Another happy Mac convert
Great report on how this 15 year PC users became a mac addict after he bought a MacBook Pro: “A little over two weeks ago I walked into the Apple store in Palo Alto and bought myself a new MacBook Pro…. And I went home and after not using a Mac for over 15 years, put my Dell PC notebook literally in the bookshelf and have been using this new Mac as my primary computer for the past 2 weeks.And what do I have to say about the experience after two weeks?

Future NASA Exploration Launch Projects (clip)
They make it sound like this is SO high tech and ultra-advanced, when in fact the technology is from the 1960, still…. What specially makes me curious is that we never hear anything about the “beyond” part of this space initiative.

Apple products that never saw the light of (consumer) day
The primary display on the machine was a monotone LCD, but it also included a port to hook up a full color monitor.Occationally these devices show up on Ebay, or even at Swapmeets , but I was unable to find out how many of these actually made it out into the market (if anyone knows, please let me know, and I’ll update here with the info)3…. The tablet also connected with all of the Powerbook Duo accessories and docks.For further exploration of Apple Prototypes and Design Concepts, visit The Apple Museum and The Apple Collection , both sites are great resources with more prototypes and concept designs than you can shake a stick at.

Sounds to levitate living animals
When they levitated the fish and tadpole, the researchers added water to the ultrasound field every minute via syringe.The levitated ant tried crawling in the air and struggled to escape by rapidly flexing its legs, although it generally failed because its feet find little purchase in the air…. “An interesting moment was when my colleagues and I had to catch escaping ladybugs.”The ant and ladybug appeared fine after 30 minutes of levitation, although the fish did not fare as well, due to the inadequate water supply, the scientists report.”Our results may provide some methods or ideas for biology research,” Xie said.

Sony Ericsson Theme for Z550i/Z550a/Z550: “My Mac OS X Theme” (176×220)
I have created a theme for the Sony Ericsson z550 mobile phone that borrows from Mac OS X, in the attempt to make it easy on the eyes and to give a familiar environment on the cellphone…. It should work fine with all Sony Ericsson phones that use the same 176×220 pixel screen resolution.

Apple Mac OS X Tablet PC planned for 2007?
Several months ago I was told that Apple was exploring a neat new device that is basically a touch screen that links to various source devices including a brand new media centre that Apple is planning to launch next year.The Mac tablet has been designed to handle third party applications such as home automation software that will allow users to control lighting, audio, entertainment devices and security feeds. It also acts as a full blown PC has wireless linking for a new generation of Wireless Hi Fi speakers that are currently being tested by Apple.One set of speakers which are similar in size to the small Bose speakers have been developed by an Australian Company.Also taken into consideration was the use of the device in educational environments where presenters often want to walk around while having access to source material being presented to a screen or auditorium speakers.The new MAC tablet has Intel processors as well as a docking station that allows the device to link to screens with HDMI input.
