I think "Infinite Loop" would be an awesome name for that station. ;-)

I saw Windows 7 (I almost wrote "System 7" there, must be an old trauma) last weekend on a windows developer friend's system, running in VMWare. I wasn't in the least impressed, except for the much improved installation process.

Windows 7 looks like Windows 3.1 in watercolors to me. Ugly as hell.

I'll stick to trusted XP for the 1 system that needs to run Windows in my house. For the other systems, I can't wait for Snow Leopard to arrive.

Gregorian?

I'm keeping tabs on all those developer seeds, but I must have missed one announcement. What was the build number of "the previous build [that] was pushed to developers only five days earlier"?

By the way, it *IS* June 18th now in Singapore. Don't get all worked up though, it will be for a couple more hours ;-)

Hmmm, I'm finding it difficult to believe that so many people have problems with the concept of time zones. I've been hearing this nonsense on Twitter all day. There is no delay. NO delay, okay? At the time Apple (Cupertino) happens to release the upgrade (presumably at 10:00 AM PDT) it will be past midnight (i.e. June 18th) in some part of the world starting with Singapore and extending all the way to Melbourne, New Zealand. Why is that so difficult to grasp?

mike who?

Who is Arrington?

Respect is a mutual thing, between humans. You get it 1) when you deserve it on objective grounds and 2) when you reciprocate it. What goes around comes around, I guess.

I went and bought the iPhone 3G in Iraklio, Crete, Greece this morning. The plan includes 100 minutes talk time, 150 outgoing SMS messages, 500MB data transfer for 35€/month. This is the most basic package. For the iPhone itself I paid 317€, due to the fact that I have accumulated credit over the past year as a Vodafone customer.
