Late 2011 iMac Review

The iMac has been the primary part of Apple's consumer desktop offerings since its introduction in 1998, and has evolved through five distinct forms. Initial Thoughts and Reactions The announcement of the iMac in 1998 was a source of discussion and anticipation among commentators, Mac fans, and detractors. Opinions were divided over Apple's drastic changes to the Macintosh hardware. At the time, Apple was trying to improve its retail strategy. Apple declared that "the back of our computer looks better than the front of anyone else's".

Where Things Come From

A large cask of wine had been dropped and broken, in the street. The accident had happened in getting it out of a cart; the cask had tumbled out with a run, the hoops had burst, and it lay on the stones just outside the door of the wine-shop, shattered like a walnut-shell. And it lay on the stones just outside the door of the wine-shop, shattered like a walnut-shell. All the people within reach had suspended their business, or their idleness, to run to the spot and drink the wine. The rough, irregular stones of the street, pointing every way, and designed, one might have thought, expressly to lame all living creatures that approached them, had dammed ...

Lincoln’s Temperance Address

Even though this organization was not a religious one, the crowd that gathered in the Second Presbyterian Church probably did not expect his approach. The list of its friends is daily swelled by the additions of fifties, of hundreds, and of thousands. The cause itself seems suddenly transformed from a cold abstract theory, to a living, breathing, active, and powerful chieftain, going forth "conquering and to conquer." For this new and splendid success, we heartily rejoice. That that success is so much greater now than heretofore, is doubtless owing to rational causes; and if we would have it continue, we shall do well to inquire what those causes ...

A Quick Trip on the Bus

These flights have been regarded as tests of the Zond complex involving the firing of the fourth stage of the UR-500 rocket to put the L1 spacecraft into an elliptical trajectory to test high speed re-entry.

Just A Quick Note About Code

Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can also be applied to any kind of XML document, including plain XML, SVG and XUL. body { margin: 0; color: #666; font: 14px/22px 'Merriweather', Georgia, serif; background: #f0f3f4; } ::selection{background:#fff8ab; color:#666} ::-moz-selection{background:#fff8ab; color:#666} CSS is designed primarily to enable the separation of document content (written in HTML or a ...

Andrew Bird — Eyeoneye Video

In late 2011 Bird signed to the record label Mom+Pop. Andrew Bird's first release for the label was the soundtrack to the film Norman, which included his original score as well as songs by other artists. Bird sequenced the soundtrack to flow as a stand-alone album rather than a compilation of music from the film. The best compliment I've heard is that without having seen the film, you can imagine it by listening to the soundtrack. The sequence is a big part of that effect. Andrew Bird is currently on tour.
