What if Michael Jackson was Indian.
Now if that doesn’t make you want to stick a fork up your ass, I don’t know what will. I particularly enjoyed one of the comments:

Google Earth
I’ve been knocking myself out with Google Earth recently. I found the activity of looking for some location from a generally “uncharted” map of the Philippines (it only goes as far as showing major cities) very engaging.
Still, there are some misgivings I have with it. First is the free version doesn’t allow you to draw polygons. I could understand why the Plus and Pro versions give you better network access, which is fair enough. But drawing custom shapes/polygons can be done locally in a machine, I wish they just enable it on the free version as well. Having the ability to input custom shapes to draw area perimeters is very useful especially in the Philippine context – because we have lousy Civil Engineers who make me wish there was some kind of SIM City feature in real life to just obliterate a chunk of area and replace it with properly distributed structures and roads.

Katz sent us an email with a YouTube link. I found it particularly funny because we have a member in BP who left an impression on the group by doing something similar during the US tour. His impression was the song “Get Here (If You Can)” as originally sung by Oleta Adams if I’m not mistaken.
My favorite was the “There’s just so many things” part, and “Into something real(reel)”

iTunes 7 – looking good!

Tasks View
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:
