Leopard, more evolutionary than revolutionary, isn't expected to cause the kind of stir that occurred when Apple launched iPhone earlier this year or announced in 2005 it was switching to Intel's microprocessors. But analysts say springing Leopard on the market now will once again allow the CUpertino company to trumpet its consumer-friendly software.

If you were to be given a chance to write one last blog post, or to record one last podcast, or to deliver one last lecture, what will you say?
Many of us are not given this chance. Or rather, we had our last blog post, last podcast, or last lecture. Or last dinner, or last picnic, or last trip, or last what-ever. It's just that we didn't realize it was the very last. Unless, of course, we live everyday like it's the very last day of your life.
Carnegie Mellon computer-science professor Randy Pausch gave just such a "last" lecture. Lat month, he was given "just a few months" to live. And his lecture is here.

There's a flurry of activity around a common theme: making digital music truly mobile, instead of contained in music layers that get topped up at desktop PCs. But what will be the effect of this newfound musical mobility? Could it makr a substantive change in the digital-music experience? Or will wireless buying and sharing remain mere offshoots of the familiar PC/MP3 player ecosystem?

Given Mail's capabilities and ease of use, I wouldn't suggest buying Office just so you can use Entourage unless — like me — you need a good newsreader, lust after its other ocmponents, or have many types of e-mail accounts. On the other hand, if you already own Office, you'll find that Entourage is so central to the suite and so tightly integrated with the other applications that you should definitely give it a try. You may find that you prefer it to Mail.
