Manic Monday XCIII: World Wide Web Weirdness!!
Jake Bechtold | June 15, 2009
Good Morning once again- It’s Monday, so you know what that means- it’s Manic Monday. Let’s go:
• Facebook’s new vanity URL’s were the highlight of the weekend.
• In fact, 200,000 users added vanity URL’s in 3 minutes (me included).
• Sadly, though, the best one has already been taken.
• Moving on, WWDC was this week.
• The iPhone 3GS was announced, but it’s not as important as the previous one.
• Apple’s super MacBook Pro battery has been extended down the line.
• Safari 4 was also finalized- and was downloaded 11 Million times in 3 days.
• And if you’re looking for an iPhone 3GS, it’s too late to pre-buy; they’re out!
• Moving on, Ubuntu is looking for another milestone: A ten second boot time.
• Microsoft will soon have free anit-virus software. Yea right!
• And this month is the 10 year anniversary of Napster.
And that’s this week’s Manic Monday. I mentioned last week in my WWDC coverage that I would purchase one of the new MacBook Pros very soon. I am happy to announce that I have made that purchase, and it should be at my door by the end of the week. Again, I will keep you posted, and I’m going to try and post some un-boxing photos. Enjoy!
