Good day to be a geek


Yesterday was a good day in the scheme of geekiness, with the releases of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy film.
Reviews of Tiger:
Wall St. Journal (Walter Mossberg); NY Times (David Pogue). The NY Times even devoted an Editorial Observer column to the debut of Tiger: The Strange Pleasure of Upgrading Software.
For more technical details, there are reviews at Macintouch and Ars Technica. For a more in-depth look at features, see Daring Fireball: <a href=http://daringfireball.net/misc/2005/04/tiger_details">Tiger Details.
Hitchhiker’s Guide:
Salon.com (Stephanie Zacharek); Slate (David Edelstein); NY Times (Manhola Dargis); BBC News (Darren Waters).
Combining movies and the Mac, Apple is featuring the trailer for Serenity in high definition. (Requires the new QuickTime 7.) Shiny.
