Engagdet.com is reporting that a line has formed at the 5th Avenue Apple Store for no official reason and has photos of the queue posted to prove it.

The New York Times had a Small Business section today with an article entitled You Can Call for I.T. Help Without Hiring a Whole Crew that talks about computer support options for those smaller organizations that can’t hire a full or even part time technical support person.
From the article:
Amy Wright, a collision repair consultant who works from her home in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, had Geek Squad set up her computer and digital camera and the wireless Internet connection in her home office, as well as the Sony video recorder her husband uses. When it came time to upgrade her computers, printers and monitors, she spent about $2,800 at Best Buy.
“You can call them for help, but you don’t have to have them on a full-time basis,†Ms. Wright said of Geek Squad.

I came across Tripletz.com today, which offers a neat way to send a different kind of message to your friends and family than the usual greetings card.
For $4.99, you can have three customized cards sent on three consecutive days to anyone. The cards can use either your own customized message to be spread out over those three days, or you can use any of the designs submitted by other users of the service.

The team behind the popular blogging software WordPress has released another update.
I’ve gone through the easy upgrade process for this site and was quickly greeted by the newly redesigned Dashboard.
There’s obviously been a good number of changes done both behind the scenes as well as with the user interface, though the security upgrades seem to be the most important.
