I’ve been contemplating on selling my Powerbook. Not because I want or need to, but because I’ve been lucky enough to have most of the parts replaced in the past month under warranty. Taking into account the whole factor of depreciation, I figured that regardless of my needs, now is the best time to sell it because of its reconditioned state.
Spread the word.
Looks Like Jeline was right, I’m now engrossed in Philip Pullman’s “His Dark Materials” trilogy. I’m currently listening to the second book “The Subtle Knife.”
And in case you’re reading this Jeline, to address your curiousness as to the “caliber” of the audiobook; It’s read by the author himself, along with a full cast 🙂
Again, thanks for the recommendation.
I just got to watch BBC’s three-part documentary/series “The Power of Nightmares.” I wouldn’t say it was an eye-opener, but I can say that it would be good for everyone to watch it – so long as you have an open mind.
I guess the good thing about this documentary is how it explains the danger from both sides. How a government can abuse and use fear to control society, and how even noble causes can mutate into idealism that’s no better than the system they wish to abolish.
I finally had the time to upgrade iTunes to version 7, I must say that the improvements in this build are pretty impressive.
What I particularly like is how they separated the “current performing tasks” into it’s own page rather than having to click and cycle through the main display. This can get very irritating if you’re downloading a lot of podcasts, then are listening to something. Say you want to change the playhead position on that song – you’ll have to cycling though the different tasks until you see the “task” for the current playing song.
Apple has solved that by putting it on a separate page view:
