What is RSS?

Guess what I'll be banging on about here? You guessed it - all my Mac stuff. Now, I hear you. You;re saying that there are plenty of people covering the Mac scene and that another one doing the same thing is just boring.

That's where I'll be different. I'll be sharing the stuff I learn and use. I won't be just rehashing the latest press releases. To be honest, that sort of "me too" reporting isn't fun and doesn't really add a lot of value to the world.

My aim is to add value to your Mac life.

Pssst...want to sign up for ... something

Optus, one of the Australian carriers that'll definitely be selling the iPhone 3G Down Under, is letting current and new customers sign up for a place in a queue for an iPhone.

Pop over to their sign-up site to join the queue.

Here's the kicker - there's no word on pricing or contracts and you'll need to pay a $100 "holding deposit". ~~So, for a place in the queue, you pay $100, Optus gets to pocket the interest on that cash, you potentially pay credit card interest on the $100~~ (seems it's just a credit authorisation and not an actual payment) and there's no promise of a delivery date.
