If You Love Drifting Or Formula D Racing The G4 Channel Is A Must

[D1 Drifting] As you may know you can get G4 through basically any cable all you need to do is call your provider and have them add that channel to your subscription. Even if you do in fact have cable through one of these companies you may not have the channel with your package so you may have to get it by calling the provider.

The info is no more related to the iPhone than any other 3G device, but who would read the item if 'iPhone' wasn't in the title.

[The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)] If you are running Leopard Server as a virtual machine on Leopard Server, don't you already have a license for that hardware?

Apple offers movie rentals for the UK and Canada

[Cult of Mac] With hardware, there’s now very little difference when taxes are taken into account, and I’m happy for Apple to mark things up a little in case Sterling tanks or the US Dollar rallies. In software, pricing is generally getting better (if you pretend CS3—something of an exception—doesn’t exist), and Apple again is gradually taking the piss less and less with each new release.

Eikon for Mac from UPEK - Security is just a fingertip away

[MyMac.com: Macintosh reviews and editorials] Instead of typing a user name and a long password, you simply swipe your finger on a small device, and the Mac logs you into the computer automatically and unlocks the keychain for that user’s session. No more writing down a complex password, no more worries about someone finding out your password and using it, no more forgetting, because it is your finger that authorizes your entry into the machine, and that you cannot forget.
