Leopard is better than Vista - Walt Mossberg

Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal has put together a nice review video of Apple’s new operating system, “Leopard”.

Now I don’t necessarily agree with his closing comments about Leopard being better than Vista, but I do agree that Leopard has definately proven themselves when it comes to that ‘Wow’ effect.

South African music - who knew!

More and more lately, I’ve found myself being wowed by the wave of awesome South African music thats being released. I’ll be honest, don’t hate me, but previously I’ve not been a huge fan of South African music as a whole. There were a handful of bands that I enjoyed - Just Jinger, Watershed etc. But for the most part, South African music sounded, well, South African.
