Order pizza from a video game?

I suppose it is a perfect fit. Yet really, do we need this functionality in our computer games? The game in question, EverQuest is also strange for me to understand as it involves a significant amount of game time and effort -- we are talking hundreds of hours! I suppose the main question I have is: If someone can sit and play these games all day and still have money to order pizza delivered. Where can I signup for this job?

Google's new map service amazing!

http://maps.google.com/

Found out about this on Robert Scoble's weblog. This is one of the best web experiences I have had in a long time. Well worth checking out. If only it was released in Australia. Hopefully it will not be too long.

Example Robert used: One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052

Apple's new baby could make some noise

I'm really impressed by the new Apple Mac Mini offering to come out of this years Mac Expo. It could have a significant impact on Apple's adoption (sorry Switch) rate. Here are some great p0rn shots taken of someone opening his new tech toy.

For those like me interested in purchasing one of these little gems, remember to add at least another 256MB of RAM to bring it up to 512MB (if you can - add 1GB). Unfortunately the system only supports 1 bank I was told at my local Apple store (makes sense due to the size restriction). It is important to note that once you add a burner and more ram it does stack on some extra fat to the price. Some other interesting news is that the Mac Mini does not have 8x DL DVD support yet. But for those reading IT News Log.com you would have seen the update is on its way.

Even if you're not a fan of the Mac OSX or iLife '05 which is with each release becoming more and more respected throughout tech circles. Go visit Steve Job's keynote to watch him get clapped for holding up the neat little box the Mac Mini comes in.
