Tiger's fast and baseball's slow
- With Apple finally putting its foot down, there's less reason than ever to believe anything that the rumor sites are claiming, at least not without a big ole grain of salt (or did Apple announce Tiger on April 1st as they all so confidently predicted, and I just missed it?). But these claims that Tiger makes Mail and Safari run up to twice as fast on a G4-based system...well wouldn't it just be tempting to slap Tiger on my existing PowerBook and say to heck with the comproimsed "upgrade" I've been planning?
- You know, I've been publicly kicking around this upgrade saga for so long that I'm starting to feel like I'm writing a script for a soap opera. In truth, I know I'll need a new rig eventually, but I'm not necessarily in any huge hurry one way or the other. Hence why I've been sitting back and treating this as one big game.
- Baseball season started yesterday, and I didn't even know it. I didn't even know spring training had started. So much for the theory that all those players testifying about steroids was going to direct people's attention back to baseball.
- On the other hand, the really nice thing about watching baseball in the background is that since over a three hour period your eyes only need to be on the screen about five percent of the time, you can get some real work done while taking in a game. Go Marlins!
- The Marlins are still in Florida, right? I mean, there's some team in Washington, DC all the sudden, so I just wanted to make sure.
- You know, in this day and age, people who still use AOL scare me.
- Come to think of it, in their own way, people who use Gmail scare me just as much.
- Before all the angry email comes rushing in from tickedoff@gmail.com, I'll go ahead and defend myself: 1) It's still in beta. email is too vital of a service to trust to anything that's still in beta. 2) All webmail sucks, Gmail included. Gmail just sucks a little less. 3) There's just something vaguely creepy about it, and it has nothing to do with the targeted ads.
- How can this guy from Tampa's baseball team get suspended for using steroids, and he only hit two home runs all year? If he wasn't using steroids, he be, what, the bat boy?
- Tampa has a baseball team? Since when?
