Way to go, Apple!

From the press release:

Apple is publicly opposing Proposition 8 and making a donation of $100,000 to the No on 8 campaign. Apple was among the first California companies to offer equal rights and benefits to our employees' same-sex partners, and we strongly believe that a person's fundamental rights — including the right to marry — should not be affected by their sexual orientation. Apple views this as a civil rights issue, rather than just a political issue, and is therefore speaking out publicly against Proposition 8.

David Sedaris on undecided voters.

"To put them [undecided voters] in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it?" To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked. I mean, really, what's to be confused about?" Via The New Yorker.

Nvidia's new chipset.

Full-on review of Nvidia's GeForce 9300-9400 graphics chipset, which is shipping in Apple's new portables. I hope it works out better than the 8600M GT, which has been the Achilles' Heel of some late 2007-early 2008 MacBook Pros (keeping my fingers crossed).

Why the iPhone is not like a BlackBerry.

Trying out Bloom, a new iPhone/iPod touch application by Brian Eno and Peter Chilvers. Create your composition, instrument, and artwork by tapping the screen. Ambient, of course, and while you relax, the generative player will take over to create new compositions and visualizations. Eno calls it "a 21st century music box. You can play it, and watch it play itself." Indispensable.
