Apple Bloopers ...
While taking a look at the ever so cool Mac Mini on the Apple.com website I couldn't help but notice a link stating;
Effortlessly switch from a PC to a Mac.
Automatically find and move all your files, photos, music, Internet favorites, addresses and more with Move2Mac.
The blurb links to the following:
The link points to this page:
http://www.apple.com/switch/howto/software/
The page does not exist and instead you get "The page you tried was not found. You may have used an outdated link or may have typed the address (URL) incorrectly. You might find what you’re looking for in one of these areas."
So much for effortless I guess. I found it funny anyways :)

Design for a good cause: High Profile Competition
This is somewhat off topic even for me but it's for a good cause and I have a fair amount of traffic from the design perspective so I figured you might be interested in this.
THE CHALLENGE:
If you can create the best ad (according the the specs, available in the PDF on Seth Godin's site) Seth will run your ad and promote you as the designer.
He will also point to three runners-up from his (Seth Godin's) blog and will encourage his co-authors to do so as well.
SO, you do an ad on spec, and if it's great, you get publicity far and wide, leading, perhaps to not just good feelings around holiday time but plenty of new business, and maybe a shot at being on Oprah, if that's your business. Amateurs are welcome to apply.
The objectives:
1. To generate clickthrough to the Amazon page for the Big Moo
2. To generate sales of the book at that page.
3. There is no number 3.
The deadline for the contest is a week from today, so if you're going to do it, do it right now so you can submit your entry on time. (12/12 at noon EST. Send a link to your hosted ad to: seth@sethgodin.com)
Every penny they earn goes to charity. You get all the kudos. Microsoft does the right thing. They sell a lot of books. Happy holidays! And thanks.
About the book:
The Big Moo is a book written by 33 people, with 100% of the royalties going to charity. Learn more about the book The Big Moo.
This is a high-profile competition that WILL generate mass exposure for the winner. Seth Godin you might remember from books like "The Purple Cow".
Microsoft has even generously donated an ad on MSN.com for the event. Being one of the 5 most visited websites on the internet that's quite an accomplishment.
If you are interested in trying your hand at this competition head on over the Seth Godin's Blog, read the PDF Spec and get started! - Amateurs welcome - Good Luck!

Post Your Favorites (Tabs/Start Page)
I figured it was time for a goofy post, show the world your "start page(s)".
What are your start page(s) set too? Post them all if you are using tabbed browsing.
Spread the word, pass it on, let's see what's out there.
My Personal (Using Tabbed Browsing). Keep in mind 90% of what I read comes via feeds which includes almost 100% of my SharePoint reading.
