Shuttle remains grounded

It appears that the shuttle’s fuel sensor problem may be harder to find than expected; consequently the Discovery shuttle missed the first launch attempt for this long-awaited return to flight but they remain hopeful for a July launch. OK, so it’s not your average fuel gauge sensor and the propellant happens to be super-cooled liquid hydrogen and oxygen; you don’t want any nasty surprises with that stuff!

New Mac Mini?

This may come to a bit of a shock to some of you that know me; I’ve been thinking of getting a Mac Mini for a while now. Now there’s some evidence of a new mac mini on the way…hmmm, I’ve waited this long, I can wait a little longer.

*update: I visited the local mac dealer and apparently the are no more mac mini’s supplied by Apple; in fact they ran out of stock 4 weeks ago. Sign there might be new models coming out? he thought so.
