Arn posts a roundup of the Macworld 2006 rumors. I have always loved the work he has done there, even though MacRumors is an aggregator of rumors, not a news site itself, he seems to have a “taste†for what is good Mac news and what isn’t living up to his tag-line: “news and rumors [...]

I think what Frey did was wrong and probably potentially harmful to real drug addicts out there, but it wasn’t that interesting until I read that
LA Times reports on a California lawsuit concerning “Intelligent Design.â€
