From Apple Hot News: “At first glance, Dr. Robert Gallo doesn’t look like Superman. Yet consider his extraordinary powers. He’s the father of 12 children. He’s a popular OB-GYN who remains on a first-name basis with hundreds of patients through every phase of their lives. And he delivers more than 200 babies a year. Luckily, he’’s got a Mac-based practice to help keep him organized.” This is definitely a cool read. I hadn’t known about Mac Practice until now, but this EMR certainly seems to work wonders for that doctor’s office. Here’s the link.

New vistas in scientific visualization
From Apple Hot News: “UC Irvine’s HIPerWall, a new, record-breaking, 200-megapixel display system composed of 50 30-inch Apple Cinema Displays powered by 25 Power Mac G5s, allows scientists to visualize their ever-growing data sets with unprecedented clarity. [Apr 21, 2006]” This is pretty cool! Take a look at the photo. Unbelievable! 🙂 Here is the link.
Apple to expand recycling

Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3
Downloaded Bonjour for Windows, tried it out, and I’m a little disappointed. All it does is to allow you to share printers across the network. True enough, worked very easily to allow me to install the shared printer from my iMac, but I expected it to allow me to see the shared Mac drives as well. See below for a snippet from Cult of Mac:
“Apple made Bonjour for Windows 1.0.3 available today. Bonjour is Apple’s implementation of zero-configuration networking — advanced auto-detection of other networked devices, basically, without the need for IP address knowledge. It’s also an integral part of sharing iTunes and iPhoto libraries, as well as networked printers. Apple’s been committed for a little while to making this truly cross-platform; the source is open, and Windows support has been out there for awhile. I don’t see this new Windows version as an indication of a product launch, just Apple placing its claim on simplified network creation — AppleTalk for the next generation. Plus, the more broadly Bonjour is supported, the better off Mac users will function in mixed-platform environments.”
