I was checking out the server stats for BabyGotMac today, and found some surprising stuff in there. As you may be aware, the site runs Wordpress. Well, I’ve been using a plugin called ‘FireStats‘, which runs ok and keeps good live stats, but it isn’t so awesome for historical data.

Download this file from BabyGotMac (QL_Plugins.zip – 140kb) or from the developer (in Japanese).

BW Online | May 21, 2001 | Commentary: Sorry, Steve: Here’s Why Apple Stores Won’t Work:
A classic bit of punditry from BusinessWeek.
Rather than unveil a Velveeta Mac, Jobs thinks he can do a better job than experienced retailers at moving the beluga. Problem is, the numbers don’t add up. Given the decision to set up shop in high-rent districts in Manhattan, Boston, Chicago, and Jobs’s hometown of Palo Alto, Calif., the leases for Apple’s stores could cost $1.2 million a year each, says David A.

Hey, Clocky is finally for sale! Yes, yes, I know it’s not a Mac product, but damned if this isn’t awesome. I first heard of, and posted about, Clocky almost a year ago. now it appears it is finally available in mass production.
To quote my initial post:
Clocky is an innovative alarm clock that hides from you after the snooze button is pushed. It rolls off the table and randomly relocates to a new position in the room.
