New Apple notebooks are most certainly coming in the next six to eight weeks, and they will probably have the most extensive design overhauls in years. And the long-fabled MacBook touch might finally appear on the mortal plane. But the best rumour, we think, is that the new MacBooks will have a glass, multi-touch trackpad.
Watch this space.

I didn’t write this, but do the right thing, read up.
As someone who has spent quite a bit of time there over the years, trust me.. ALL of this rings true..
Feel free to add your own ideas in comments if you are a native.

Millions of people visit New York City every year. Unfortunately, naive visitors throw a wrench into the delicate gears of this busy city with their clueless meanderings and obtrusive groups. Because of this, tourists are the most despised group of people in a city that likes to hate judge people.
Here are a few unwritten laws of the land that you must follow to avoid coming across as a total douche, and pissing everyone around you off in the process.
Driving: Don’t. Public transportation here works. Take it. But if you must drive, we have some rules, so we suggest you do so with this in mind: everyone else is trying to get where they’re going as fast as f**king possible. If you can go, go–stop only for red lights, children, dogs, other cars, bicycles, motorcycles/Chinese delivery men and pedestrians with the right of way.
Get used to changing lanes, merging and driving close to other sh*t. In New York, we change lanes–a lot–looking for a better path. Don’t be afraid of it. Just pay attention to what’s happening around you (that’s called driving) and you’ll be alright. (more…)
Thanks Danz.
Imagine if millions of people had seen your ween before you were old enough to say “embarrassing.” That’s the story of Spencer Elden, whom you may know as the little baby floating towards a dollar bill on the cover of Nirvana’s 1991 album, Nevermind.
Nearly 17 years later, amid hating school and playing water polo, Elden is still struggling to make sense of his (very) public image.
“Quite a few people in the world have seen my penis,” he says from his home in Los Angeles. “So that’s kinda cool. I’m just a normal kid living it up and doing the best I can while I’m here.”
Nevermind is often credited with changing the face of rock. Elden’s naked participation in this important moment in music history was rather accidental; Kirk Weddle, the photographer working on the cover, was simply a friend of Spencer’s dad, Rick.
Trust me, even if you only have a vague interest in cars, you need to see this.
It will be mine.. oh yes.. it will be mine.
Optus are on a bit of a roll at the moment. They trumped all the other networks with their iPhone 3G pricing, and now they’re offering pricing caps more akin to Three than the country’s second biggest Telco.
The new mobile plans include unlimited calls, SMS and MMS messaging to mobiles in Australia. The new plans – which Optus is calling Timeless – include a $99 option and a $129 option. The more expensive of the two plans also includes 2GB worth of data, which makes it perfect for iPhone use…
If those numbers seem a little bit pricey, look at it this way – unlimited voice calls means you can ditch your home phone, saving $30 a month on line rental and NEVER get a home phone bill again.
Are you listening honey?
honey?
