- Totally Sidetalkin' – mocking recent trends in the mobile phone industry. Be sure to look at the G5 photo at the bottom of the page.

The Joy of Tech with your favourite team of Mac agents. The first image was quite cool in a Reservoir Dogs-ish way I though. The second one makes good use of Mac patterns. Only brushed metal suits, sadly, no pinstripes...
-
Dave has some additional observations on OS X.3.
-
Ars Technica on the topic of quality control at Apple. (Strangley they won't let you link the the full article while it's still fresh). It's quite poor as had the sad opportunity to note already.
-
An odd lesson on taste in the press copyright. Why does it take the
Holocaust lobby
to enforce reasonable use of copyrights? – questionable copyrights even. Why should anybody have more of a few years worth of copyright on magazines? Considering the Tomorrow, today's news is yesterday's news

German's are Europe's rubbish chutes when it comes to food. Odd, I thought the English were, juding from the taste. Still the article gives good reasoning along the lines of 'people will go and buy the cheap stuff because they know they're being sold junk anyway'. It also offers the advice that if you eat something that tastes like meat but isn't, you'll be likely to need a chocolate bar later to compensate for its nutritional shortcomings. Thus eliminating all the 'advantages' in price and calorie intake of course.
