New UK Get a Mac Subway Underground Ad
The Macbook's power cable is--bar none--one of the most useful hardware innovations to come about it years, on any platform. So it's always surprising that Apple doesn't make more of it in its advertising. It's saved me from many disasters,...

The Macbook's power cable is--bar none--one of the most useful hardware innovations to come about it years, on any platform. So it's always surprising that Apple doesn't make more of it in its advertising. It's saved me from many disasters, and I'm glad to see it turning up in this London Tube ad. Be sure to see the entire set.

Mike Elgan in Computerworld makes the convincing argument that iPods should be required in schools, not banned:

So many college students I've met -- even at some of the nation's top universities -- are there because they have an aptitude for memorization. Many straight-A high school students have few interests, little curiosity and zero inclination toward intellectual discovery. Our system rewards the memorizers and punishes the creative thinkers.
An iPod, when used during tests, is nothing more than a machine that stores and spits out data. By banning iPods and other gadgets, we're teaching kids to actually become iPods -- to become machines that store and spit out data. Instead, we should be teaching them to use iPods -- to use that data and to be human beings who can think -- and leave data storage to the machines.

Leopard to Feature 3-D Dashboard Implementation?
We're down to just a month until Apple takes the wraps off what few unannounced features remain for Mac OS X Leopard. So let's all sit back and revel in rumors of what Apple might do next, courtesy of AppleInsider:...

We're down to just a month until Apple takes the wraps off what few unannounced features remain for Mac OS X Leopard. So let's all sit back and revel in rumors of what Apple might do next, courtesy of AppleInsider:
According to the filing, different Dashboards could contain one or more of the same widgets and "state" information for a widget could be maintained separately for each Dashboard in which the widget appears, or it can be commonly maintained across all Dashboards in which the widget appears.

"Different Dashboards can be available or 'owned' for different users of a computer or other electronic device, such that each user can only access their own Dashboard(s)," Apple said in the filing. "A user can specify a Dashboard as being available to other users, if desired. A user can also specify, for any or all of the Dashboards he or she creates, whether other users are permitted to make changes to the Dashboard(s)."
Uh...sounds good!

Sometimes, the alternate-universe humor mocking Apple is only 3 percent more insane than actual Apple news. The hilarious Crazy Apple Rumors Site just announced the launch of Mac OS 9.3:
According to sources at Apple, the company is entirely at a loss to explain where this seed came from.

"I didn't do it," said senior vice president of software engineering Bertrand Serlet. "I can't even get Leopard done in time. I'm swamped. Stupid iPhone and Apple TV. Nobody asked me whether or not we should make those. I mean, I haven't gone to the bathroom in three weeks. OS 9? Je pense que non."
