Apple - Mac OS X Leopard - Features - 300+ New Features

300+ New Features

A list of all new features for Leopard. Rumors guessing that it will either be out this Friday, or on the 26th. I wish I had a few extra bucks so I could upgrade. The added Boot Camp features, mainly being able to see and write to FAT32 partitions is worth the upgrade alone, I wish it did NTFS though.

300+ New Features

I wish Apple would hook me up with a free copy, just as Microsoft hooked me up with a free copy of Vista Business.

Slashdot's CmdrTaco Rob Malda Looks Back at 10 Years of 'News for Nerds'

The Sputnik launch isn't the only big anniversary this month; Slashdot is celebrating, too.

The influential "news for nerds" site famous for swamping unsuspecting websites with boatloads of traffic turns 10 in October, and parties are popping up all around the country.

Good old /. Can't believe it is ten years old along with Yahoo Mail.

I would like to throw on of the /. parties so I could get some free swag.

Food for Thought: Measuring Soft Drinks' Jolt, Science News Online, Aug. 25, 2007

My last "Food for Thought" column noted that elderly women may keep their wits longer by drinking lots of caffeine. In that study, the women derived their caffeine from coffee and tea. A new study offers some guidance for Golden Girls who eschew the standard caffeinated brews but still want to reap some benefit from the stimulant. Many soft drinks contain caffeine, but how much of a jolt they deliver is seldom printed on the label.

Link to a chart that shows caffeine content of diffrent pops. Good to know.
I find it odd that Jolt Cola is not on the list.
Maybe I should start drinking Diet RC, since it is cheaper and has more caffeine than Diet Coke. Also no mention of the new Diet Pepsi Max.

all of these quiet battered voices
wait for the hunger to come
we got little revolvers and stupid choices
and no one to say when we're done
(Well I don't wanna bring you down)

I wanna be the light that burns out your eyes
`cause I know there's little things about me
that would sing in the silence of so much rejection
in every connection I make
I can't find nobody home
I wanna be the last thing you hear when you're falling asleep....
