500,000+ visitors and counting.
iThink that is the mark of a good blog. A blog iSimply started as a response to a situation… it has spawned so much more and all of it for no cost to me at all. Except my time, energy and combination of the two to make the RSS subscribers happy. And speaking of happy, iAm officially happy to have reached 500,000 visitors to the web pages of Thunk Different.
Thank you readers, WordPress, Apple, the Wall Street Journal, IBM, and everyone else who has published my work and made this possible. iAm humbled, iThunk none of this was possible and wouldn’t have been with out the web & the people the make it possible… you.

A Mozilla developer has discovered undocumented Mac OS X framework APIs that are being used in Safari. This discovery has led some to question if Apple is giving itself an unfair advantage, with some pointing out that if Microsoft was caught doing this it might find itself in front of a judge.

24 inch iMac Performance via Primate Labs!
August 9th, 2007 Steve Jobs announced new iMacs on Tuesday and while I’m not sure I
like the new enclosure, I do like the other improvements that come with the new iMacs like faster processors, more hard drive space, and the Santa Rosa chipset.
I thought I’d compare the performance of the latest 24-inch iMac against the previous generation of 24-inch iMacs using Geekbench 2. While I don’t have any results for the 24-inch iMac with the Core 2 Extreme processor right now, I’ll update this article once I receive results for the Core 2 Extreme processor.
Setup
- iMac (24-inch Mid 2007)
- Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.40GHz
- 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R4031)
- iMac (24-inch)
- Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.33GHz
- 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R221
- iMac (24-inch)
- Intel Core 2 Duo @ 2.16GHz
- 2.00 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
- Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Build 8R221
Primate Labs is reporting the baseline score, rather than the raw score, for each benchmark (where a score of 1000 is the score a Power Mac G5 1.6GHz would receive). Higher is better.
Results

(Jam out too a rare “Hey Jude” or Jimi while you read)
Whew…
iLife users only had to wait a year and a half for this one, luckily, it was well worth the wait. iLife 08 is the most drastic upgrade since… iLife 06. But still, iLife 06 is pretty dang neat and all for only $79.00 single user retail and $99.00 for 5 account family pack. (Go with the family pack in case you would like to purchase a G4 powerbook or want to sell your current mac.)
Wait, a G4… why would i want that? Because the prices are a little more down to earth on eBay than they are at the Apple store. iMacs… always debatable, they are truly pro-sumer these days and by the looks of the it 24 inch refurbished iMac is the best deal Apple offers with a full warranty.
The new 2.8 iMac with 500 gigs of storage and 2 gigs of RAM looks good too. Trust the video card upgrade is worth it alone, iMacs have been sorely lacking in this department, yet have still been usable, unlike the macbooks, which if you read my review from last week and simply, toys.
iDigress…
Oh yes, iLife 08 is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. iMovie alone will change the game Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Real Steve Jobs,
Thank you. The iLife ‘08 released today looks to be the most revolutionary media software package on earth. The iMacs… incredible, .Mac - Thank god, Numbers - expected, but thanks. All is all, iLife ‘08 fills in the gaps that the Leopard keynote was missing, and then some. iMovie… who is that guy who simply came up with this idea, the idea that changed media forever? I want to buy him a gift on Facebook, and then buy him a real one, doesn’t matter what it is, a beer, candy, a rainbow, whatever he wants. He deserves it. He deserves to go on more vacations. Send him to india, the pyramids, the wall, stonehenge. I’m interested to see what he comes up with. iThink we all are.

Apple says…
iMac sets new standards for elegance and power. It packs a complete, high-performance computer into its all-in-one design. With its anodized aluminum frame and glass cover, it’s striking to behold. The glossy widescreen display — available in 20- and 24-inch sizes — makes photos and movies come alive with rich color. The use of recyclable glass and aluminum makes iMac friendlier to the environment, too.
Also, iLife & .Mac, Adsense,. Google Maps, more!
