Amazon.ca taking pre-orders for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

PREORDER Leopard%21%3F 20071029 183659 Amazon.ca taking pre orders for Mac OS X 10.5 LeopardYou read that right: Amazon.ca has announced that it’s taking pre-orders of a software title that was rather ceremoniously released last week. I don’t know if the folks at Amazon.ca (that’s .ca not .com) were asleep at the wheel or if they set the DeLorean’s time circuits to the wrong month, but the picture at right shows the email that arrived in my inbox this morning. Searches for Mac OS X 10.5 last week on Amazon.ca came up dry so it seems the Leopard rollout on Amazon’s Canadian page was a bit snafu’d. A better shot can be seen on my Flickr photostream.

Doc! You built a Mac mini…into a DeLorean!?

161476195 2efaa58a76 m Doc! You built a Mac mini...into a DeLorean!?Setting our time circuits to “last week” when I should have posted this story, we meet up with Ryan Brandys who has built a “carputer” with a difference–he’s installed his Mac mini into a DeLorean. It features a remote actuated hood upon which the custom mounted Mac mini’s video readout is projected at 37″ allowing Branys to use Front Row to turn his car into a mobile media center. It doesn’t go back in time, but with the big screen under the hood and the audio system cranking in the cab, he’s got a drive-in movie set to play the entire Back to the Future trilogy wherever he goes.
