By albertus,on June 30th,2011%

Today,I upgraded my Mozilla Thunderbird email client to version 5.0. To my surprise,it turned out to be faster than the previous 4.x versions.

Apple had a surprise announcement of the new Mac mini. It’s now in an all-aluminum case. The form factor is a bit shorter but wider than the previous Mac minis.

Finally,it’s official:a tablet computer from Apple named the iPad. The iPad starts shipping sometime March of this year.
