Yes, I refer to all of the drinks in the picture below (Fanta, Canada Dry, and Coca-Cola) generically as Coke (Soda is acceptable, but Pop is definitely not). And it appears everyone in the South is with me!
Kevin Rose’s Apple rumors from August 23rd 2008 ended up coming true 17 days later.
Summary of Engadget’s live blog of Apple’s Let’s Rock event:
I have always wanted the ability to drive two external monitors with my Macbook Pro. The ViDock achieves this by connecting an external video card (ATI 2600XT) with your MBP via the ExpressCard slot. This leaves the MBP’s video card intact, so you can drive the laptop display and 3 external displays over DVI (at 2560x1600 - read 30” LCD). All of these features for the low high price of $499

I couldn’t find the schedule in a format like this, so I compiled this from various sources. I’d put TV information in, but all these games are on NBC or some NBC channel like USA, Universal, or the special Olympics channels.

Watching the Olympics reminds me of my high school days when I was a competitive track & field athlete. It has been a long time, so I forgot most of my personal records. I did a little googling and found a couple of my results from the past. I am sure I had results better than these (ran a 11.87 in the 100m), but these results are a good start :)
