Audi finally released official pictures of its new SUV the Q7. From the pictures though it looks like an over sized station wagon, not very pretty. [Link]

Gus Van Sant, the director behind great movies like Elephant and Good Will Hunting just released a new movie last month called Last Days. The movie is loosely based on the last days of Nirvana’s lead singer Kurt Cobain who died in 1994. Michael Pitt who plays the lead role in the movie as a musician named Blake looks like Kurt Cobain, dresses like him and dies like him at the end of the movie. You can watch the trailer on Apple’s website [here] and you can check out the official site [here]. I can’t wait to watch this movie since I love Nirvana and it was a really shock to me when Kurt Cobain died. I was in Montreal when it happened and I remember the music channel there, Much Music played Nirvana songs all day long.

According to Mac Observer, Apple will be introducing a G5 Mac mini, new dual core G5 PowerMacs and new PowerBooks with a speed bump and HD screen at next months Apple Expo. [Link]

Someone in Kuwait has a red Ford GT with white stripes. Its rumored to be owned by someone from the Al-Wazzan family.

First mentioned at E3 back in May, the Game Boy Micro is going to be released next month priced at $99. Doesn’t sound much but when you consider the fact that the Nintendo DS, a more capable machine with dual screens and the ability to play Game Boy Advance games also costs only $120, the Game Boy Micro starts looking a bit more expensive. Still though, I will probably get one. [Link]

This site is really cool, I always wanted to learn advance techniques to pen spinning.. [Link]

You have Microsoft maps, Google maps and now A9 Maps. Now if we could only combine Google and A9 maps together. [Link]

This is the fast bandwidth test I have come across yet. [Link]

Chaos erupted this morning at the Richmond International Raceway as thousands of people stampeded through the gates in a rush to buy iBook laptop computers for $50 each.

Several people were injured as others trampled them outside a warehouse where the 4-year-old Apple laptops were being sold. None of the injuries appeared to be serious.

Thousands of Henrico County residents waited in a long line as dawn broke; many had come prepared with books, snacks, umbrellas and chairs. The first car arrived at 1:30 a.m. By 6:30 vehicles were backed up on Laburnum Avenue about a half mile to Carolina Avenue.

Even before the gates opened, the atmosphere turned surly, with people yelling at police officers who were trying to keep the crowd civil.

The gates opened at 6:54 a.m., and the stampede — literally — was on.
