I just love articles like this…
The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we’ve tested this year - or for that matter, ever - is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro’s PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway’s E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook’s score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn’t care less whether you run Windows.

I like the look of the iPhone - I want one even. But it’s hardly the single greatest invention of the year… Thankfully someone out there has put some reasonable thought into this:
Invention of the year. Take some time and dwell on that statement for a moment. Not invention of the month. Not invention of the week. Not gadget of the year. Invention of the year!
…
The iPhone may be “pretty” but it certainly does not reduce pollution, protect people from hurricanes, distributes solar energy, or allow an amputee to have a finger.
This is not to say the iPhone isn’t amazing but to give it Time Magazine’s Invention of the Year is truly an embarrassment to the magazine.
Definately gadget of the year - but no way invention of the year. There are much more worthy examples in the article, let’s face it, the iPhone won because it’ll sell magazines. I sometimes wonder about the culture of today…

You know… I HAD been wondering this!!!
Ever wonder how the power LED shows through the aluminum of Apple’s new wireless keyboard when it’s on, but blends into the metal when it’s off? Here’s how.

Great news! Straight from the horses mouth, (well, Steve’s anyway) Apple have announced that an iPhone SDK will be coming in February.
Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers’ hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers.

Update: if that dissapears (as there seems to be no permalink for this article), have a read of Mac Rumors copy of the whole article.
I’ve just got one of the new Apple wireless keyboards. I have to say - i’m very impressed with it! It’s incredibly thin, good to look at, and doesn’t seem to gather as much crap in it as the old Apple keyboard. 
Little did I know that it’s even quite smart about people hitting the caps lock key by accident. I like it even more now (as I do hit the caps lock key quite a lot by accident)!
But I did notice something odd. I rarely use the Caps Lock key, but often accidently bang it, missing the left Shift key. I would feel the mistake while typing, but then I’d look down and see Caps Lock hadn’t been engaged after all. Oh, I must have just imagined my mis-strike.
Over the next few weeks, this kept happening to the point where I started questioning reality. I was positive I hit it. This required scientifical investigation.
