VERY trippy!!!
I so want to MAKE on of these.....
I am sure there are many Elders in NT and Far North QLD who would like it and some who would not...
NVIDIA CEO shows off mystery tablet, makes zero statements about mystery tablet {Engadget}
Nov 10th 2009 1:55AM Huag attempts a Dirty Harry impersonation:
"OK... So you want to look and feel the little tablet in front of me. Do ya, fella?
Well, all you have to do is tell me do I have one gulp or two gulps of water in the bottle, punk.
Are you willing to take a gamble?
If you can grab the bottle before me and take a drink, you can have the tablet. Wanna give it a try, do, huh?"
Navigon updates US iPhone navigation app, live traffic updates are a go {Engadget}
Nov 9th 2009 9:55PM Well, let's see how long it takes for Navigon to do the same thing here in OZ (Australia for the uninitiated). There is the coriolis effect and we drive on the opposite side of the road (legally) and call things differently but I am sure localisation (see the difference in spelling) will not be a big deal!
I mean what's a few roundabouts and motorways to a computer voice?
I already have Navigon for my iPhone... would love to have live traffic and for the price, too. (Even with conversion that isn't too bad!)
Cheers from Downunder. (it's summer here)
Hands-on with the Magic Mouse {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 3rd 2009 10:37AM I have had mine for two days now and my only complaint is that no centre button to use to access Spotlight - I use Spotlight quite a bit to find papers and research that I have filed on other hard drives. BUT I am now pretty acclimated to Command & Shift to bring up Spotlight.
I REALLY like the new mouse. It is like a portable track pad. Easy to use and much more comfortable in my hand. I would like to see the side edges a bit more rounded. I am conscious of the edges of the mouse and it is distracting but it is another acclimatisation process.
All in all, I feel it is an improvement over the previous "meeses" - most especially the hockey puck! (What was Ive thinking?)
Cheers!
Yellow sticky in the sky, are those new iMacs that I spy? Apple Store down 8:30p ET {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Apple shows new Get a Mac ad tonight: "PC Innovation Lab" {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 11th 2009 5:36PM My parents nor grandparents nor great grandparents nor any of my ancestors were British criminals. Your aspersions prove your cultural ugliness. The greatest amount of cultural destruction has been because of the arrogance of the Poms. Think about it.
I am a naturalised Australian of about 15 years. I am an Australian by choice.
V8 is for Pommies who can't handle cold beer. Please do not get me started about Pommies and I guess you are content with a camera on every lamp post and up your okolie - 1984 is alive and well in the UK, aye!

Sep 11th 2009 8:57AM iPop is a typo - they happen when you can't edit! I can correct it with an additional entry but you can't fix your deprecating attitude. It is just a part of your genetic make up - just like you can't really cure ugly. Just look at your kids.
I am well aware that you can "share" over a network but prior to iTunes 9.0, I could not copy songs from my wife's iTunes onto my iPod(p) Touch ;) and carry them away from the house.
And before iTunes Plus, people were actually purchasing songs. I know it is amazing to you (must be a rain soaked addled brained Pommy) but we do spend money here in Oz and you might want to consider who is living in a police state now - think CCTV all over the place in the UK - very few in Oz.
Your gulag is much closer now...
Funny Australia (Oz, Downunder, etc.) is also referred to as "The Lucky Country"... for good reason.

Sep 11th 2009 1:46AM Bubble wrap... there's an app for that!
Good ad... gets the message across...
For those who complain about the media event yesterday - go watch it again, download and install iTunes 9.0 and USE IT. Then complain. I just doubled my wife's and my music portfolio - over 70,000 items I can now load and view and play from my computers and my iPop Touch or iPhone - no need to double purchase anymore.
Ease of use just skyrocketed.
And all the little hidden thingos are great... but I will let you discover hem yourself.
Cheers from Downunder...
Snow Leopard set for release on August 28th {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}

Snow Leopard shipping August 28th for $29, order now {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2009 9:03AM It isn't Apple USA it is Apple UK... complain to them. They are an independent retail body, just like Apple Asia... that is why there are different products and music and prices and often times releases of products...
Different entities... autonomous pricing.
I get upset every time I see the differences in prices for hardware - most especially since the HW is built in China with final assembly in Singapore (Home of Apple Asia, btw) and there is a 20 - 25% premium on prices. It is what I have learned to call the "love tax"...
Cheers, Mate.
