Gillian Flynn's Utopia is a twisted conspiracy thriller at its core. Centered on a group of fans obsessed with dissecting the comic book called Utopia, their lives are upended when they discover Utopia's pages actually predict future epidemics — putting them in the crosshairs of the bioterrorist Mr. Rabbit. While it would seem that Utopia might be based on an actual comic, Utopia is based on a 2013 British show by Dennis Kelly, though the two versions ultimately tell very different stories.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, released on October 26, 2007, was the biggest change to Mac OS X since Apple first released OS X 10.0 in March 2001. For the first time, a version of OS X was certified as Unix, and the new unified appearance makes Leopard friendlier and less confusing for users. Leaving the Comfort of a Windows Operating System for Pastures New. I’ve been in IT for years. 20 odd if you’re counting and I’ve always been a big fan of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Granted, some have been pretty dire, but I’ve gone through the motions with all of them to try and immerse myself in the Microsoft dream and to be fair I have enjoyed it.

While Flynn's show is a pretty tension-inducing, realistic thriller, Kelly's Utopia was more of a black comedy show that aired on Channel 4 from January 2013 to August 2014. In Kelly's version, Utopia revolved around a high-level government conspiracy to solve overpopulation by employing secret sterilization methods. Its surreal tone and outlandish plot struck a chord with viewers, and though the show was canceled after two seasons, it ended up gaining a cult following.

In an interview with Channel 4, Kelly explained that production company Kudos approached him about making the series. 'Kudos came to me with an idea, and it was about a conspiracy hidden inside a graphic novel,' he explained. 'It was very embryonic, and a bit more comic-book. I think the conspiracy was quite ‘illuminati.' What I really liked was the idea of this thing that just randomly happened to get hidden in a graphic novel.'

While Kelly said he's not exactly a big fan of graphic novels, that germ of an idea fascinated him for other reasons. 'What I do like is a conspiracy. I never believe in any of them, but I like them from an aesthetic point of view,' he explained. 'It amazes me that people genuinely believe that the moon landings didn't happen. It's incredible how many people believe that. Fiction and fact have become strangely blended in all sorts of ways.'

Ultimately Kelly's Utopia didn't bring in enough viewers, and the series was canceled. It was Gone Girl director David Fincher who eventually introduced author Gillian Flynn to the property, and they saw an opportunity to adapt Kelly's work for American audiences. Though HBO passed on the series and Fincher's busy schedule pulled him off the project, Flynn continued to work on the script for six years until it found a home at Amazon Prime Video.

'I spoke to [Flynn] and saw some of the scripts,' Kelly told The New Zealand Heraldin 2017. 'They were brilliant. There were bits of it I was really jealous of. They changed it, but in a really smart way.'

As befitting of the Sharp Objects and Dark Places author, Flynn's version features a lot of startling violence and morally grey women, particularly the brutal Utopia protagonist Jessica Hyde (Sasha Lane). And the threats in Flynn's universe are all too prescient: concerns over a widely spreading pandemic and mass shootings fill many episodes. The big bad here isn't a government bent on curbing population growth, but an organization trying to end humanity with a virus that spreads through animals.

'Dennis Kelly’s version is really sleek. It’s really poppy. It’s just its own particular world. I really wanted to do my own version of it,' Flynn explained to Rolling Stone. 'I wanted it to feel very, very realistic.'

Though Flynn's work has obvious callbacks to Kelly's story, Kelly told Den of Geek that ultimately he gave Flynn his blessing to interpret Utopia in her own way. 'She obviously wanted to make it her own. She was always really lovely to me, but I felt like the last thing you want is ‘that bloke’ hanging around going, ‘do it like this,' Kelly said. 'She’s making her show, even though some of the ideas might be taken from mine, it’s her show and if it were me, I wouldn’t want someone else to be around. I stepped back and let her do her thing.'

I’ve been in IT for years…. 20 odd if you’re counting and I’ve always been a big fan of the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Granted, some have been pretty dire, but I’ve gone through the motions with all of them to try and immerse myself in the Microsoft dream and to be fair I have enjoyed it…

That being said, over the years I have from time to time dipped my toe into what is known as… ‘The Dark Side’.

I’ve always thought of it as more of a standalone operating system. I’m not sure why, but many of the companies I’ve supported over the years have nearly always had Windows environments.

The odd Mac that sat off the network, wasn’t controlled by Active Directory and was generally left alone by all the IT bods that visited site.

This was mainly from fear of not actually knowing what the hell they were doing with it.

It’s that age-old thing. Once you’ve touched it, that’s it. You touched it last and therefore it’s your problem if it breaks again.

Over the years I’ve owned several Apple laptops and desktops and just seemed to have a fiddle, put it back in the box and that was that.

It never really clicked in my head what the fascination was with Apple… Just use Windows. It’s easier, right?

I’ve always been an iPhone and iPad user, they just work. So, what’s so different with the MacOS?

Goodbye Utopia Mac Os Catalina

I factory reset my shiny Microsoft Surface laptop (which I loved) and decided that at 41 I now needed to finally see what all the fuss is about…

Not just have a tinker with it at home but actually work with it … day in day out to see if I could retrain my Microsoft brain to actually use it.

So, the new Mac arrived on a Tuesday morning, I made a start on running through the setup, and to be fair I have done this many times before so it didn’t take too long.

After about 20 mins I was done and logging into Office 365 via the web, pretty straight forward.

I decided I’d take the Mac with me on a little road trip and see how I got on with it whilst out and about.

So, I shut the lid and out I went.

I arrived at the customers site, sat down in the meeting room, opened the lid and pressed the power button.

After about 5 minutes of repeating this I finally got some message about a failed or corrupt operating system which was just what I wanted. Not.

So back in my bag it went, and I ended up taking notes with a pen and pad…

Now who does that in 2019?

On arrival back to the office I erased the disk and reloaded the operating system from the recovery partition and proceed to set it back up again. 20 mins later I was done and back working, I then proceeded to setup and install all the applications that I required, such as office 2016, antivirus, our Two-Factor Authentication product and various other bits and pieces which to be fair was pretty painless.

I then setup various other system preferences such as being able to unlock the device via my apple watch and finger print reader etc… Again all pretty easy.

Now the fun began. After years and years of working with Microsoft Office on a windows operating system I thought, how different can it be?

5 days in and I think I can live with this. I have learnt that despite the different interface, the use of completely different terminology and a wrath of other stuff, the Mac Operating System is alright.

It doesn’t take THAT much getting used to and if I’m honest it’s pretty simple. It’s quite intuitive to use and I actually like it.

Yep I said it.

It’s still early days but I’m determined to give it a good go. I’m sure along the way I will find things that I think: ‘how rubbish’ and I can honestly say that I’ve already found things that I thought…

‘Why don’t they do that in Windows?!’

Anyway, so that’s it… I have finally made the jump and at this stage I’m not going back.

Famous last words.
