It’s always fun to see an actor of one of your favorite shows do something different.  Here, it’s Zachary Levi from NBC’s spy dramedy Chuck singing a duet with former American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee.   

Chuck is finishing its third season, but I only started watching it in January on Blu-Rays.  The show is the perfect blend of action, comedy, and romance.  50 episodes later, I’m finally caught up with only four shows remaining this season.  Chuck is borderline for renewal, but I’m hopeful for a 4th season.

Apple.com: Thoughts on Flash

A letter from Steve Jobs regarding Adobe’s Flash.

Our motivation is simple – we want to provide the most advanced and innovative platform to our developers, and we want them to stand directly on the shoulders of this platform and create the best apps the world has ever seen. We want to continually enhance the platform so developers can create even more amazing, powerful, fun and useful applications. Everyone wins – we sell more devices because we have the best apps, developers reach a wider and wider audience and customer base, and users are continually delighted by the best and broadest selection of apps on any platform.
