Cool...Mac OSX on a Whitebox Machine!
A MAC vendor's website appears to have had their servers swamped and crashed shortly after their arrival was introduced to the blogosphere. As the news spread around the Internet that they were offering rock bottom deals on an off the shelf machine that would run the Leopard OS from Apple they suddenly disappeared. As of this writing, they seem to be back up and running. The machine they are offering more than doubles the specs of a Mac Mini at $100 less. The systems are also upgradeable. The Open Computer sports a faster processor (2.2GHz vs. 1.83GHz), double the memory (2GB vs. 1GB), three times more hard drive space (250GB vs. 80GB). The "Open Computer", as it is called, even comes with a power cable so you can start working with it out of the box.
Mac enthusiasts have been experimenting on running the new Apple operating systems on commodity PC hardware ever since the Intel-based Apple computers were introduced in early 2006. This effort came to be known as OSx86 Project. The "Open Computer" has evolved from the original OSx86 Project into a working commercial product.
Conventional wisdom will tell you that it is only a matter of time before the lawyers from Apple will have them shut down. Apple, who is notorious for heavy-handedly enforcing their intellectual property rights, is likely filing the necessary paperwork as you read this post. This may be a short lived glory for the folks at Psystar, but they have effectively uncorked the genie bottle and probably cemented themselves into Internet lore. One can assume that somewhere, Steve Jobs is having a meltdown.

Director David Lynch on the iPhone
I think that director David Lynch is spot on with his assesment of wathing a movie on an iPhone....
I mean cone on.....for the price of a nice medium size television, you can watch a tiny little screen. The real point he's making is that a lot is lost in the translation when you view a film on such a small screen. Something that I've thought since the advent of all these devices. I suppose it would do in a pinch, but I'm rarely in that much of a pinch!

Apple's Prediction of Computing in 2010
I've seen this video a bunch of times over the years. It's fun to watch, but the really funny thing was some of the comments people made on the Digg for it....Digg - Apple's prediction of computing in 2010, from 1988
