Apple News …

~ Apple has seeded another OS X 10.7.3 build 11D36 and it comes with no documented problem or known issues. This release includes iCloud Document Storage, Address Book, iCal, Mail, Spotlight and Safari area for developer testing. We’re getting close to a full public release!

~ Gameloft has launched a 99cent holiday game sale. Check the App Store if you want good but cheap games. BTW, the App Store freezes tomorrow.

~ Firefox v9 is out and offers OS X Lion gesture support.

~ Stand in reverence. On this day some 15 years ago Apple purchased NeXT for $400 million and brought Steve Jobs back to Apple. Without Steve Apple would be dead today.

Gays …

~ This will give you pause: James White files major HID/AIDS discrimination complaint and the petition to come down hard on Detroit’s Great Expressions Dental Care because of the horrific treatement afforded their employee, James White. They followed the guy around wiping doorknobs, repeatedly changed his schedule and then fired the guy. Shut ‘em down!

~ Republicans don’t want gays to vote for them. Newt is telling gay Iowans to vote for Obama. Ok. Will do.

~ OTOH, Santorum has a plan to win over gay voters (but it won’t work even though he is obsessed with gay people).

~ Prop 8 repeal initiative gets the green light for signature gathering. The initiative has the backing of Love Honor Cherish organization and must gather 807,615 signature (8 % of all votes cast for Gov Brown). The reason behind the initiative is to ensure same-sex marriage is legal in California no matter how the CA Supreme Court rules. I say YES! Sign today!

~ THIS is interesting: It happened in England and now in Hawaii. A gay couple (Lesbians) are suing a Hawaiian Bed and Breakfast for turning them away because they are gay. You CAN’T do that! Sue the crap out of them!
