Nike and Apple have teamed up to offer a running kit that will track your running stats through an iPod Nano and now the iPod Touch. Soon to come will be the Nike+ capability on the iPhone and iPhone 3G. The kit from Nike is $29.00 and then you need to own a pair of Nike+ shoes or buy the shoe pouch that attaches to any shoe. Learn all about the capabilities here. I’ve been using the product for a while now and love it.

I came across a great website for Mac owners today. It’s called Boxee. It allows you to stream online TV shows and movies right through your Mac or Apple TV. The service is in beta form right now and is free to use. You’ll need to sign up on the site and wait for a spot or you can find someone who is already a user and ask them to invite you to join. I tried out the service on a Macbook Pro and a 42″ LCD HD
TV. The picture quality was great and the speed was fantastic.
Last week Apple announced a new lineup of Macbook, Macbook Air, and Macbook Pro notebooks. Apple also released a sleek new lineup for Cinema displays. Check them out on Apple.com! As of right now Apple has not released a 17″ version of the Macbook Pro. I hope they do soon.

Paul Newman, a screen hero for more than half a century and the head of a philanthropic food empire for the past 25 years, has died, it was announced Saturday. He was 83.
It’s a very sad piece of news for many admirers of Mr. Newman. I always enjoyed his roles in films and the efforts he made through charity, especially The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.
