A whole new world...on a Mac

In case you haven't been following news in the Mac world lately, there's a lot going on. Mac is now rolling out desktops and laptops with Intel Duo Core techonology: two processors on one die. The new laptop, MacBook Pro, looks sick and I'm resisting the temptation (for now) of buying one. Maybe even sell my MacMini to go all out and get one? Anyway, go over to apple.com and check out the keynote address at that Steve Jobs gave this last Tuesday. The hardware is not the only change either. Steve demo'ed the new capabilities of MacOS X Tiger 10.4.4 (the version releases are starting to look more like open source software: interesting), iLife, and iWork. Another company, named Google, finally released another killer app for the Mac: GoogleEarth for Mac! I've run a leaked beta two times, but now I'm glad the real deal is here. The gap between what's available for Windows that isn't available for OSX is becoming so small, while all the capabilities and applications you can do on OSX are (in my opinion) dominating over all you can do on Windows. If you ever want to switch, it's not too late ;)
