I'm more upset about Billy Mays dying than I was about Michael Jackson dying... I really enjoyed his TV show.

In other news, AT&T responded to my email... they're full of fail. And to think I used to defend these cockmongers...

NEW YORK — At least two cases of the human swine influenza have been confirmed in Kansas and one more in California, bringing the U.S. total to 11. At least eight students at a New York City high school probably have swine flu, but health officials said Saturday they don't know whether they have the same strain of the virus that has killed scores of people in Mexico.

Health officials are worried because people appear to have no immunity to the virus, a combination of bird, swine and human influenzas. Also, the virus presents itself like other swine flus, but none of the U.S. cases appears to involve direct contact with pigs, said Eberhart-Phillips, who called the strain "a completely novel virus."

New York health officials said more than 100 students at the private St. Francis Preparatory School, in Queens, had come down with a fever, sore throat and other aches and pains in the past few days. Some of their relatives also have been ill.

A strain of the flu has killed as many as 68 people and sickened more than 1,000 across Mexico. The World Health Organization chief said Saturday the strain has "pandemic potential" and it may be too late to contain a sudden outbreak.

Aw yeah. New Mac Mini, iMac, and Mac Pro!

*stimulates the economy*



Seriously, though... five USB ports? What the hell are people plugging into these things? Their dogs?

BTW: 4GB RAM standard on the new iMac... hmm... They also have the new NVidia chipset and are cheaper for the 24" ... hmmm.... very interesting how the Mac Mini and the iMac have the same video chipset as the MacBook Pro -- that's unexpected. Also unexpected is the 4GB max on the Mini. Even more unexpected is the dual monitor support on the Mini. I figured they'd throw a quad core into the iMac, but that'd be encroaching on MacPro territory...

The Mini is a real computer now!
