So this week the new Mac notebooks were introduced in a new casing. It looks stylish, because it's designed like the aluminium iMac series, but... as far as upgrades go, besides the looks, they really haven't a lot more to offer in comparison with the previous line. 
Frankly, I hate it. Really hate it. It's the screens. Why did they make it glossy, while knowing that every single print designer is going to hate and reject them? It's not just the MacBook and the MacBook Pro. No, The new LED Cinema Displays are provided with a shiny surface as well! They're replacing the Apple Cinema Displays. 
I don't hate them enough to reject our beloved Macs, but I hate it certainly enough to actually consider not to buy them. Although the iMac already had this problem, I didn't make much of it. Because I wasn't going to use it nearly as much as my sister, who isn't a professional. Besides that, there is no visible difference anymore between the Macbook Pro and the consumer's Macbook except for the size op it, which are 13" and 15". See for yourself.

They used let the professionals choose between the matte or glossy finish, even when most of the pro-line was produced in matte. Why, Apple, why? Why, Steve, why?

Controversial Justice
Let's talk music. 
Last year the amazing French electro duo Justice reached the globe with their infectiously cheery single D.A.N.C.E.
Earlier this year the disc jockeys have caused a riot with a video that seems to illustrate perfectly the limits of the Web as a platform for artistic expression. "Fuck that shit" is the first thing that comes to mind. 
"Seems that once again, an electronic act is under scrutiny, oh if I had a nickel for each time this happened...This time around, the merit for observation may be well deserved as Justice have just released a video which they claim is meant to evoke emotion in the viewer. They've taken precautions in regards to the video and after nearly two weeks of silence, Augé and Rosnay sought to quell the controversy by releasing a statement defending the piece as a fusion of art and entertainment. "The film was never intended as a stigmatization of the banlieue, nor an incitation to violence, nor above all, as an underhanded way to deliver a racist message," they stated. From the beginning, they said, Stress was meant to be a "clip unairable on television" for a "track unairable on the radio," and they have "refused any television broadcast of the clip, so as to impose it on no one." According to the group's record label, Because Music, the video was conceived not "as a marketing coup" but as "a parody of the way the major television channels treat the news.""
Let's see it. Stress.
