When Apple presented new editions of its MacBook line last month, the company excluded the latest Intel Centrino chips, dubbed "Santa Rosa," which had been released just days prior. The chips have found their way into Apple's new high-end MacBook Pro notebooks, which the company revealed Tuesday. Certain models use mercury-free displays, falling in line with the company's recent ecological promises.

Jerry Falwell helped convert the religious right into a major political force in the U.S. and he was able to successfully use television to transform the smaller sect of Christianity into arguably the loudest and most influential group over the last decade. Evangelical Christians are highly recognized for their effort and success in helping elect President George W. Bush into office. Falwell was 73 when he died."

Submission + - Apple Delays Leopard to October, Blames iPhone

Submitted by Stupid Mac Fanboy on Thursday April 12, 2007 @06:22PM

Stupid Mac Fanboy writes: Apple just announced that Leopard will be delayed until October. They cite the development of the iPhone as the primary reason:

iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us.
According to the release, developers will be given a "near-final" beta copy of Leopard at WWDC in June.

Journal Journal: Python, Ruby or ??? 4

Journal by grub on Thursday February 22, 2007 @04:39PM

I've got some larger projects around work, mainly networkish things (SNMP trapping, {Squid|PIX|routers|switches|WLAN|VPN} log parsing, nmap, etc.) and I'm at a crossroads between what language to use. I'm most comfortable with plain ol' C but that would be overkill for these jobs

I've done a fair amount of Python and am happy with it but have read great things about Ruby.
