Apple has been busy, and it is now major pay off time.
You have to give it to the Apple designers. The iPod shuffles is just elegant. At HK$780 for the 512MB model, they are going to sell a boat load of them.
In the land of cheap self and shop assembled PC clones where macho men and women enjoy mud-whestling w/ crappy software, I would imagine that the Mac Mini isn’t going to go down too well in Hong Kong. But at around HK$4K up, the Mac Mini is the perfect home computer: no more nasty viruses, trojans, spyware and It Just Works™. I am so tempted to get one (stuffed w/ RAM and a SuperDrive) for general use while my new laptop will be for development work only. Make no mistake however: the Mac Mini is probably too slow to be useful for serious video editing or Garagebanding.
And look at those HD video editing software! Now all I need is a couple of HD videocams. And a fast G5 dual CPU PowerMac. And a couple of 20” Cinema Displays. And an Xsan. And a HDTV. Hmmm… never mind, reality doesn’t survive the HD scrutiny anyway.

There it is again!
Your main page shows there are 2 comments for this particular blog since last night. Yet all 3 of my computers can only see just 1 comment in this comment page – the comment I posted yesterday.
I have a feeling the minute I posted this comment I would see the hidden one. This seems to be the problem only after the comment code procedure has been install here, yet I don’t seem to have any problem with my site.

No, still don’t see the hidden comment; but now that it has my second comment, the comment number on the main page still shows a comment count of 2 even after several complete refreshes.

No need for concern. I deleted my own comment.
