  • Oscars may be headed to worst ratings ever - CNN.com: Poor Jon Stewart. I actually watched the entire Oscars telecast this year (for the first time in awhile), and I actually thought it was pretty good. I think this has less to do with Jon, and more to do with the general decline of big media.

  • FreeBSD 7 has been released: The latest stable release of FreeBSD is out. I'm going to the the changes, and it looks like the biggest new feature is vastly improved SMP performance. I may have to spend some time soon upgrading my personal box.

  • Stuff White People Like: From Anjali, a blog cataloging what's in for people of my skin pigmentation. It's funny because it's true.

  • MacNN | Apple exec Cook talks Mac, iPod, Apple TV: Snippets of an interview with Tim Cook. This should end the debate as to what business Apple is in (hardware, software, consumer electronics). Apple is in the innovation business.

  • MetaRAM quadruples DDR2 DIMM capacities, launches 8GB DIMMs: And speaking of cheap RAM, Ars profiles a new startup that is claiming a massive increase in memory densitiy for the existing DDR2 standard. I'll believe it when I see it, but a machine with 265GB for $50,000 sure sounds awesome.

  • MacNN | 4GB mem upgrades for new Macbooks: Memory has gotten ridicuously cheap. Apple charges $400 to upgrade from 2GB to 4GB on the new MacBooks. OWC charges $100 for two 2GB sticks - and you get to keep the RAM that Apple ships!
