Watching the movie “Sahara” last weekend reminded me why “National Treasure: Book of Secrets” is such a big hit.
As drug mules, bugs don't carry much. And they didn't get by customs in the Netherlands. A customs officer who took a close look at a consignment of more than 100 large, dead bugs sent from Peru to the Netherlands discovered cocaine had been stashed in their backs.

An eight-foot bug. Who has a can of Raid for that?

I just updated to Leopard 10.5.1, and have run into a rather annoying issue: Safari 3 no longer runs. It opens, stays there on the screen without loading my home page for five seconds or so, and then quits. There is no box that pops up telling me an error occurs -- it just quits.
The Mac-loving web is abuzz with reports of a problem moving files in the Leopard Finder.

Tyrannosaurus rex wasnt the only killer walking the Earth 100 million years ago.
Dragonflies with hawk-sized wing spans and millipedes longer than a human leg lived more than 250 million years ago. Scientists have long wondered why sci-fi bugs don't exist today.
For the last number of days I have been using MP3.com, now you know why my column has been very quiet. I have been busy mixing a few tunes on my laptop, doing the post processing and uploading the mp3 files that I created. You can check out my Artist's page here.
We have spent more than 40 hours tapping around the iPhone screens in an effort to find issues with the applications. This was not an easy task. The OS X graphical interface and applications are extremely solid! The bugs range from minor display issues to application crashes.
