The only problem with this (as I found out the hard way marking times on a bus schedule) is that, once you save the PDF, you can't undo the annotations when you open it again. It appears that Preview actually adds the annotations to the PDF, rather than using some new hybrid file format or something.
Yeah, that is kind of irritating. However, dragging images from Safari to the Finder still works, so another thing you can do is navigate to the folder you want to download to in the Finder, go to Safari, start dragging the image, hit Expose if necessary, and drop the image in that folder. A little convoluted, but it works. (If Safari is in the background, you can drag stuff from it without bringing it to the foreground by holding the Command key while doing so.)
Unfortunately, it looks like you can't drag images from Safari to folders in the Dock.
While they've chosen to not include the Firewire cable with the iPod, you can still buy it separately (see the specs page for details). I would be surprised if the iPod didn't charge through that. It looks like the Firewire cable is $19 and the power brick is $29.
Speaking as the owner of an original 5 GB first-generation iPod, I haven't hardly used the power brick since I got my current Powerbook. I only had to use it before because I had a Powerbook G3 Lombard with a Newer Firewire2Go card, but it didn't have a powered bus, so I had to charge it off the wall.
I just installed the update about a half-hour ago, and upon trying to launch Mathematica 5.0.0, I was greeted with the registration screen. I went through it and the program generated a different machine number than it had before (I checked it against the old one in the email). Did anyone else have this problem?
I have a Fastlane MIDI-USB interface, and it works perfectly for me. There is a strange quirk with the setup process, though; for some reason, the Clockworks program that gets installed with the drivers (mentioned by another poster, found here) doesn't actually recognize the MIDI interface (it'll complain about no devices being connected). Audio MIDI Setup, found in/Applications/Utilities, sees it just fine, though, and you can set it up from there (create a new keyboard device and connect it to the corresponding ports on the icon).
Interestingly enough, Times New Roman was first used in the Times of London and probably drawn by Brits Victor Lardent and Stanley Morison, so its origins are decidedly non-American. However, there's been evidence unearthed that Times New Roman was actually originally drawn by American yacht designer Starling Burgess.
What I found interesting was that they're not using the Chicago 12 font on the iPod mini, like they do on the original iPod, but rather Espy Sans 10 Bold, one that most of us haven't seen since OS 9 and the Newton. I personally think it looks more stylish, but they probably chose it because it's a slightly denser and shorter font that would fit better on the smaller screen (compare the screenshots on the iPod and iPod mini).

Did you look at it? The front face has eleven sides, so that face is an undecagon (or 11-gon), and the whole thing is a right undecagonal prism.
I'm not sure what an "undecagonal-faced prism" is, as written in the original write-up, though. Also, the case has thirteen faces, rather than eleven.
