    This is an interesting find. I believe its a great idea. http://laptop.media.mit.edu/ The design really caught my eye, I think that kids will really latch onto this. Any educators out there that can comment on this?

    A question to ponder...

    I have always felt that since the shift to OS X, Apple is poised to move into other areas of business that it does not already occupy (i.e real applications in business solutions). With the advent of the Xserve (as well as the accompanying technology of RAID, Xsan, etc) it is moving closer to...

    free stuff referral etiquette

    I was curious about the etiquette regarding the "free stuff for referral" (i.e. freeipods.com, etc) on MacOSX.com. I want to get some free stuff, but dont want to abuse the site for my "referrals" if it is frowned upon. I wanted to ask before I started to put it into my profile, etc. Thanks.

    Microsoft Names Upcoming OS

    Saw this on CNN.com http://money.cnn.com/2005/07/22/technology/microsoft_vista/index.htm?cnn=yes I plugged the new 'name' into my handy Dashboard Dictionary, and got a good laugh at the definition. 'a pleasing view, esp. one seen though a long, narrow opening' (i.e. tunnel vision, hah!)...

    USB Mouse issues after Tiger install

    I have experienced issues with an iMac G5 having mouse lock-up after Tiger has been installed. The issue only arises after the computer has been started after shut down. When it is put to sleep, the mouse doesn't lock up. This has been the issue with 2 different USB mice. The only fix thus far...

    "The code has changed...Its like nothing I've ever seen..."

    Hehe, sorry, a little Matrix humor. I loaded Tiger last night and today noticed that RedPill, my Matrix Screensaver (Nerd, I know, dont say it! ;) ), doesnt render like it did before. Instead of the weird text, they are simply green blocks falling from the top of the screen, very strange. I...
