Average order value was also higher, at $118....

Barnum in The Greatest Showman, and he recently joined the star-studded animated film, Larrikins. After that, though, it looks like Jackman will venture into the young-adult genre.

HTML 5 comes with a very nice Drag and Drop JavaScript API that brings native Drag and Drop support to the browser. This makes coding DnD much easier. The specification defines an event based mechanism (dependent on JavaScript and markup) for declaring that most HTML elements be draggable on a page. This native support results in faster, more responsive web apps.

Explaining the growing popularity of the Mac, he said: “As we’ve seen with consumers, small and medium businesses (SMBs) as well as large organizations are starting to consider the possibility of deploying more Macs within their corporate environment." Why’s this happening? Well, we know it’s down to the iPod halo, the iPhone halo, the Mac halo, the OS X halo and the sheer media love-in surrounding Steve Jobs. We also know it’s because of the vexations of Vista, the lack of interest in any but the high-budget Windows machines, and finally, well, let’s just say it’s the software, stupid… What this comes down to, according to the IDC analyst, is that business users as well as consumers are flocking to the Mac, “because of the company’s positive mindshare within the IT user market,” the analyst said, adding, “among other reasons....

The decade of excess is responsible for some of the most impressive movie monsters in cinema. Suddenly the horror, sci-fi, and slasher genres were augmented with more robust villains than ever before as visual and practical effects became more innovative and realistic. Creature creators like Stan Winston and Ray Barker created monster icons for stories by directors like Wes Craven, James Cameron, and John Carpenter. These directors overhauled the cheesy aliens of the ’50s, the slow-moving zombie tropes of the ’60s, and the shuffling slasher archetypes of the ‘70, and in their place were oppressive killing machines that couldn’t be stopped....
