50 Reasons to Switch from Microsoft Windows to Apple’s Mac OS X ~ Chris Pirillo:
This is a nice, grown-up list of reasons to get a Mac.

I like #11:
The Apple community has been infiltrated by enough people who aren’t smug. You’re not better than me just because you run another OS or support another vendor, nor are you any less of a geek.

AMEN.

‘Bubble’ Top Auto
Anticipating that cars of the future will have all-around vision, George Bartell of Detroit built a streamlined automobile with a transparent plastic top similar to an airplane gun turret or ‘bubble’ canopy. Named the ‘Hollywood Streak,’ the car is 48 inches high, 60 inches wide and 140 inches long from bumper to bumper. It is powered by a 100-horsepower motor.”

Do want. I love how the exposure almost makes the wheels disappear, making it a nice hovercar to boot.
