If you’re in a giving mood, there’s no better place to shop for the Apple-device-users on your list than the iTunes Store.

Sharon Zardetto, Macworld

What could possibly be “unexpected” when it comes to those four humble directional keys? Perhaps it’s that, totally unadorned (that is, without a modifier such as Command or Control), they can do more than just move an insertion point around in text or select something in a list.

He hates the Ten Commandments “in exactly the same way Don McLean hates ‘American Pie.’ ” He adores the most obscure and antiquated Old Testament strictures, “for each outdated relic of an obsolete mode of living is like a child to me.” He identifies himself as “Maker of Little Green Apples; Rester of Merry Gentlemen; and Sole Knower of the Beach Boys.” He inflicted the Potato Famine on Ireland because he was angry at the potatoes. Why? “They know why.”

我们曾向国会议员投诉兴建地铁工程所带来的种种不便，所得的答案就是“大家忍一忍，将来地铁完成时，就有更便利的交通”。

而我们忍了两年多后，却接到必须搬迁的通知。

So, let's ask ourselves, how serious is the government about multi-racialism? It might be worth asking ourselves how “un-racist” we are since we don't seem terribly disturbed by this.

Adrian Taylor, The Morning Bulletin

During the 65-day exercise based in Shoalwater Bay's military training area, 5000 Singaporean army and air force personnel have trooped through Rockhampton.

Cr Carter, who met the Singaporean minister of state for defence last week to cement the long-standing agreement, said the relationship was going from strength to strength. "The economic benefits to small businesses in our region are fantastic and the behaviour of the Singaporean troops has once again been exemplary. The reception by our community has also been first class."
