Apple's revolutionary new product

The site Apple Insider is reporting that Apple is working on a, get this, TWO BUTTON MOUSE!!! Yes, it’s crazy, I know, but it does make a lot of sense. They are trying to push the Mac platform on long-time Windows users, and what’s the first gripe they usually have about using a Mac? “What’s up with that one buttoned mouse, how do I right-click?” So it’s about time, but what kind of impression will they make by selling it for $70? Not a good one I’m sure.

Superman movie pictures

ComingSoon.net has pictures from the upcoming Superman movie set. It looks like they were taken from a helicopter too which is really strange, but works out well because they give a great perespective to the huge space ship they've created. The farm looks exactly like the one they use in the Smallville TV show too. I sure hope they don't screw this one up. The first Superman movie was pretty damned good so it is possible.

Saleen S7 Turbo

In case 500 horsepower was just never enough for you Saleen is going to be putting out a twin turbo version of their already fast as hell S7 sports car. It’s going to make 750 horsepower and 700 lbs/ft of torque from its 427 cubic inch V8. They’re looking at reaching 60mph in less than 2.8 seconds. I think Vipers and Turbo 911s usually only break into the 3.4 second range so 2.8 is freaking fast. Oh yeah, it’s also going to cost somewhere around half a million dollars too.

Heavyweight Receiver Champ

Denon announced a while ago their new flagship A/V receiver, the AVR-5805. This thing is a beast too;

10 channels at 170 watts each
Dual 5.1 zones capability
THX Ultra2 certified
6 independent power supplies
Dolby Digital EX
DTS ES 6.1
Dolby Pro Logic IIx
2 Firewire Digital Audio ports
Ethernet port for control and/or upgrades
Denon Link 3rd port for pure digital inputs
6 Coaxial Digital inputs
6 Optical Digital inputs
6 Component Video inputs
1 DVI Video input
3 HDMI Video inputs
Faroudja DCDi video scaling

All this for a low, low price of $6000 and weighing a rack bending 92 pounds! It measures a full foot high too so good luck even finding a rack to hold it. Maybe the floor would be a better option.

Ron and Fez leaving terrestrial radio?

Rumors have been flying around for months now with various hints being dropped by XM duo Opie and Anthony, but now Ron and Fez themselves are joining in on the fun. On their fan created site www.ronfez.net a special mock-error page has been posted hinting at the guys going to satellite. Ron and Fez were in NYC for a few years on 102.7FM along with Opie and Anthony prior to the whole church incident. Eventually the station changed their format and gave Ron and Fez the ax as well forcing them to move a bit south to Washington, D.C. I’ve missed their hilarity over the last few years, but would I pay $13 a month on top of equipment costs to hear them again? Not right now, but at least I have the option. Fezzie rules!

Quad CPUs Coming to the Mac?

According to MacSlash developers have found references to dual core G5s as well as four processors in the latest version of the CHUD tools. This isn't like somebody heard somebody's girlfriend's brother's cousin's mother tell their pet canary type rumor, this is one where it's documented in an actual Apple application. Seems pretty legit to me. The next MacWorld should prove very interesting if this and the long promised 3.0Ghz G5 are set to be announced. Even a quad 2.0Ghz G5 sounds impressive, but a quad 3.0Ghz G5?! Wow.
