, raves about new video games and advice on selecting environmentally sustainable food. .
Film imagines bond linking heiress, butler
Bernard and Doris is an unusual romance about a modern pauper and princess. The HBO movie, starring Ralph Fiennes and Susan Sarandon, will premiere tonight. The premium service describes the story as an "imagined relationship" between two real-life characters: Irish butler Bernard Lafferty and billionaire tobacco heiress Doris Duke, who hired him in 1987. In the enchanting, bittersweet dual portrait, the relationship is intimate yet conflicted, racked by co-dependency. Doris is a demanding, fast-living grande dame. Bernard is a tormented gay man from humble origins to whom Doris becomes an obsession. Director Bob Balaban says he liked the story by screenwriter Hugh Costello, "and when Susan became interested and Ralph jumped aboard, it didn't occur to me not to do it." The film -- shot in 20 days at a century-old estate with 300 acres of gardens and a 23-room mansion on New York's Long Island -- never hints at penny-pinching, although Balaban says it was made on a bare-bones $500,000 budget.

Mac Bloggers Update OS X, Upgrade Apple TV, Ponder Missing iPhones
"The new version of Apple TV makes the device somewhat more appealing to the small group of people who already do a lot of video on iTunes. It's not a large group, and at this price, most of them could just as easily turn to their cable video on demand system to watch movies," James McQuivey, a vice president of research and analyst for Forrester, told MacNewsWorld.
