Apple release the new Mac Mini – more new kit as well in Apple Store Oz

Apple Mac Mini 2009

Thanks to iPhoneiNquisitor for the news that the new Mac Mini is now on sale – click the picture above for the Apple link and confirmation of the details, inclusing iLife ’09 being part of the deal.

There are more goodies too, but the Mini is an amazing little fella. Tell your business friends they can upgrade their PCs to Minis much more cheaply than a PC box.

The BYOKBAM ( Bring Your Own Keyboard And Mouse ) is cool, because it saves money.

Computer That Reacts To Thought A Lifeline For Brain Injured

ScienceDaily (2008-11-06) — People who have suffered traumatic brain injuries and who are unable to speak or move are being given the first chance to communicate using just the power of thought — and a laptop loaded with sophisticated algorithms.

Please share this with any and all advocacy groups and philanthropists you know, a little money for this project would go a long way to giving some dear people a better chance at fulfilling their potential.

By the way, local clinical work/research here in Perth by Dr Neil Beck suggests Neurofeedback techniques can play a major role in recovery for people with head injuries.

It works with the brain’s natural  “plasticity” to develop new neural pathways.

I’ve also found Neurofeedback helpful for PTSD and Panic – a lot more efficacious than those damned SSRI’s

btw… I’ve often been called a “bleeding heart”   – well, if a heart’s not bleeding, it’s dead, and that’s OFFAL!!!
