It seems Apple’s much publicised environmental focus which they’ve heavily advertised and proudly featured in their demonstration videos will be the furthest extent of their openness. From FastCompany.com:

Some good news from the team we thought had disappeared off the face of the Earth. Good thing I would never let any of my own projects end up like this.
After a mysterious unexplained hiatus, we’re coming back. iPhone User News .com will be rebooting around the middle of next week. We’re coming back with daily dollops of news about Apple’s humble portable telephone.
We’ll also be launching a sister site all about that pad thing, in the near future.
Thanks for visiting.

It’s been over a week since Google’s surprise revelation that they would no longer be filtering search results in the People’s Republic of China and the shock still hasn’t seemed to have worn off for most people. I think we’re playing up the significance far too much.

It’s been so heartening to see all the reports of assistance and aid pouring in from around the world for communities devastated in the Haiti earthquake disaster, but at the same time I’m angered beyond belief that some "people" (and I use the term in a loose Darwinian sense, not a moral one) are already exploiting the tragedy to further their own agendas. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
While my dad, sis and I were on our Eurotrip over the New Year holidays (photos coming soon) we were placed in self imposed 24-hour-instant-Twitter-news exile, which to tell the truth was kinda refreshing. The only thing we had to worry about in Europe was being buried in a freak Irish, German, French, Czech or Austrian snowstorm, or finding plastic explosive in our baggage from Slovakia on arrival in Dublin. But I digress.

I usually don’t read the Singapore Straits Times, but Stephanie Yeow’s graphic in their story about drink driving was just too well done to pass up.
I wish the Singapore Police luck in their efforts to curb drink driving with incentives instead of nagging which I’ve maintained never works because it attacks the symptoms and not the societal causes. For example, both Singapore and Australia have had countless anti-drink driving campaigns pitched through all forms of media and as far as I know they haven’t done anything.
Then there are 23 year old people like me who don’t even have a car licence and probably have one or two standard drinks a month, if that. Go figure.

Dell’s profits are way down, and Microsoft makes a move that could scare beige box makers even more.

I read this comment on an ABC Australia blog talking about human population growth and climate change and despite having other work to do I couldn’t help but comment on it. It’s an impulse thing.

Just wanted to briefly send my heartiest congratulations and warmest wishes to the people of a united Deutschland in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Love and Peace, in West and East!

Today’s Twitter tweet of the day goes to Long Zheng in Melbourne:
longzheng: i’m sick of tech “reporters” labeling Vista a “train wreck”. they’re the ones who derailed a perfectly good OS http://bit.ly/41ngGM
He’s absolutely right, Windows Vista didn’t have any flaws whatsoever, it was the all the fault of the evil media! I guess it’s true what they say, denial isn’t the only river in Egypt ;).
To be fair, he sometimes posts some really good stuff. I was intrigued by this idea he posted on the 11th, partly because the problem he describes is one I’ve been talking about for a long time myself. I’d be interested to see what happens with it, it sounds like a great idea.
longzheng: toying with a new website idea to promote originality in online news and giving people the credit they deserve
