The Daily Princetonian reports that 45% of incoming freshman use Macs this year.

Items in this article from the Washington Times:
- Roy lost 25 lbs of fat this summer
- He thinks he progressed as much as he did last summer
- Lonny Baxter said “I know it’s just a summer league, but the big fella can ball.”
- JTIII: “He’s 7-2 with great hands, great attitude and great aptitude. That’s puts him in pretty select group. Roy’s very special, maybe most of all because he knows he still has a long way to go. That’s why you know he’s going to get there.”
- JTIII also acknowledges that his staff had to teach Roy “how to run.” That’s a VERY true statement.
ROY’S SHOW STOPPING QUOTE: “I’m dedicating the next two years of my life to getting another national championship banner hanging in McDonough.”
Midnight madness is in 3 days. Can you feel it. The Paranoia is coming.

The Hoyas got a verbal committment from the #6 PG (according to Scout.com). Big time.
Ohh man, the time may come soon enough. Engadget reports that the vPod could be getting its finishing touches in Cupertino and that a pre-Christmas release is possible. That would be sweet.
The old news: Google bought YouTube for $1.65B. You can listen to the conference call with Eric Schmidt, Sergey, and many others here.
The new(er) news: The YouTube guys posted this video on their site:
Seems like their gloating some, huh? “Thanks for our million dollar payouts. Keep posting your videos. etc”
Surprising decision from the Boss. I think a good one.
Meanwhile, Rob Raissman, a TV columnist for the NY Daily News, says that the Yankees should’ve fired Torre because of TV ad revenue the Yankees could lose on the YES Network as advertisers head for the Mets success. As an outsider, I have a hard time that the NYC-area is so bandwagon that the Mets will have much higher ratings last year. Maybe I’m wrong.
(0)Deal is worth $19.2B. They could’ve bought them selves several copies of YouTube for that much. haha
Guess this means the Knicks will be bad for a while longer.
