X-MEN: THE LAST STAND - Trailer
Quicktime format, per usual. Updated: HD formats (480p/720p/1080p) now available.
Looks very nice, I guess I’ll be seeing this whilst in London
Check out Quicktime Alternative or VLC as alternatives to installing Quicktime 7 itself.
Admittedly, Apple’s QT7 installer is significantly less ass-holish, though their insistance on having QTask running is still a pain. Here’s hoping they won’t do an Adobe and force you to use their ’super duper download manager’.

Got myself a new Wifi card for the PDA.
The last one I had was a D-Link 660W, which started screwing up after ~18 months.
eBay.au: Linksys Instant Wireless Network CF card

“First, EVERYTHING in the parody actually happened. Second, we don’t hate Macs. And finally, Hunter, the guy in the spot, uses a Mac professionally so he’s tired of being called a Windows apologist. Hunter would like to point out that he still owns two working Apple IIe ‘s and has used Macs in one incarnation or another since 1982. He hastens to add ‘Nyaa’.” - from the Happy Nowhere site.
Update #1: Thanks to Aeoth for the Switch to Linux thing. Go watch, more funny-ness.
Update #2:
The world is going crazy. Mike and Gabe from Penny Arcade are both preaching the wonders of the Mac.

I wouldn’t normally do this, but really - check these two out.
No, really… that t-shirt folding thing is magic. Now you know how all the t-shirts and business shirts get folded in that weird-ass unnatural way that noone can replicate. (except those who’ve mastered the art of the magic-fold above)
