I mentioned in a previous post today that I have not been using my Newsvine column (blog) much, and indeed that has been true, but I think I am going to start using that for posting links to interesting articles I come across in a day. They might be about anything from Apple and technology,…

Apple Updates Entire Desktop Line
Apple updated not one, not two, but all three of their desktop models today, announcing speed, storage, graphics, and other enhancements to the Mac mini, the iMac, and Mac Pro. As they typically do, prices remained the same (or went down) on all of the upgraded models. Perhaps most notably was the 24″ iMac now…
Sabres Lose Top Stars, Clinging to Playoff Hopes
The Sabres seem to have plenty of bad luck in the injury department. Not just this season, but nearly every season. A few years ago, they made it to game seven of the conference finals, but most likely lost because they had one starting defenseman who was healthy! Many of the defensemen have missed time…
Video: Plane Crash – and Rescue – in the Hudson River
I’m certain you’ve heard of the improbable circumstances surrounding the plane crash (and survival of all aboard) last week in NYC. Came across this video today from the Coast Guard camera that watches the events unfold.
"Surprise" Guest on This Week in Tech
I often listen to podcasts while I work (at my home office), and frequently, they are produced by twit.tv. This afternoon, I began listening to the latest episode of the main show, This Week In Tech (TWIT), and there was a surprise guest… Geordi La Forge! š Didn’t know he was so much of a…

Well, the keynote is over, and the announcements have been made (iLife ’09, iWork ’09, iWork.com, new 17″ MacBook Pro, and even a DRM-free iTunes!) And while there was no Steve… there were some pretty neat things. Check out the extensive video tutorials for both iWork ’09 and iLife ’09. Some really amazing new features…
No Steve Jobs = No Fun?
Today at 1pm EDT, Apple fans all around the world will be tracking the always greatly anticipated announcements to come from the keynote presentation at the annual Macworld Convention and Expo in San Francisco, CA. But this year, the keynote will be a bit different. And perhaps less highly anticipated than usual? No Steve Jobs….
Bailouts
As you are well aware, I do not frequently comment on things in the political realm here. Mostly because it either seems irrelevant to me, or too annoying to talk about anyway. (Or, too volatile to post thoughts here… why are some people so tied to their political thoughts/beliefs/affiliations??) But today I saw the first…
Smart Voter
I was curious who else was on the NY State ballot for the impending election, and stumbled upon this site with a list of each candidate as well as some cursory information and links to more. Thought that was pretty cool. They call the site “Smart Voter”, and boy would that be nice. It is…
Apple: Spotlight on Notebooks
Apple is holding another event tomorrow, simply billed as “Spotlight on Notebooks“. As I’ve said before, I’ll refrain from any speculative comments re: what we might see, since I am now employed by Apple. I’ll be working there tomorrow, so I’m sure we’ll all be following the announcements as they come (as much as we…
