Future of Mac
The mainstream media rarely dives this far into speculation about our favorite computer manufacturer, so this is something of a treat. Business 2.0 has a long feature story on the past, present and mostly the future of Apple. The story includes a great gallery of conceptual product images produced by design firm Pentagram and a breakdown of how likely they are to exist. This is a must read for all you Mac lovers (and haters).
TalmudPod
For the Torah-studying scholar on-the-go, 23-year-old entrepreneur Yehuda Shmidman has created the ShasPod, a 20GB iPod filled with the equivalent of 2,700 pages of the Talmud as read and commented by Rabbi Dovid Grossman of Los Angeles. The $399 price is one hundred bucks over the price of the iPod as shipped from Apple. And while the lectures by Rabbi Grossman are available for free at dafyomi.org, some Orthodox Jews will not use the web for non-work purposes. Timing is key here as well. As the New York Times reported (free registration required), Jews worldwide recently celebrated the completion of the seven-and-a-half-year cycle of Talmudic learning called the Siyum HaShas, where students learn one page per day. Here’s a sample file about the s’hma.
April Fools?
The outlaws at ThinkSecret are reporting today that Apple will release Tiger on April 1st, the next major upgrade to the OSX operating system (full feature rundown for v10.4 here).
Apple will officially announce Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger’s release at an event in early April and will begin shipping the operating system within two or three weeks afterwards, Think Secret has learned. Apple has previously only stated that Tiger will ship during the first half of the 2005.
I’m hoping this new release helps out my Mom with the promising set of new disability features built-in.
