*** PowerBook HD?
Heng-Cheong Leong

A macosXrumors.com <http://www.macosxrumors.com/articles/2005/02/13/powerbook-hd-planned/> reader have discovered the following text in the latest PowerBook manual: "Depending on how your Powerbook was configured, it may have a wide-screen display that has a 'native' resolution of 1920x1200 or 1440x900."

Of course, there are no 1920x1200 PowerBooks... yet.

There are some fuss kicked up on the issues of Google selling advertisment against e-mails, and (potentially) Bloglines selling advertisement against RSS feeds <http://calacanis.weblogsinc.com/entry/1234000863030958/>, which got me wondering: why isn't there any fuss on Eudora selling advertisement for it's free e-mail client version?

Is it simply because advertisments on Google (and potentially Bloglines) are targeted?

(It's the Merlion statue at Sentosa <http://www.sentosa.com.sg/> here in Singapore, and you can see it, well, shoots lasers out of its eyes during the music fountain show.)
