But aside from its surprising power, the Titanium PowerBook is, simply, a work of art. From its beautiful exterior to its vastly improved LCD screen, it's a marvel to look at. The previous-generation Titanium PowerBook was equally stunning on the outside, but its LCD screen wasn't impressive at all. The new model has a higher resolution (1,280 x 854) and brightness, as well as an overall larger size (15.2 inches diagonal). And its color is much more even and less washed-out, though the quality depends on the viewing angle. [...] The PowerBook G4 800 is such an impressive piece of machinery and art that I can't help but give it a Strong Buy recommendation. The $3,200 price tag might seem a bit steep at first, but for what you get--workstation performance in a mobile package--it's well worth the price. In fact, my biggest disappointment with the PowerBook 800 was having to send it back to Apple when my review period ended.

Understanding how Link Mavens and Connectors work transformed my thoughts of how ideas spread. You can literally see the process take place online in a way that is virtually impossible in real life. [...] It's generally a five-step process:

1. An Expert (one might call her a Content Maven) Writes or Creates something interesting and puts it online (creating the critical component of any online ideavirus: the link)
2. A Link Maven comes across the link, and blogs it to their site
3. A Connector finds the link and blogs it to their site (or the aforementioned Link Maven has Connector-like traffic levels)
4. The link starts to Tip within the weblog community
5. The link Tips beyond the weblog community, as the rest of us find out about it
