The UI is definitely slick, but it definitely has some quirks, some annoying. Some random observations:
So, anecdotally, it looks like Google's anti-blog-spam campaign may be working. A handful of easy changes to my home blog seems to have helped tremendously:
So, out of curiosity, has anyone seen the guts of a Mini-mac yet ? The pictures I've seen on Apple's site -- particularly one of the motherboard and one with the cover removed -- give you some ideas -- compact motherboard, RAM on one side, skinny optical drive on top, mini-speaker in f
My wife's company would like to transfer her to an office in their Swiss office in Lucerne / Luzern, but she's got baggage -- me.

GarageBand looks okay and all, but they totally dropped the ball on the name. For one thing, they broke then "clever" iName scheme that the rest of the iLife suite uses.
