Silly Reporter – theaustralian.jpg (JPEG Image, 879×996 pixels)
theaustralian.jpg (JPEG Image, 879×996 pixels) Got to love reporters that dont quote their sources. The original content was written by someone on a comedy/fake/spoof news site and quickly propogated itself over the internet on other news sites (where the original article was referenced).

NeoOffice/J Downloads 722 NeoOffice/J has been released for the Mac. From what I understand this is a Mac OS X port of the OpenOffice 1.1.4 product using Java to write the interface.
