Rumours of the Apple guru’s death are, er, a little premature.

Not yet being an iPhone user, I can’t tell you how well or not Apple’s new MobileMe service works with it. But I definitely think it’s a much-needed improved over .Mac, despite the daft cutesy name. I’ve been a .Mac user for some years – mainly as a limited pre-Google online access/backup option for mail and docs. but with the advent of Google Mail, Docs, etc. I had been using it’s awkward set-up less and less. But MobileMe has at last made this under-used utility a lot more user-friendly. Log on and there’s now one simple screen with easy-to-follow icons for Mail, Contacts, Address Book, Photos and iDisk. It’s much easier to sync, upload and retrieve backed-up docs (although unlike Google Docs you can’t create any new documents within the MobileMe environment). Pricing is still not cheap – $99/year but you get an increased 20GB of storage ($49 for an extra 20GB). If you’re syncing between different Macs, an iPod Touch and an iPhone, it’s money well spent.

Just came across this site, courtesy of a mention on MacBreak Weekly. It’s an hilarious piss-take of politically-correct whites written by Canadian writer Christian Lander – or as he puts it: “This is a scientific approach to highlight and explain stuff white people like. They are pretty predictable.”
Sample: “White people will frequently show up to various events 15- 35 minutes early for no reason at all.”
And: “If a white person really, REALLY, doesn’t like something or someone, he or she may angrily say something to the effect of, “This is exactly the same kind of thing that Hitler used to do!” accompanied by varying levels of profanity based on blood-alcohol content.”
The blog has been so successful that there’s now a book, released this week. You can find out more about Lander in this LA Times piece.
