MacWorld 2008
I forgot to mention this on the show: Tuesday was the start of the annual MacWorld Expo. Tuesday was also the day Apple CEO gave his keynote presentation. The stuff he announced was great!
First, he announced updates for the iPhone and iPod touch. The updates are great! The option to have multiple home screens, arrange them as you like among others are awesome, but the USD20 price tag for the iPod touch update (which includes 5 new apps) is unreasonable (anyone who wants to sign a petition on this can go here).
Second, he announced a companion product to the Time Machine feature in Leopard, Time Capsule, which you can use to backup wirelessly.
Third, he announced movie rentals on iTunes. You can now rent movies on iTunes, which you have 30 days to start watching it, and 24 hours to finish it.
Fourth , and most importantly, he announced MacBook Air. The MacBook Air is the thinnest notebook computer in the world. When I was watching the keynote, he was showing the thickness on a Sony TZ series, then he showed how thin the MacBook Air was and my jaw dropped and I couldn't close it for about 20 seconds. It goes for USD1,700.
Although, all of these announcements have no relation to me whatsoever (I don't have an iPhone or iPod touch, I don't have Leopard, the iTunes store doesn't exist in Hong Kong and I don't need an ultraportable), these announcements are great. I can't wait to see what Steve has planned for WWDC.

Just discovered this blog though the Ustream chat this morning (Fr Roderick's Daily Breakfast).
Yes, I think a new name for the blog/cast would be good. Why not something with the name Gabriel in it? Gabriel is a messenger of God's word...
