Fuck this hot drought bullshit. The only good thing about this heat wave is that your mozzarella sticks do not get cold. They just get stale. There’s nothing worse than cold AND stale mozzarella sticks. That’s when they become like, crusty cheese-flavored dried pudding. The kind of shit only astronauts would dare to eat.
TUAW Tip: Stationery Pad option makes a template of any file – The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)
One of the neat little features built in to OS X that makes it a pleasure to use. There are tons of hidden gems on the Mac that I find almost every day. Compare that to Windows, where the only gems you find is what crapware snuck into your system from the last website you visited.
Jeff Jones Security Blog : July 2007 – Operating System Vulnerability Scorecard
Jeff Jones, who makes a living for himself as a security consultant, has released a scorecard for operating systems as they stood around July 2007.
Not surprisingly, the charts are fodder for everyone to bolster their arguments about which OS is better, which therefore just doesn’t prove much at all… except perhaps the definition of the word “futility.”
iWeb has me all hot and bothered. You see, I really, really like the simplicity of it. I’m irritated, however, by its reliance on .Mac. I don’t have a .Mac account yet because… well… I don’t truly own a Mac for myself. I will soon, but I don’t yet. I’m keeping myself away from those special Apple anemities until I actually lay down some greenbacks and feel the full pain.
Iranian Unit to Be Labeled ‘Terrorist’ – washingtonpost.com
Uh oh. Sneaky backhanded move at play here.
I’ve heard on several occasions the past few days from various podcasts that Apple is missing the boat on a market segment for businesses – those folks that want to tear apart PC’s and work on them themselves.
Gee… didn’t I post something about that a while back? Now why am I not a celebrated blogger? Har har!
So you might find it unusual that the first blog entry concerns something that is apparently afflicting parents of all children in the U.S. – the sudden scare of lead poisoning. It seems that Mattel has hired some unscrupulous folks in China that cut a few corners and put some lead in products that made it into the hands of children.
Now, call it what you will. Sure, people everywhere can make a case for a possible invasion from China – a backhanded way at infecting our population beforehand. You could make a case of that. You could also point out that somewhere, someone was being cheap bastards (let’s see, where did the cheap bastard thing start? That’s right! In the United States! Congratulations, boys and girls!)
Groklaw – Court Rules: Novell owns the UNIX and UnixWare copyrights! Novell has right to waive!
Thus for SCO… begins the end.
Apple beats Microsoft at its own Open XML game
Couldn’t have said it better myself. I like it when I agree with people who are paid to analyze this stuff.
So lots of people are buzzing away about the new iMacs. That’s great. I’m happy about the new iMacs – they are certainly compelling. If the midrange 20″ runs half as well as this 3rd-gen Macbook Pro that landed in my possession yesterday, it’ll absolutely rock the hizzouse.
I would like to point out though – there are several quieter announcements that are a little more compelling – at least to me. For instance, the Airport Extreme Base Station now has all gigabit wired ports instead of 10/100. That’s pretty huge to lots of folks I’m sure. Oh, and it’s the same price.
