Leopard

-
Well I've already had two emails this morning before 9am trying to persuade me to hand over hard earned cash on the new OSX Leopard. I can get it first at 6pm tonight apparently if I don't have anything better to do at the start of my weekend... How many different cat names are they going to come up with? Does anyone actually know whether they have Tiger, Panther, Leopard or Tabby installed? When they've run out of names are they then moving on to dogs names??
I've had a look at the blurb from Apple and it all seems very nice, but is it necessary? I'm not sure. And the annoying thing is if you buy a new mac now you'll get Leopard, and I always worry about running different macs in studio with a different OS. I for one will wait and see...

The Nissan Cube – thinking outside the box

-
Image
Love it hate it, there's no denying that the Nissan Cube will certainly get you noticed on the road. With it's Manga style looks and unique asymmetrical style it's certainly a quirky design. It's been described (rather harshly) as a "fridge on wheels", a "bonsai minivan" and a "Brinks Mat van that went into a boil wash"... First launched in Japan over ten years ago, the Cube immediately achieved a cult status and was adopted by the stylish, underground and urban set - the ‘denso’, carefree in spirit, unique in mind. It was intended to appeal to young people passionate about being individual and as a lifestyle choice, more than a car. It has gained a huge cult following within the creative sector with appearances in fashion, magazines, video and commercials, and online. The Cube was even voted one of the 50 cars that changed the world by the London Design Museum. Until now the Cube was only available in the UK as an import. To ret

The new horror novel 'Forest of Amber' by Scott Johnson

The latest novel from Scott Johnson is out now, just in time for Christmas! Forest of Amber is Scott's fourth book. What's the new novel about? 'It's a horror novel that's grounded in folklore. It's a dark psychological chiller. A couple are trying to save their relationship by going on a camping break. Things don't turn out as they'd hoped. It's an examination of human traits; the two main characters have characteristics and faults that we all have, they're troubled, they're angry, they're surviving day-to-day. It also suggests that there's no such thing as wholly good and bad, we're all a mix of good and evil. It's all a matter of perspective. One of the underlying themes that runs though the story is religion and sin. What is it? What do we do with it? Do we all carry sin and guilt irrespective of a religion or is it purely a man-made concept? The novel is an allegory for sin, punishment and forgiveness.' Amber’s life

Chinese tech giants Lenovo have teamed up with Italian motorcycle maker Ducati to launch a 'racy' new laptop at CES2020 – the Lenovo Ducati 5. Check out the product promo video . Reminds me of Destiny's Child's 'Independent Woman' video which featured Ducati's 748 motorbikes. "Ducati. A symbol of speed, performance, and innovation. The Lenovo Ducati 5 taps into that spirit. Dynamic and aesthetically engineered, it fuses pure horsepower with style and verve. From the metallic racing chassis elements, this special-edition 14" laptop is sure to ignite your passion. Start your engines." T he limited edition Ducati Lenovo 5 comes with a Ducati Corse logo and red racing stripes. The pattern on the vents is also similar to the Ducati Monster bike trellis frame. Another nice touch is the startup chime which sounds like a revving MotoGP bike. Apart from that the specs are standard: 10th gen Intel Ice Lake Core i5-1035G1 8 GB  RAM 1 TB PCIe
