There exists a certain ecosystem of loyalty among Mac users. There always has. From the intelligent minority in its early days, PC users characterized Apple-heads as black-nailed tweekers. Today, the mainstream Mac user more likely shops at Brooks Brothers or Façonnable, and the extent of his tweeking is his 2-a-day 4-shot lattes.
Mac has never been positioned [...]

LeBron to sign for $1?

I really like this spirit of this article, which argues LeBron should mimic the ‘97 return of Steve Jobs, and take the league minimum for a salary(which happens to be just over $1 million), and then perhaps even give that to charity.  Professional basketball needs a little more creative edge.

What would Galileo do (WWGD)? Read a good post in the WSJ this morning on East Anglia and the implications for scientist and science around the world. What happened? For starters, careful calculations were replaced with catchy Gore-ish pathos. Scientist bowed before the altar of grants and government finance, yielding an unhealthy amalgam of postmodern [...]

What does this video have to do with Christmas? For historians, these images may serve as an interesting illustration of the balance of power in maritime empires in the last two centuries.

I read this story and wondered who will reach these children with Albinism who are in hiding? They need help. And the gospel.
From the report, “Body parts of albinos are sought in some regions of Africa because they are believed to bring wealth and good luck. Attackers chop off limbs and pluck out organs to [...]

Can you name the last tome you finished? Can you name the last 1000+ page book you picked up and read only enough to consider its message? Hopefully, that was this morning in your Scripture time, but, aside from that, when was the last time you thirsted for a long day filled only with reading?
