Tue Jan 9, 2007 1:10 PM EST

Steve's in the middle of his keynote, but I'm just in love with what the iPhone represents. I'm not super schooled in the fine points, but being able to have something like this is what I've been waiting for.

Employee of the Century

Seeded on Wed Jan 3, 2007 5:12 PM EST (The Minneapolis Star Tribune)

Talk about dedicated. Annie Milner put in 85 years at the same store. Absolutely amazing to think about in this time of employees jumping ship to new gigs or starting companies at breakneck speed.

Odd Headlines

Thu Aug 10, 2006 7:44 PM EDT

Is it me, or are the headlines today a tad eclectic? I just took a look at the Newsvine homepage to read up on the latest flying restrictions for my red-eye flight tonight and saw, a couple headlines down, a lovely story about potentially rabid--now dead--squirrel that bit people …

#1 on your 18th birthday

Seeded on Mon Jul 17, 2006 5:48 PM EDT (everyhit.com)

I heard about this on the radio on the way home yesterday. According to Billboard, the #1 song on your 18th birthday has had a big impact on your life. Looking up mine, I can't even remember the tune, so I'll have to say that it hasn't impacted me much. Has it you?

Design Ripoffs: when is it called inspiration?

Fri May 26, 2006 6:27 PM EDT

Just noticed a seed bringing for a new community site called MindSprocket. Being a interested reader, who occasionally writes, I clicked on through, only to be greeted by a fairly obvious rip of the venerable A List Apart, a site well-respected in the web design community.

Apple files US trademark for 'Mobile Me'

Seeded on Thu Jan 12, 2006 4:32 PM EST (MacMinute)

Apple's filed for a wideranging trademark that makes one wonder what they're going to do next. I'd love to have an Apple-branded mobile device that could use for both music and phone calls. (PIM would be nice too, but I don't use it that much right now to wish for it.)

Who else thinks "MacBook Pro" as a name sucks?

Tue Jan 10, 2006 5:02 PM EST

Sifting through the info I've seen about the new Apple products today and I must say that while I think it's incredible what they've put into the new laptop (I'm wanting to call it a PowerBook...) they seriously screwed up the name.
