This is the funny easter egg icon on OSX Leopard that the Apple development team put in. 

As you may know I just got my MacBook Pro from Apple. After seeing many screenshots, blog posts, and digg stories about new and cool OSX apps for many years, I have installed and used many apps this past week. A few of these are just trials that I may end of buying, other I have already bought Some of my favorites include:

• Adium - for MSN and Gtalk
• Adobe Photoshop
• App Zapper
• Cabos - P2P
• Coda
• Colloquy
• CSS Edit
• Delicious Library
• Disco - buring app
• Garage Band
• Handbreak
• iBank
• iAlertU
• MacTheRipper
• Keynote
• Vienna - RSS
• Quicksilver - can not live without
• Textmate - purchased the second I got the MBP
• Transmission - bit torrent
• Transmit
• VLC

My brand new Apple MacBook Pro with the Santa Rosa chipset just arrived yesterday afternoon. I’ve had a few hours to play with it and it looks great. I really like the convenience of the iSight camera and have quickly learned how much Safari sucks! Don’t get me wrong Safari is good for some things like viewing photos (due to color) and also testing websites but really it just plain sucks. By the way you can get Safari for Windows now at Apple.com. After I get to use this computer a little more I will make a full review.

I just got my autographed copy of Steve Wozniak’s book iWoz. I don’t have a lot of time to read it this week due to exams but I will try to read it as soon as diploma exams are done. Here is a shot of the autograph! 

Last Tuesday Apple updated their Macbook Pro laptop computers. Of course I was in the market for a new laptop and had to buy this. Actually I have been waiting for this Santa Rosa MacBook Pro for about 1 year. It is scheduled to arrive at my house tomorrow (Monday). I’ll do a full text review and maybe a video review with the iSight camera.

The new MacBook Pros utilize the Santa Rosa chipset and come in the following configurations:

- $1999. 2.2GHz Core 2 Duo. 2GB RAM, 120GB HD, 15″ LED. GeForce 8600M GT 128MB
- $2499. 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. 2GB RAM, 160GB HD, 15″ LED. GeForce 8600M GT 256MB
- $2799. 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo. 2GB RAM, 160GB HD, 17″. GeForce 8600M GT 256MB

The 15-inch model uses a new LED display, while the 17-inch model now offers a new optional 1920-by-1200 high-resolution display.

I just went to Google.com and noticed the logo was an add for a online gambling site. The actual file URL is (http://www.google.com/intl/en_ALL/images/logo.gif).
