Macworld Video: Celebrity cameo tip edition
We switch to an aquatic setting for this Macworld Video, yet the subject remains unchanged from recent weeks: Leopard, Leopard, Leopard. I shot this video on board the MS Volendam during the just-concluded macmania cruise around the Caribbean Sea and into the Panama Canal. We may be focusing on the latest version of Mac OS X yet again, but to freshen things up, I've invited a couple guest stars to join us in this video: New York Times technology columnist David Pogue and Apple's Sal Soghoian. Both David and Sal were speakers on the macmania 7 cruise, and I thank them for taking the time to share some of their favorite hidden Leopard features.

4 people forced to live in a 2 people suite on Volendam
Holland America flooded room cause unacceptable odor. They attempted to dry the room with dehumidifiers which were very noisy therefore we had to move to another room with my family ie 4 people in a room that is supposed to be for only 2 people. As you can see there is LITERALLY NO walking room whatsoever. And a cruise is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable. Holland America is certainly not either of those.
