A lot of companies are naming January "Mac Month" mostly because of MacWorld San Francisco, but this week there was a lot more in the news of interest to Web designers than just MacWorld.
- There were a lot of Mac rumors going around. Some were virtually confirmed - like iLife 07 is available for pre-purchase from Amazon. And others are still just hopes - like the Apple phone - is it real or not? And what about Leopard and iTV?
- There were so many complaints about the Google tips, that even though some don't find them all that offensive, Google decided to remove the feature. So if you don't like something, scream about it in your blog. It might work!
- There was a rumor that Wikipedia banned the country of Qatar, but that rumor was unfounded. Okay, maybe they were just banned "a little" (only for "less than 12 hours").
- Redesigns are coming into fashion again, or at least Disney is planning to unveil a big makeover of Disney.com.
- Maybe soon we'll be able to build really big pages. With the invention of a new organic material that could be used to send data via the Internet 37,500 times faster than is currently possible with an ADSL line, we'll finally be able to stream a 2 hour video from our blogs.

- Apparently, IE 6 was vulnerable to known security holes for 284 days last year or 75% of the time. Firefox was only vulnerable for 9 days last year. Now do you understand why I browse with Firefox?
- A serious flaw was found in the Adobe Acrobat Reader plugin which allows malicious JavaScript code to be injected on the client side.
