Keyboard Fail
I just noticed this today and laughed pretty hard. How did this pass through Apple q/a?
Both of them appear to do the same thing. Why not one big button? And apparently this isn't a defect with my particular keyboard, as the apple store's website has it pictured this way too.

Yoav - Club Thing - Okay, I really have to get this off my chest:
DEAR RECORD LABELS: Why do you not allow embedding of the official music videos you post on YouTube? How are you going to get the word out about your artist if we can't show off your fu*#ing music video? (The below video is unofficial, so if it suddently stops working, above is the link to the official one)
DEAR ARTISTS: Feel free to hire me for promotion work.

Creative Ad: Apple and the New York Times - 
Props to whoever created the latest Apple Ad on the New York Times front page. (Click thumbnail for bigger image if it happens to be changed/gone). What's so great about this ad?
- Unobtrusive and doesn't pop up over content. (Why do other websites still insist that is a good idea?)
- Audio is off by default (also really annoying when it isn't)
- It's creative. As soon as I saw 'Mac' and 'PC' talking to the hair-loss advertisement on the left, I *wanted* to turn on the audio and see what was going on

Yuksek "Tonight" - Sorry for the lack of updates... I've been installing Windows 7! It's pretty damn slick. And this is a lot coming from somebody who generally dislikes Microsoft products. More on the upgrade coming soon! In the meantime, enjoy this song:
