MacFever Dose 19 Show Notes:
I’m not going to be green screening until my new green screen arrives which I have ordered from TubeTabe
So I have decided to film in Angelique’s garden as she has a power in her shed :-/
Apple have finally updated the iMac range, last monday.
Apple TV take 2 - you can rent movies straight from your TV, without having to use a computer.
Now Apple have taken it to the next level by allowing users to purchase movies from the iTunes store, on the day of DVD release.
A further story claims that Apple are loosing money on this as it is supposedly costing Apple $16 per movie.
A new iPod Classic Firmware 1.1.2 update has been released which fixes… wait for it… BUGS.. People have claimed it improves cover flow and audio quality.
I have launched my brand new feed Jack Moore Productions.

Hey there kids! Sorry that I haven't been podcasting all that much recently. In order to make up for it, here is a chat I had with Tee Morris (of Podcasting for Dummies and Morevi.net) on the topic of Mevio, The State of Podcasting, and a whole lot more.
Sorry again, but I have been realllly busy in the past while. I hope to get VFTQ up and running again VERY soon. Like, next week.
Cian.

Whether they are seen as acts of God, or as simple climate-related occurrences, natural events have always had a sizeable impact on military operations. At the small end of the scale are the little changes in terrain or weather that may affect a battle or a small war. For example, many armies have postponed their campaigns due to inclement weather conditions, and many militaries have suffered from rampant disease. On the other end of the scale are the times when nature has so much of an impact that the fate of an entire nation or civilization is decided upon it. In the words of Charles Darwin, these are times when “the war of nature” results in the downfall of one party and the rise of another.
- Thales' Eclipse: Halted the epic Battle of Halys River, thereby saving one or both of the participants (Lydia and Media) from destruction.
- Kamikaze (Divine Wind): Created a storm that destroying the invading Mongol fleets, thereby saving Japan from foreign conquest.
- Athenian Typhoid: Wreaked havoc throughout Athens, contributing to its downfall in the Peloponnesian War.
- Bering Land Bridge: Facilitated the "invasion" of North America.
- Clouds over Kokura: Obscured the primary target for the "Fat Man" atomic bomb, thereby saving Kokura but resulting in the destruction of Nagasaki.
- Legend of Quetzacoatl: Convinced the Aztecs that Cortez was the reincarnation of Quetzacoatl, thereby facilitating the Spanish conquest of Latin America.
