And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hmm. I'm not sure a laptop without a DVD drive would be useful to me, the more I think about it.

But the new Apple TVs are still pretty tempting at $229.

And looking forward to my new iPod Touch apps, assuming they're going to upgrade the current models & not just ship w/ the new ones.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Current owners have to pay $20 to get the upgrade.

Trust my rage

Jess, I think it costs $20 to get the upgrades.

I'm not sure I can remember when I last used my DVD drive on my computer. I think I use the internet/thumb drive for most data transfer.

I just updated. Wiggling home screen icons are adorable.

Aaaand my google maps just pinpointed my location almost exactly. When I tried the pinpoint thing, it sure as heck pulled up my block. Then, when I switched over to hybrid view, and zoomed in three times (with just a double tap), the crosshairs are pretty much centered on the building next door to me.

Never mind. Some experimentation reveals that the zoom is not that specific, and neither are the crosshairs.

Although, WOW! I'm displaying current freeway traffic conditions on my Google maps right now, AIFG!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh brave new world, that has such Google maps in it....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Watch out for that truck!

Hey. New board.

The Apple TV is very nice, but I think I'm going to buy a MacBook Air for most of my work, and set my current MacBook Pro up as a media center in the apartment I get with my sister. We'll drop cable, buy The TubeStick (with its really cool recording software and FrontRow-replacing MediaCentral software) to get any over-the-air TV, and use iTunes to get the rest / rent movies / etc. Not quite as elegant as the Apple TV, maybe, but functional and with DVR capabilities.
