"Both great typographers and also great theologians strive to make their work an "invisible art." They facilitate a process by which ideas are conveyed (in the case of typography) from one person to another or (in the case of theology) from God to his creations, without causing a distraction or drawing attention to themselves."

“Social Network” is smart, lively, well-acted and -- this is key -- raises questions and issues that are both timeless and totally of the moment.
Oh, sure, you probably spent time palavering after seeing “Inception” this summer, but that was trying to figure out just what the hell actually happened. How many dream levels were there again? And why were they mucking around in all that snow near the end?
In a way, “Social Network” seems almost a throwback to the great movies of the late 1960s and ‘70s. It taps into the zeitgeist. It’s about what’s happening now. Right now. And it has a viewpoint -- well, actually, a bunch of them.
In the same way that “Bonnie and Clyde,” “Taxi Driver” and “The Godfather” were all provocative films, so is “Social Network.” Like those earlier movies (but without the torrent of bullets and actual blood), it raises questions about who’s good, what’s right and the definition of success in America.

[Federer's] an old man in tennis years. Especially since he's never injured and always played. Getting bounced in the quarters is supposed to be some sort of embarrassment now? No one else is close to sniffing 36 straight quarter.
This is like writing an article about how sad LeBron is if he's averaging 15 ppg when he's 42 years old.

Comaring python to Java is like comparing a bicyle to a car. Sure, it’s easier to learn to ride and you don’t need to struggle with the licencse, but as soon as you want to go more than 10 miles (“write an enterprise application”), the only choice of the two is the car.
