Anything and Everything that is cool, hot, fresh and classic.
Microsoft Research’s WorldWide Telescope, the “Web 2.0 visualization software environment that enables your computer to function as a virtual telescope-bringing together imagery from the best ground and space-based telescopes in the world for a seamless exploration of the universe”.
Basically a Google Earth for the Sky, it’s supposed to be fantastic, and it’s just been released by Microsoft, so if you’ve got an eye for the sky, check it out and see what you think.
With four days left until Leopard’s release, Apple is doing everything it can to entice you to buy.
The guided tour that they’ve put together lets you see what’s new and what’s different, and should give you a good idea of what Leopard is all about.
Are you ready?
Bob Ostertag’s w00t “is a free, internet-only release composed entirely from fragments of music from video games”.

The date has finally been finalized; On Friday, October 26, 2007, Apple will release Leopard, its latest operating system, to hoards of screaming Apple fanboys.
Ok, so it might not be that dramatic, but considering how long it’s been since their last release, a new OS is kind of a big deal. Plus, as Vista continues to flounder, it’s time once again for Apple to one up the ‘Soft boys.
Looking to get in on the action? Amazon has a pre-order deal going on right now, and you can save $20 if you’re willing to wait a few days for shipping.
Check out Apple’s site for a list of the over 300 new features that Leopard is bringing, and prepare to be upgraded.

Almost makes it so that you can justify the extra cost, doesn’t it?
As the release of Halo 3 nears, everything is getting Halofied.
