What will the latest iProduct be?

ok, so we are minutes away from apple unveiling a new gadget. Wonder what it will be...

the odds are on the announcement of a tablet pc - but without the pc-ness where you will be charged through the nose to pay for the product itself and then also for accessing content such as video, music and maybe even books.

Or it could be something totally different.

Rest assured, it will look good.

Edit - and it was the iPad, a tablet PC with the same operating system that the iPhone uses. A bigger iPhone, but without the phone bits.

(or an "iPod touch, but bigger" - that seems to be a more accurate description.)

I wonder how it will sell and if it will gain market traction.

One day, they will kick you out

When I was younger (and this may still be the case in many places), there was a fear within the immigrant community - one day we will be kicked out, told to go back home.

This started decades ago from when the labourers came over to earn money with a view of returning "back home". This meant that they saved up money and sent it back, maybe even built mansions there, to eventually return to. They lived more affordable lives here - if they were going to get kicked out or leave voluntarily, there was no point building a future here.

Firefox 3.6

Just upgraded to the release candidate. and so far things are good.

Scrolling is a little faster, which is throwing me slightly - maybe it is too fast for me?

The layout etc is the same and one behavioural change by default is to open new tabs next to the tab from within which the link was clicked instead of at the end.

Clicking links on the bookmarks bar will still open the tab at the end, but links inside the page will open next to the current tab. This feature may take me some time to get used to as the grouping of tabs has no visual indications unlike in Internet Explorer 8 and I also have to fight my muscle memory.
