Apparently the "San Francisco Festival of Fantastic Film" is ironically named, because they're going to be premiering the latest Uwe Boll tripe, "Postal," on August 11. For those of you unfamiliar, Uwe is sort of like a modern day Ed Wood, only his films aren't even unintentionally funny.

The Apple Store's at One Stockton Street. Thursday: New......

Watching our pals over in Gotham City get all excited about the new Big Apple Store just left us feeling vaguely melancholy and nostalgic for when the opening of an Apple Store was a source of excitement here in the bay area.
