Correct me if I’m wrong, but pulling up Google now yields a styilized blue g instead of the classic G.

.Mac to be renamed Mobile Me?
Clues in the recent iPhone SDK point to a impedding name change for .Mac, and after further digging the consensus is that its new name will be “Mobile Me”. Okay, kinda lame…
Hopefully they can make up for their poor naming skills with a revamp of .Mac, maybe some nice upgrades so it doesn’t suck!

$300 Hackintosh
This is just a concept, while the hardware should be compatible I cannot vouch for this as I haven’t built one yet. I am however planning on building one in the next few weeks after which I will post a full breakdown.
Case: Linkworld MicroATX Mini Tower with 430W Power Supply
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX
Processor: 2.2GHz Pentium E2200 (Dual Core)
Memory: Transcend JETRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB
Optical Drive: Lite-On 20X DVD±R DVD Burner
[ View prices ]The price of the above configuration comes to $297.94 (not including shipping and handling), you can of course save some money by switching to a slower processor, smaller hard drive, less memory, or downgrading to just a DVD drive. Also of note, this doesn’t include a licensed copy of Leopard, which adds a solid $119 to its pricetag.

Corkboard Mac
Kind of a cool idea…
So if you have an older PowerBook laying around and a corkboard and some push pins, why not give it a try? Or if it’s an iBook, go with the iBook server idea.
There’s another shot of the corkboard mac on his website.
