Comment Yeah, right! (Score 1) 265

The SEC can't even enforce the Cowbell Ban at Davis-Wade Stadium with any reliability. What makes them think they can enforce this at all??? (This is coming from a State alum who's gotten his 'bell into the "K-mart of college stadiums" [Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium / Ole Pi$$] on more than one occasion!)

Just bring along a politician or lawyer & put a suction cup on their mouth - then you'll never run out of (hot) air. Plus, it's just like having the regular vs. premium option: the politician's the cheap fuel, the lawyer's the expensive premium...

Apple Updates iMac, iLife, .Mac 528

Apple just announced new iMacs. They are aluminum and come in 20" (two models) and 24". There's a new view called "Events" in iPhoto that should make it easier to deal with large photo libraries. Apple's .Mac service is enhanced with .Mac Web Gallery, which integrates with the new iTunes and also the iPhone. It's a Web 2.0 app now. And iMovie is being replaced by a completely new app of the same name. Steve Jobs claimed that with it you can put together a 5-minute movie in 30 minutes, and he demo'ed that from the stage. iWeb, iDVD, and GarageBand get new features too. And .Mac subscribers get 10 GB of storage. Here is Engadget's blow-by-blow coverage, and Wired's.

Midrange and low-end machines, though, turn out to be pretty comparable, with more choices in the PC arena but some good values if you happen to want what Apple has decided you need. So, if you're talking name-brand hardware, it's just no longer the case that PC's are cheaper than Macs."
