Apple has begun to air two new "Get a Mac" ads that continue to target Microsoft's "Laptop Hunters" ad campaign which has directly attacked
Apple's higher prices for PC's. These ads try to quell the idea that Mac's cost more and try to point out, yet again, that Mac's have
"superior" functionality and quality. One of the new ad's called "Top of the Line" features Patrick Warburton - well known for his portrayal
of David Puddy from the Seinfeld Sitcom. Top of the Line focuses on potential viruses and other "headaches" that may affect PC's, but not Macs.
The second ad, called "Surprise" was also posted today featuring a similar message.

How to check your Hotmail in Safari (3 or) 4
Like a lot of other issues with Hotmail and non-IE browsers, you just need to change the User Agent string to fool Hotmail into thinking it is dealing
with a browser it knows about. In Safari, this is pretty easy to do. As far as we can tell, however, Safari doesnt remember the User Agent settings
from session to session, so you would need to reset the User Agent for each new session that you want to check your Hotmail account.

IBM Hits Supercomputer Trifecta
IBM snared the top three spots in the TOP500 Supercomputer record book and had a total of 210 systems on the list, the most of any upper computer
vendor, the company said Wednesday. IBM also had the most aggregate performance on the list with 5.6 petaflops—48 percent of the total—and
the most systems in the top 10, top 50 and top 100.
The official results were reported during the International Supercomputing Conference
in Dresden, Germany, where the bi-annual listing of the World's TOP500 Supercomputer sites was released. Leading the pack was IBM's much-
ballyhooed Roadrunner supercomputer, which operates at 1 petaflop or 1,000 trillion calculations per second.
The speed demon was built for
the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration to ensure the safety and reliability of the nation's nuclear weapons
stockpile.
