My favorite antivirus application has been updated. .Mac subscribers should log in and download the new version, which includes an automatic virus definitions update feature.

Former President Ronald Reagan is 92 today. Major retrophisch well wishes to President and Mrs. Reagan.
Michael notes that Salon has adopted a new pay-or-click-through-multiple-ads model. Might be worth it for some, but I never thought Salon was worth much when it was free.
A colleague just sent me this link to a baked Apple. Please note that there are links at the top of the page to more pictures other than those immediately displayed.
What frickin’ rocks is that the PowerBook still boots and they’ve installed Mac OS X 10.2.
Four and a half years after Apple declared the floppy disk was dead with the introduction of the iMac, the rest of the computer industry is finally starting to follow suit. Dell, of course, is “innovating” ahead of the other PC box companies.
I truly love this quote:
“What Dell has done, I expect every major vendor to do in the next 12 months.”
This from Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies, a technology consulting firm in San Jose. Where was Tim four and a half years ago, when it was Apple announcing it was removing the floppy disk drive from its systems, beginning with the then-new iMac?
If you are one of those folks who just cannot let go of WordPerfect for the Mac, you can download the last version, released free by Corel, here. (Thanks to a Macintouch Reader Report.)

“some followers of a senior associate of Osama bin Laden are currently in the Iraqi capital, with the approval of Saddam”
To paraphrase Secretary Powell, not once has Hussein proven that any WMD he is known to possess has been destroyed. For the hard-of-understanding among you (read: “liberals”), just because a known liar says he has destroyed a weapon of mass destruction, and you find no evidence of said weapon of mass destruction, doesn’t mean said liar has destroyed said weapon of mass destruction. It just means it isn’t where it used to be.
You know that annoying Nike Shox ad with the guy running across the soccer field wearing only his Shox shoes and a scarf? Reebok, with the help of Terry Tate, has effectively nuked it, and good riddance. Kudos, Reebokkers!!

I have pondered authoring an essay on how it is the Democrats, in fact, who have long favored racial discrimination, and not Republicans, but why go through all the trouble when someone has already done it for me?
Even though I’m late in the day reporting this, Apple released upgraded iMacs today. The 17″ iMac now sports a 1 GHz G4 processor, while the 15″ strolls along with an 800 MHz G4; the flat-panel iMacs sell for $1,799 and $1,299 respectively.
The 17″ iMac sports a faster system bus, 133 MHz, uses DDR SDRAM memory, a 4x DVD-burning SuperDrive, and a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX video chipset with 64 MB of DDR SDRAM. It is also Airport Extreme- and Bluetooth-ready. The 15″ iMac remains compatible with the original Airport, and can use Bluetooth only with a USB adapter.
