If you’ve ever fantasized about what 150 Mac Minis might look like, well, you really are a bigger dweeb than we’d thought and we’re so totally never going to go out on a date with you, so stop asking already! Jeez. Print this photo of your dream realized out and spend some quality time in the utility closet with your nasty self.

And you thought your screen was big. At Dolphin Stadium in Miami, there was unveiled an LED display built by Daktronics that’s billed as the largest HDTV in the world. Just how big is it? How’s a 145.80-foot diagonal screen sound? The monster is 50 feet high by 137 feet across; it’s a 1750-inch screen.
Capable of 720p HDTV, it was unveiled this past weekend to season-ticket holders.

Do you feel like your current USB flash drive fulfill your needs? Perhaps 64 gigabytes of storage is more to your liking? If it is, and you have an extra $2,800 laying around, then Kanguru has just what you’re looking for. The Kanguru Flash Drive Max is a USB flash drive that weighs just .63 oz. and measures 3.6 x 0.9 x 0.6-in. Concerned that the data on the drive may corrupt? Kanguru says that the drives includes “top grade” NAND flash memory and a 10-year data retention time period. For your $2,800, you also get a sturdy aluminum case to protect your investment in. Get your bank statements ready, since the Flash Drive Max hits shelves on April 15.

Someone who claims to have an NDA with Apple, has revealed the new features MacOS 10.5, Leopard, will have. He claims all these details are already available on other websites, hence he can list them without having to worry. The most interesting bit: Leopard will ask during install if you want to install Vista or Linux on a seperate partition so you can run them simultaneously (a heavy Mac is required). Please note that the authenticity of these words is debatable at best. My take: There have been numerous rumours that Apple is going to add virtualization support to Leopard, so that might be true. And I expect Microsoft to support this. Why? Because of this, and because a Windows install equals money to MS. Whether on a Mac or not.
