Since the usual Domestic Log part of this entry was a bit long this time, document.write(“”); I devoted a separate item to it…

On the news side there wasn’t any that stood out specifically, besides Apple’s new keynote at the WWDC (announcing new iOS and Mac OS coming this fall). There was a few new hardware announcements (the stunning new Mac Pro) but the piece of equipment that I was expecting the most (an upgrade for the Airport Extreme) wasn’t part of the keynote, although it was indeed released (and I quickly ordered it)!

However there was many news worthy of my interest and, as usual, I collected them to share with you right after the jump:
