aussie resellers get super secret boxes from apple

oh, whatever could be in this box that apple resellers in australia began receiving this morning? all signs indicate that it does not contain a vegemite sandwich.
it looks like apple is nipping potential global shipping delays in the bud by sending the goods internationally a t early. the seal on top is pretty clear: open this before june 10th (june 9th in the us, otherwise known as “omg steve jobs keynote day!!!!”) and our lawyers will eat your face.
the box is a t on the small side - it certainly doesn’t seem like a launch day sized 3g iphone inventory could fit in there. speculators are guessing that it’s a demo unit, with the first stock shipts expected to the week after wwdc.

visualizing the ble using apis
for many it's dream that computer programs would lets us see into the essential meaning of the words of a text like the ble. although we don't have such programs yet, it's fun to look at efforts moving in that direction.
for many it’s dream that computer programs would lets us see into the essential meaning of the words of a text like the ble. although we don’t have such programs yet, it’s fun to look at efforts moving in that direction. as reported on the openble.info blog , the ble sentence paths is a pictorial depiction of the ble that’s built using the esv ble api:
this visualization reduces each word from the esv ble to a single pixel. each line is one sentence. the line turns 90 degrees to the right after every sentence. colors indicate metadata.
these visualizations are based on stefanie posavec’s visualization of jack kerouc’s on the road. let’s take a look at two example. the first is the book of job, a series of human speeches (drawn in blue) is interrupted by a speech by god (shown in red):
contrast this with the gospel of matthew, in which the words of jesus are deeply interspersed through the book:
as pointed out on the openble.info blog, there are features that improve this visualization, including the ality to see the exact words ociated with a given pixel. for further insight into this visualization and the data behind, see the esv ble blog.
on programmableweb there are now 13 religion-related mashups and 3 religion-related apis.
