…let your dad know on the show, then watch the fireworks, and make a very cool exit.

Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
It’s like a throbbing toothache of the mind
I can’t take this feeling anymore

So give me Novacaine

We all know that Apple is working on their next thing, called Snow Leopard. However this time around, after adding ever more new features with every release, they take a short break to update the system under the hood a good bit. First screenshots have emerged, but nothing exciting.

Safari 4 comes with the feature to create a stand alone browser, only for one website

Altough nothing, or minor things, are gonna change on the visible end, it’ll still be a upgrade worth getting. I’d say.

When does it release? My guess is June next year, WWDC09.

Like Snow In June.

Let’s assume for a moment, that there are other, superior people out there. Let’s assume that they are a bit ahead of us, say 1 million years. Which is possible, alright? And now say, that they have obviously mastered the interstellar travel. That would mean that have come up with a trick under their sleeve which would allow them to kinda cheat on the maximum speed limit which is the Speed Of Light. So they could, in theory, traverse greater distances at a shorter time. How they do it? Well, you know, that’s the magicians trick right now. And we as the audience are just stunned about how they do it. Like all impressive magicians tricks, people keep thinking about it, try many things to imitate or even replicate it.

You see it is important to understand that I do believe that we - in the very least have been visited my civilizations from other worlds. I do also believe that especially after lighting up the first nuke, they have once again shifted their attention toward us.

If I’m right, then their logic would dictate them that they cannot interfere with the evolution of our society, not just yet. If they would do that, the shock wave that follows would be too great, our society could not handle the load of that significance. I’m not just saying that… I do believe that in our current shape and form, the vast majority of the population would more see it as an disruption of everything, it’d be pretty much chaos all over the place.

However, they also know that we have mastered primitive space travel, you know, Space Shuttle, Apollo, ISS. Incidentally, ever since we mastered the skies and primitive space travel, curious things started to occur, which are today known as crop circles. You know these fancy patterns that appear out of nowhere in crop fields, oftentimes incredibly huge.

Over the years many theories have arisen… but all of them still fail to explain the Arecibo Formation, or the Julia Set.

Most circles show up certain characteristics. Most notable one is that the crop is bent - never broken. We did tests on crop, and found that extreme concentrations of microwave radiation on particular spots of the crop can bend it, while not breaking it. So this is the how. We also know that crop circles do sometimes have a residue of some sort of radiation, which reportedly makes people feel euphoric and happy.

The patterns varied and got ever more complex. However, none of them had the level of complexity as this one, recently found in Great Britain.

The formation, measuring 150ft in diameter, is apparently a coded image representing the first 10 digits, 3.141592654, of pi.

It is has appeared in a field near Barbury Castle, an iron-age hill fort above Wroughton, Wilts, and has been described by astrophysicists as “mind-boggling”.

You know, if you couldn’t directly communicate, but still want to leave a message, you’d put in a puzzle. And the puzzle’s result should be something that is the same thing, everywhere in the universe. What we know, they know. And what is the same everywhere in the universe? Numbers.

And what number seems to be the one universal truth? Pi.

And this is what the circle represents. It is said to be the most complex one ever. If this is indeed coming from people in higher places, then they sure have humor and intelligence, to put such a universal constant into such a beautiful piece of art.

It is my belief that crop circles is a messaging system, without directly interfering in our society, letting us know they are there. If this is indeed the case, then I have to hand it to our peaceful visitors, who sure know how to keep our minds busy, and make the answer even more exciting.

Let’s just say we have peaceful friends in higher places.

Long story short. The much anticipated 1.0 version of the Windows API interpreter for POSIX systems has now hit the servers, and is here for your pleasure.
