Well, it's a browser which includes an email client and other goodies, and that's related to Firefox (hence why it's also part of that forum I linked to). Both browsers are fairly similar and you...

I've tried it without (change in the BIOS), and it does make a significant difference. Sure, there might have been hype (sorry), but I wouldn't call it a gimmick.

Yes, sure. Film is a different medium from literature, so it's natural that there have to be some compromises, alterations and cuts. I'm fine with that and don't expect adaptations to be too faithful...

Caught the last half of it and will look out for it when it's played again. It was enjoyable in its oddness. Also the soundtrack was excellent.
