Windows 7 review
Could Windows 7 accomplish everything that's expected of it? Probably not, but it makes a damn good attempt. We've tested the gold master, the final version going out on October 22. Upgrade without trepidation, people. With excitement, even.
Windows 7 is not quite a "Vista service pack." It does share a lot of the core tech, and was clearly designed to fix nearly every bad thing anyone said about Vista. Which ironically puts the demon that it was trying to exorcise at its heart. What that means is that Windows 7 is what Vista should have been in the public eye—a solid OS with plenty of modern eye candy that mostly succeeds in taking Windows usability into the 21st century—but it doesn't daringly innovate or push boundaries or smash down walls or whatever verb meets solid object metaphor you want to use, because it had a specific set of obligations to meet, courtesy of its forebear.
That said, if you're coming from Windows XP, Windows 7 will totally feel like a revelation from the glossy future. If you're coming from Vista, you'll definitely go "Hey, this is much better!" the first time you touch Aero Peek. If you're coming from a Mac, you'll—-hahahahaha. But seriously, even the Mactards will have to tone down their nasal David Spadian snide, at least a little bit.

Apple Crushes Recession by Selling More Macs and iPhones Than Ever Before
Apple just sold more Macs and iPhones than ever before: 3.05 million Macs and 7.4 million iPhones. iPods, doomed that they are, are still dying. But, Steve promises "some really great new products in the pipeline for 2010." Updated live.
Update 2: Q & A time.
Analyst dude asks what Apple thinks of wannabes "like Android." Answer: Apple "feels very good about suiting up against anyone" since they've got 85,000 apps. COO Tim Cook says, "Frankly, I think people are still just trying to catch up with the first iPhone 2 years ago."
Man, this is the most boring ass Apple earnings call ever. Nobody's asked a stupid tablet question to elicit a really snippy reply from Tim Cook, which has pretty much ruined it for me.
The earnings call starts in 25 minutes, and we'll be bringing it to you live.
There's some funky accounting going on now with some new accounting guidelines that lets them officially recognize the revenue from an iPhone, iPod touch and Apple TV (stuff they've been reporting revenue from over 24-month periods previously), so that's something to watch for over the next quarter or so. Business Insider explains what all that means.
Update: $9.87 billion was the second highest revenue ever, next to last Christmas season.
Mac's growing 17 percent, while the rest of the market only growing at 2 percent. Laptops are over 74 percent of Macs sold. Desktops are dead, biatches. Most educational Macs shipped ever, they're indoctrinating our youth. Half of Macs sold in Apple Stores still sold to first-time Mac buyers.
Snow Leopard upgrade box sales double Leopard's at release.
10.2 million iPods sold, down from 11 million a year ago (down 8 percent). iPod touch sales were up 100 percent though, showing, again, where the growth is. This is crazy: 50 percent of recent iPod buyers were buying their first iPod. They've still got 70 percent of the MP3 player market.
7.4 million iPhones. Half a billion app downloads, weeee.

Clean/polish aluminium with cola and aluminium foil
Whether you’ve got rusty chrome on your car or dirty chrome on the faucets on your sink, possibly the quickest and easiest way to get them clean and sparkling again is simple: aluminum foil.
Instructables user Captain Pedantic caught an episode of Mythbusters (with our pal Adam Savage) where he heard that aluminum foil and cola were great at polishing chrome, so he gave it a go on his neglected motorcycle with great results. There’s really not much to it:

14 year old killed from exploding chair

Well, stories don’t get much worse than this. A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him.
The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down. The canister gets compressed when you sit on it, but can it actually create enough energy to make the seat cushion explode like that and kill a man? I doubt it, but this is what people are reporting. Makes you think twice now sitting down.
