There’s a new feature in Leopard. It has to do with the “Help” menu, and not just in Apple programs like the Finder or iTunes, but the “Help” menu in any application, including Microsoft Office 2004. You click on the “Help” menu in the top menu bar and along with the regular options, you get [...]

Sorry about not having links for most of this week. I’ve been pretty busy with my earn-a-paycheck work, and haven’t had the time to surf the web in my usual way. Anyway, on to the links:

I’ve been waiting a while for someone to bring more 3-D interaction into the desktop metaphor for modern computers. I’ve checked out a bunch of the options, but so far, nothing has been nearly as intriguing as what I can imagine.

Wired has set up a special section on its website in celebration of the fact that Apple Computers Inc turns 30 on April 1. One of the articles is a photo presentation of all the different variations of the Apple operating system that we have seen over the last 30 years.

“In metaphysics, a being is in a relation with what it cannot absorb, with what it cannot, in the etymological sense, comprehend.” - Emmanuel Levinas, Totality & Infinity: An Essay on Exteriority.

All right. Enough. I’ve had it, Apple. For too long, I have been your little bitch. I have argued on your behalf against people who don’t care enough to have a strong opinion on the matter.
