Apple's global pricing policy. Utter cobblers

Sometimes Apple really does have a screw loose...

Apart from the fact that QuickTime has always annoyed me anyway because you have to buy a new key for the Pro version with every new QuickTime release. And of course the upgrades are suggested to you, during installation you get an "Gotcha, if you're a Pro user, buy yourself a new key or forget about this upgrade". Annoying. Irritating.

I found the original article at Ben Hammersley.com.

Gaelic is dying

Sad. Really sad. But unfortunately not unusual for people in Europe. Many languages are dying out. I'm thinking of Frisian, or something like Münsterländer Platt.

Cool. Absolutely Cool. An object tracking of all the satellites swarming around the Earth. With live updates.

I found the original article at PragDave.

Sunday Tinkering

Yes. A pointless gimmick. That's why I also did it with the Python Desktop Server: "When is actually posted here?". Pointless, but perhaps quite interesting since the macro source is included. It's definitely advantageous to have the full capabilities of Python at your disposal.

At WorldWideKlein - The Daily Durchblick there's the original article.

Weather

A small, interesting collection of links on the topic of weather. For all weather fetishists out there

At bbums rants, code & references you can find the original article.
