I've officially given up on trying to guess Apple's next move. As far as my computing needs go I've almost achieved what I want with a decent media management system, workhorse, family system and some other bits and pieces. However, there's one more element that I reckon my setup needs and I'm hoping Apple fills this gap in San Francisco in a couple of week's time.

And more to the point, why didn't it? If you look at the world of PC gaming, two things become apparent: (1) Virtually the entire PC gaming population is playing World Of Warcraft. Statistically, you may be playing it right now, and not evenrealise it. (2) The momentum's been lost to the console world.

When I get my Telstra bill each month with the $33 line rental, I feel like the wicked witch in The Wizard of Oz screaming, “I’m melting! I’m melting”.

I have three cats, and one MacBook. You’d think that pure numerical superiority would be enough for the cats to feel confident in their lot — but that’s not entirely the case. Even the fact that the MacBook is only portable where the felines are fully mobile isn’t enough for them. You see, I’ve come to the conclusion that at least one of my cats is — there is no better word — envious of my MacBook.

Many decades ago, there was a linoleum layer’s apprentice. For the sake of personality, let’s call him Alf. Like most apprentices, Alf was given all the tedious, noisy, potentially painful jobs that nobody else wanted to do. On one particular day in 1962, Alf was given the job of nailing down a large Masonite board to some timber, in preparation for some truly hideous lino to be set down. Alf was bored, Alf was feeling rebellious, and Alf knew it would be a long time before anyone spotted what he was up to — so he went nuts. Spiral patterns of staples, double, triple and quadruple staples — this board wasn’t going to come up without a fight.
