The new iMacs do look rather cute, but I was also pleased to see the Mini get an upgrade. Its demise has been rumored for a while, so it is good to see it live on. I am about to buy one and set it up as a little server…

All the discussions around autism in Public Address have helped me understand it more. I know a couple of people who are at the milder end of the austim spectrum, and it's just helped me understand why they do the things they do – why one girl can barely hold…

Yip, the New imacs look very shiny, but I am not sure about the new keyboard thou, flat keys are fine for laptops and occasional use, but for a fully featured desktop I will have to be convinced after a bit of "hands on sampling",

i got my copy autographed!

whu-whoo!

Those people work so hard for their kids.

Indeed – but since you and David C. are far too modest to do it yourselves, I'll pat you both on the backs too. You're both freelance writers – a precarious lifestyle choice at the best of times – and you've both…
