Free Course material.. from MIT

Imagine free course material. Hard to imagine, isn't it? Well, check out the article - Wired 11.09: MIT Everyware. It's good reference materials, and are all voluntarily contributed by lecturers at MIT.
Here is Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT OpenCourseWare.

Wonder if this is still true about Apple support this year?

What with my flatmate's on-going iBook repair saga, and yup it is still not over. It's with Mac support (again). He hasn't blogged about it yet. He is still whimpering in pain from the lack of quality Apple support has shown so far.
Well in 2002, Apple tops the consumer support as the report shows... MacCentral - Apple ranked number one in customer support

Robbie in the park

I am not going to the gig, 65 a pop is a wee bit too much been stuck in a middle of a crowd of 135,000 screaming fans, in mid-twenties degrees celcius heat... and um, did I mention the 135,000 fans?!?
I'm just living on Parkgate street, down the road from the entrance to Phoenix Park where the gig is being held. So I may get to hear ol' Robbie sing anyway. But when I came back from town, and the street was jam-packed with people (the pubs and the chipper will be doing some good business today!).
As we were on the bus rounding up to the bus-stop, we heard something was caught under the bus... when we got off, it was a traffic cone! We told the bus driver but he drove on anyway! It's so hot today, you would wonder driving at high speed with a plastic cone underneath scraping along the hot tarmac will catch fire or not... anyway, tempting to print some Robbie Ts and sell them outside our appartment gates :P Chow!
