De manhã cedo fomos à Embaixada Americana dar entrada com o pedido de renovação do visto americano. Proibido levar qualquer aparelho eletrônico, ou seja, ipod, celular e laptop ficaram no hotel escondidos na mala.Revista policial na entrada digna de aeroporto para uma viagem internacional. Entrando e atravessando o jardim, nos ajuntamos a uma fila de umas 50 pessoas, que logo chegaria a umas 100 pessoas. 45 minutos de espera para apresentar os documentos. 15 minutos para se entrevistados. 3 minutos de entrevista. Espanto do funcionário consular com os 16 carimbos de entrada nos EUA - "se esse povo quisesse ficar lá, já tinha ficado" - perguntou com que frequência íamos para os EUA, quem era (nome do nosso amigo que nos hospeda sempre que chegamos lá) e enfim, a aprovação.

Fortune reports Apple sales up 60% in February. Can there possibly be a link to several colleges' decisions to offer all incoming freshmen free MacBooks or iPods? I've learned to be computer bilingual, but it doesn't mean I have to like it.

Am Rande der dritten Reparatur meines Macbook hatte ich ein halbes Stündchen Zeit, um ausgiebig ein Macbook Air zu befummeln. Ohne Beaufsichtigung durch Verkäufer, ohne Publikumsandrang, und ohne Diebstahlsicherung, so daß ich es vollkommen ohne Eile und ohne Bedenken von allen Seiten betrachten konnte. Es ist einfach schön, in einen Laden zu kommen, wo man nicht wie ein flüchtiger Verbrecher behandelt wird.

The reality is that today the Mac platform is relatively safe. There are hundreds of thousands of viruses and other malicious software programs floating around for Windows, but less than 200 are known to target the Mac, and many of those are aimed at versions of the Mac OS prior to Mac OS X (and thus have no effect on a modern Mac).
