If you’re in the US, and reading this in time to take advantage of it, let me congratulate you on being very dedicated to your RSS feeds. It is clear that you really deserve what I am about to reveal.

So what am I babbling about? One simple word: 1Password. Here’s another to get you excited: free. Now, here are some about the offer’s limitations: Thanksgiving day only.

Yesterday Apple released security update 2008-005 which was supposed to fix the DNS flaw I recently complained about Apple not having fixed yet.

Kid Rock has spoke to the BBC over the iTunes store, and publicly letting the world know why he won’t sell his music in the largest music store in the US. After hearing the success of iTunes hitting the big 5 billion, It’s hard to comprehend why a musician might not want to be in the store.

Despite not being on the online music shop, his album made it to number one in the US last year. His reasoning for not selling his music through the service is based on claims that iTunes is stuck on a model in which the artists do not get paid and Apple and the labels do.

The news train is stopping for fuel after the long awaited WWDC keynote. Nothing in the way of news seems to have happened so instead of leaving you on the dimly lit platform waiting for the next bandwagon to jump on, I thought I would provide you with this awesome YouTube fodder that is of Apple’s iconic design over the past 30 years.
