TidBITS calls out Apple on their shitty release notes for software updates
Apple's security updates are good: they list the programs updated in software update, and give you the details on their Web site. So why aren't Apple's apps (and us, the app users) given the same first-class treatment? Good job, TidBITS for speaking up on this.

Police lock down UBC building after reported threat
I hope it turns out to be a hoax. I switched to NowPublic instead of CBC because they have more detail. CBC story.

Newsweek has the best 2008 Interactive U.S. Primary Race Map

David Pogue Explains the Macintosh Surge
Actually, he just asks questions about it. For my money, it's the switch to the Intel chip. With the same clock speed numbers and basic hardware stats (USB to USB, etc.) you're finally comparing Apples to, well, apples, so to speak.

1,385 sq. ft. in 1972, 2,140 sq. ft. in 2000
The size of the average American House, while the average number of people living in one has decreased. We're not blameless -- we had a 1,900 square foot house, but it was also our work space.
