Last week it was Wave - now it's Google Chrome for Mac. So far a very pleasant experience.
but Intel only. Same for Picasa for Mac I now find. I'm more obsolete than I thought (sigh). - David Nash
I soldiered on with a Power PC iMac for 5 years as the world changed around me, before knuckling under this year at the prospect of Snow Leopard incompatibility. Picasa and Chrome are a bonus... - Tim Ostler

The coming of CarTones - Tim Ostler
Interesting to see Google Wave was developed in Sydney, as this use case seems so quintessentially an Oz thing.
Intricate interface seems perfectly adapted for the kind of "gaggle of friends planning an event" that personally I am so rarely a part of.
Exploring Google Wave (thanks @ifuller1).
Microsoft Pink dying & taking Windows Mobile with it? - SlashGear - http://www.slashgear.com/microso...
"Windows Mobile and the Zune teams have already been duplicating each others’ work as the projects have been kept segregated; now it’s transpired that the Pink team have been doing the same, and not only that but potentially cannibalizing elements of both (but particularly the Windows Phone platform). It makes for an interesting read – Apple Insider also chart the development of the various mobile platforms, including Android and iPhone – together with a worrying diagnosis for Microsoft’s mobile outlook." - Tim Ostler

A comparison of growth curves for Myspace, Facebook and Twitter. I'm always glad to see any enterprise belonging to Rupert Murdoch being eclipsed - too bad it has to be Zuckerberg who's the beneficiary. Twitter meanwhuile shows signs of topping out... - Tim Ostler

Citroen Revolte Concept Breaks Cover - Photos (via feedly) - http://www.worldcarfans.com/1090909...
Ludicrous concept by Citroën purporting to revive the 2CV spirit. Like the Mini (sorry, MINI), it seems to be an exercise in applying a spurious glamour and muscularity that was never part of the original concept. - Tim Ostler

BBC - Earth News - Giant rat found in 'lost volcano' (via feedly) - http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth...
BBC explorers find a new species of giant rat deep in the jungle of Papua New Guinea. The rat, which appears to be rather amiable, measures 82cm long, placing it among the largest species of rat known anywhere in the world. It's also interesting to reflect on how it is now TV stations that are sponsoring expeditions that make such discoveries. - Tim Ostler
