Yeah, I’m a Mac Fanboy
Made that realization as I was driving down to Carousel to wait an hour in line to buy a copy of the new Mac OSX, dubbed Leopard. I never thought I’d do something like that. I was just gonna blow off the big kick off at 6, but I had a friend who was going…

What the? Strange Icon for XLS…
Recently, I was downloading an excel file in Firefox on Mac. In the download manager, I got this strange looking jack-in-the-box icon: Strange, indeed. Never saw that for any other downloads.

Really Expensive Cat Toy?
When you’re not using your MacBook Pro for productivity, it makes a fine cat amusement. Aw, how cute. Cute, until that screen gets all clawed up, anyway…

SmackBook
Way cool, someone has hacked the motion sensor in the new Macbooks so you can use it to swap desktops. Give your Mac a little tap on the side to go from OSX to Windows. Ha! See it in action. (Via)

Cool Video of the Day: Parallels on a MacBook
The Unofficial Apple Weblog had a link to a slick video demo of fast operating system switching with Parallels on a new MacBook. They start off in OSX, flip over to Windows XP (where they download and install Firefox, hehe), and then bump over to Ubuntu. I can’t tell if the emulation/virtualization itself is fast…
