Google Maps Australia

Looks like Google is now mapping Australia, or perhaps more correctly imaging Australia, at the moment only the satellite images are available.

Quality and coverage are pretty good, I was able to drag around the entire coastline with the slider at mid range. Fortunately my area was available at max zoom, can't say the same for the Sydney CBD. Most of the outer suburbs, with the exception of the North Shore, are crystal clear.

Theres a Bad Moon on the Rise... maybe

Did anyone else feel the collective shudder of Mac users around the world this morning?

Steve's announcement at the WWDC wasn't exactly unexpected, for days now we've all been expecting the news that Apple was to join forces with Intel.

When the cards were finally laid on the table, turns out Jobs wasn't bluffing. I just don't know how pleased I was to see the hand.

No, I'm not exactly thrilled at the announcement, but I don't think it's quite the end of the Mac as I've heard from a number of speculators.

What will this do for Apple sales for the next year? Hmm... Die hard Mac fans definitely wont be buying anytime soon, myself being one of them.

For the mean time, I'll continue to enjoy my virus and spyware free operating system. We'll all just have to wait and see over the coming weeks and months how smooth this transition will be.
