Thoughts, opinions and fascinating discoveries by Elliot, a student at USC

Now that my (still awesome) 15″ MacBook Pro is 2 generations behind the latest and greatest, I wonder:
What would be the cheapest way for me to get a new Mac?
Would it be with my ADC student membership? Or would it be with the standard student discount?
I just saw a program on TV that said scientists are puzzled about the Coelacanth, a creature they thought was extinct. It has been found to be alive in the deep sea. They compared this to dinosaurs, saying that this discovery was even more surprising than if a dinosaur walked out of the woods. Well, who knows if small dinosaurs aren’t living in the unexplored forests? How do you define a dinosaur?
It’s surprisingly hard to find these defined anywhere, so here they are.

For the iPhone programmers out there:
If you copy a Localizable.strings file from one project to another and it turns into gibberish (lots of question marks), change the File Encoding to Unicode (UTF-16).
I’m here in San Francisco for the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Lots of stuff is hidden behind an NDA, but the keynote is public, as are my photos of the preparations around Moscone West, the convention center where the conference will be held.
