On iPads and Hospitals
For some doctors at Johns Hopkins, the iPad can save an hour to an hour and a half per day — time that would otherwise be spent on collecting paper printouts of medical images, or heading to computer workstations to look them up online. Many doctors say that bringing an iPad to the bedside lets them administer a far more intimate and interactive level of care than they’d previously thought possible.

A History of QuickTime
Thomas Brand, describing QuickTime 1:
Before the introduction of QuickTime, only specialized computers with dedicated graphics hardware could playback color video. In 1991 very few people had access to such a computer, let alone own one.

Apple has been bringing people content ever since.

Firefox to Drop Leopard Support? [UPDATED]
Mozilla engineering manager Josh Aas proposed ending support for OS X Leopard in six months. It lets Mozilla address any final bug or security fixes and gives Leopard owners time to upgrade if they want. Leopard owners don’t have to upgrade as the current version of Firefox will continue to work. They just won’t receive any supplemental security fixes or enhancements to the browser.
While Hodgkins doesn’t mention this, dropping Leopard will mean PPC-based Mac users will be left behind as well.

The 15-inch Air
MG Siegler, on the rumored 15-inch MacBook Air:
I wouldn’t be surprised to see some sort of consolidation. Just pure speculation here, but maybe the Air becomes simply the “MacBook” and the focus is on the 11, 13, and new 15-inch models. Meanwhile, the MacBook Pro drops the 13-inch model and focuses on the 15, and 17-inch models.
I agree.
