Apple's October Event + Me Trying to be Funny

Today was the "Back to Mac" event where some new releases were introduced:


1) Apple has unveiled a netbook -- an 11-inch MacBook Air on the market for $999 and now comes with a built in disc drive! Just kidding MacBook Airs are still not worth it.
2) FaceTime is now available on Macs, for free videocalling between Mac and iPhone (only works with WiFi) shhh if I write it in small people can still be dissapointed after buying their iPhone 4 and realising there is no point of videochatting on the phone when you can just whip out your laptop.
3) iLife ‘11 was released, including new versions of iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand, whatever floats your boat.
4) OS X is getting a Mac App Store that works on the desktop just like on the iPhone, are you thinking what I'm thinking...doodle jump on your mac?
5) OS X’s next major revision is OS X 10.7 Lion, and incorporates iPad-like interface elements. Notice the pattern between the softwares (Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard and now Lion), this is a big step for creativty of names in Apple who are used to just using the prefix i-. Although I'm not going to lie iLion a pretty cool name.

Wow, a laptop this thin and can still hold a disc drive, incredible!...Oops nevermind.

2,000 Year Old Dead Sea Scrolls...Online?

Many of you are, have or will learn about the Hellenistic period in western civilisation, and here is a primary source from that time in the news. The dead sea scrolls are ancient manuscripts of jewish text found in pottery jars around Qumran in what is now the Palestinian Authority in 1947 and considered one of the most important archaeological finds of the century. These 2000+ year old papyrus and leather manuscripts are being digitised by the Israeli antiques authority and google, and are planned to be made public when online.

This is not the first historic document to be digitised, currently the whole 225 foot long Bayeux tapestry is online scene by scene. Although this manuscript is over 1000 years younger than the dead sea scrolls, it just shows the reaches and significance of online storage.

After reading this, I started to think about text books, magazines and artifacts and how we could be in the beginning of a period where everything is digitized...duhn duhn DUUUHN
