Still Remembering Rashawn
From Desire Brazell:
There will be a march on Saturday, August 30th at 12:00pm pertaining to the case of Rashawn Brazell which is still open. The march will begin at Gates Avenue & Broadway. It will end at Nostrand Avenue & Fulton in Brooklyn..Come and join us if you've lost a loved one. Even if the case was solved, come out and let it be known people should be made aware of the crimes that are being committed against our sons, daughter, mothers, sisters, brothers and fathers. Hope to see you there.
Desire Brazell, Rashawan Brazell's Mom

The iMac , 10 Years Later
From Insanely Great News:
The original iMac (LowEndMac), widely credited with "saving Apple," shipped on this date 10 years ago. A bit quaint by current standards, Apple's Bondi-blue wonder shipped with Mac OS 8.1 running on a 233MHz G3 with 32MB RAM, 4GB disc, 24X CD-ROM drive, 1024x768 CRT and an integrated 56 Kbps modem—state-of-the-art features at the time.

32 Years Later...
Happy Birthday Apple.
Apple (Computer) Inc. was born on this date, 1976. Now if I could finally get a new computer. Eight and a half years on this iMac is enough.

The First iPhone Virus... Not!!
When will these attention whores (the "virus" writers and Mac "news"/rumor sites) stop!?
The First iPhone Virus ArrivesWe were all waiting for it and it's finally happened. The first iPhone trojan has been discovered.
Targeting only "jailbroken" iPhones (which have been modified to allow the installation of third-party applications), this trojan masquerades as an update Erica's Utilities and is named "113 prep." Simply running the application causes no harm - it simply prints the word "shoes" to the screen. Uninstalling the application, however, removes certain files from the iPhone's /bin directory, making it impossible for various applications to function correctly.
I'm not going to provide a direct link to the screaming banshees that wrote the above (especially since it's actually a rather harmless trojan). Nor will I quote the niggardly "security" firm meatheads because they're trying to scare up potential customers. Like several posters have written on various Mac-centric websites about anyone that was foolish enough to jailbrake their iPhones: The chickens are coming home to roost!
