So the Apple pro section has a great article about South Park, but even better is this article about pro photography.

Your minis launches an Apollo version. Pretty sweet.

I love 3wk, its been my favorite radio station for probably 6+ years now. You probably have your own favorite I’m sure. Anyway the RIAA in their infinite wisdom has done it again. They’re trying to destroy every internet radio station out there. NPR has even been caught up in this mess. And if you’ve heard, NPR is fighting back big time, good for them. Anyway, please go ahead and use this form on 3wk to tell Congress how unfortunate this is and voice your opinion. Please follow the instructions, they make it very easy. Please take out 5 or so minutes to let them know how you feel. Thanks!!!, Jody

I’m not sure when this was released. But I’m gonna try it out and see what’s new.

Pretty funny actually

Gruber points to this post by Rosyna at Unsanity regarding a bug in Apple’s Software Updater. According to Rosyna, “when you see the ‘Optimizing System Performance’ phase of a software update, Mac OS X is really updating prebinding. Updating prebinding has a very, very nasty bug in it… If multiple processes are updating prebinding at the same time, then it is possible for a system file to be completely zero’d out. Basically, all data in the file is deleted and it is replaced with nothing.” Yikes! Rosyna claims most of the problems that arise from software updates are manifestations of this bug. The upshot: “When ‘Optimize System Performance’ appears during the update process do not touch your computer and definitely do not launch any applications.” I know some are inclined to blame the Unsanity APEs for pretty much any and everything, but I think it’s worth considering what Rosyna has to say.

In response to this Gruber points to a old post of his own on updating (we even mentioned it back in the day). Basically, Gruber advises waiting a full day until after the update is released, then installing the update clean (with no other applications running), letting it finish, and then rebooting. These seem like prudent steps, and probably worth the hassle in order to avoid the prebinding bug.

I love this social interactivity stuff, you can take this to a whooooole nother level

You all know that cool little remote that you got with your macs for free. That one you can’t find anymore, ya that one. Well you know that big ole express card slot on the side of your computer that no one knows what the hell its used for. Well these guys made a remote to stick in it. SWEET!!!
