Cassini's Got Pictures And Data

Posted by Zonk on from the mmmm-data dept.

MythMoth writes "To celebrate the anniversary of the Cassini-Huygens probe's orbital insertion, NASA's JPL has a set of fifteen amazing photos from the past year. Meanwhile, the BBC reports that some of the latest science data from the mission reveals that Saturn's ring system has its own (thin) O2 atmosphere, and that the planet's rotation seems to be slowing!"

    As current Apple systems don't seem to be subject to major variations in price, waiting may bring no, or little, benefit.

    Last year I purchased an iBook, as my laptop at the time would not adequately run Linux.

    This year saw the purchase of two Mac Mini machines - one for a relative and one for home use. They're easily the best computer-related purchases I made within the past year.

    Should you purchase an iBook, I would recommend also the purchase of a 1-gig memory module.

    Crucual, among others, have them available in their online store.
