Are you wondering how HOTiSO managed to get a copy of the alleged final version of Apple’s Mac OS X Snow Leopard? Well, Mac Rumors is reportedly showing a legit image of a final production Snow Leopard box and disc (in Portuguese) and they conclude that this can only mean that at least some of the discs in certain regions are available if you know the right people.

It’s readily available for download, but Apple is making it hard to justify the time needed to download a 6GB+ disc by making the upgrade only $30.

Portable Blu-ray Super Multi Drive

This isn’t really all that great of a deal ($289???!!!), but it does look nice. I just can’t imagine myself ever wanting to watch a Blu-ray film so bad that I’d splurge on this especially since it’s just an extra thing I have to carry around. It’d probably be more convenient to rip the damned disc.

Burton – It’s Always Snowing Somewhere

October 6, 2008 @ 6:24 pm

This past August, Burton released a dual-disc DVD movie featuring their worldwide team of snowboarders. And just like everything they produce, the Burton snowboarding movie, entitled “It’s Always Snowing Somewhere”, is absolutely fantastic and visually captivating.

I received a copy of the DVD feature recently and I really enjoy watching it. It’s got incredibly great music and the movie takes you to places on this earth that you would probably never get to see or visit. I’m so jealous of the Burton team for being able to go to these places and carve these mountains, all while saying that it’s all in a day’s work.

“It’s Always Snowing Somewhere” stars Shaun White, Terje Haakonsen, Gigi Rüf, JP Solberg, Heikki Sorsa, Nicolas Müller, Tadashi Fuse, Frederik Kalbermatten, Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, Tadashi Fuse, DCP, Mads Jonsson, Trevor Andrew, Keegan Valaika, Kevin Pearce, Danny Davis, Kazuhiro Kokubo, Mikkel Bang, Mikey Rencz, Peetu Piiroinen, and the Smalls Team.
