Is there a point in buying an iPhone 5?

Adrienne Price

Is there a point in buying an iPhone 5?  On principle alone, you shouldn’t buy the newest tech toy because it inevitably comes down in price or is replaced by something better very shortly after its appearance in the market. So, is it truly worth it? Pros: The screen is bigger so that means more apps fit on it. It’s faster than the 4S. It has a panorama mode and the camera is better (even though it is still only 8 megapixels). You’ll make your friends jealous. It has all the updates that iOS 6 had, unlike the iPhone 4 … Continue reading Is there a point in buying an iPhone 5?

The Tree (2010 film)

The Tree (2010)

“The Tree” is an independent movie, starring Charlotte Gainsbourg (see Melancholia), in which a young girl’s father dies when he crashes into a tree. She believes that he is in the tree and therefore decides to live in the tree, to be close to him. Drama happens when the tree begins to uproot this once stable family.
