Geek, Meet Gearhead
When these two models of human brain intermingle in a nice way, some strange but wonderful things happen. Case in point.
A Piece of Canadian Consumer History
I was reading TUAW’s article on the fact that the student price has been raised for the release of Leopard. And considering I am of the currently-being-educated type, I decided to take my weekly trip to see if prices have changed due to the rise of the Canadian Dollar. It has.
TUAW reports that the educational discount in the US brings the price of Leopard down to $116. A whole dollar cheaper. Wow. Our dollar being above the Greenback is finally paying off. Now, if they’d only lower the price of the Mac Pros.
(Update 1: But the regular price is the same. I guess Apple thinks that the Canadian Students are a little harder off… or maybe a little smarter to figure out the exchange rate.)
Smallville Prop Oops
Here’s a small little tidbit of info for some of you fans of Smallville (or Canadians, or both).
Here I am watching Smallville and lo and behold, an older Blackberry appears on the screen. The logo at the bottom appears familiar to me, so I rewind and look at it very closely.
Somebody please correct me if I’m wrong, but that looks like a Rogers symbol on that Blackberry. I didn’t realize that Rogers was branching out in Kansas.
