The fallout from Apple's Boot Camp continues, and we in the labs are struggling to keep up.

Nerds should start arranging transpo down to Menlo Park tonight for the latest Dorkbot at Onomy labs. Topics include artist Jill Miller's hunt for Bigfoot in the northern Sierra, PARC alums Scott Minneman and Dale MacDonald discussing collaborative innovation and somebody will be bringing an x86 laptop with OS X hacked onto it.

Apple switches to Intel; surprisingly, nothing goes to hell in an iPod sock.

Well, it looks like Yahoo 360 actually was launched today, albeit just before midnight. Thanks to Jason at Over Queersville for sending us the invite. After a little haggling with the forgotten details of our long-lost Yahoo account (we had to go back a few years in zip codes to get our forgotten password forwarded to us), we are now signed up. By the way, yes, we've already found a bug. Friend of SFist Jess doesn't really look exactly like Jason. Yahoo peeps, click-through for the screenshot.

Hey, what's the point of having proprietary technology if you can't bilk people for the accessories?

In the battle of post-Macworld-keynote overloaded servers yesterday, Apple won.

Hopefully you've had a chance to read our interviews with Jennifer DePalma and Renee Saucedo, started doing your homework along with SFist Jon on all the propositions on the state and local ballots, cleared up any misconceptions with the Essefficist and clicked through to Gothamist's interview with Oscar-winning filmmaker Errol Morris. Check over there on the right hand side for links to our latest election coverage. We're not going to make any endorsements, since SFist is not unanimous in our opinions, but let's just say if you don't like your Windows machine crashing all the time, with massive loss of files, programs running mysteriously in the background and easily exploited security vulnerabilities, have you thought about switching to Mac OS X?
