Weird cloud...
According to the weather girl this evening this 'hole' in the alto cumulus cloud is caused by ice crystals falling from above the cloud layer and through it. The ice then evaporates before hitting the ground. From the photos sent in by viewers I wasn't alone in snapping this phenomenom...

New MacBooks...
Just been able to view one in the flesh - very nice.
May have to splash out for one to replace my ageing, though still serviceable, iBook. That already has a new home if I happen to get a new laptop.
Bit disappointed that the backlit keyboard is only available on the 2.4GHz model - does that mean the lesser models aren't used in the same sort of conditions? C'mon Apple...
And the pricing of the new range is getting a few folk pissed off - the only thing I can say is maybe the new unibody process is a factor for the increase in price - not that I am excusing Apple for the price hike. I guess carving solid blocks of aluminium is a bit more expensive than clicking together parts made from moulded plastic.
That being said I am veering towards the 2.4GHz model anyway - just to give me a bit more 'oomph' for the future. The old iBook is a 600MHz model and while it is happy working with 10.4, it does start to show it's age when things get busy.

Water waste or Whatta Waste revisited!
Seems like my observation back in March of this year regarding the waste of water in my local Starbucks has also been noticed by others...
At least I am not alone...
US coffee-shop chain Starbucks has defended itself against claims of a serious waste of water by leaving taps running in its stores all day.
A spokeswoman said the purpose was to clean utensils and the policy meant the company met health standards.
But environmental groups have criticised the practice, accusing Starbucks of wasting millions of litres of water every day.
