Now I am online when I want to be (and have my Macbook with me :)).
Bought Vodafone MobileConnect a week back. To tell the truth, speed sucks, but I don't (read CAN'T) mind. Only reason I bought MobileConnect from Vodafone is they promise it will work with Mac OS X. And it does.
On Mac updates, I have come across plenty of keyboard and trackpad shortcuts which make life easier. I was planning to use it for some development but so far its songs and movies only :).
Mac comes with XCode installable DVDs, which is a fully loaded development tool from Apple. Just installed it and compiled/ran Hello World!. So good to go.

Finally, I have a MacBook
Bought a new MacBook 13" yesterday. Here's the screenshot.
Mac is not as simple as I thought it was. Any habits are hard to break once you live with them for a while. The key sequences and some standard shortcuts are not always same as Linux or Windows. Anyways, it should be enough to spend some spare time.
I have tried only a subset of applications so far, like iTunes, Safari and iChat. And they worked great for me. Will keep posting as and when I get time.
And thanks to Venkat, I got a healthy discount!

Revising previous posts
I am going to review/revise all my previous posts. Reading them from a third-person's account, I think I have been writing gibberish.
Lets see, how good it will be this time.

Travel Itinreary (Mumbai - Hong Kong - San Francisco)
On Friday morning (18th July), I got confirmation regarding my travel to San Francisco on Saturday morning (19th July).
My flight was scheduled at 6:05 AM from Mumbai, so had to be at CSIA by 3 in the morning. Sabale, Swapnil, Vinod and Govind decided (or may be I decided for them) to accompany me to Airport. We started from our room at 11:00 PM for Mumbai and reached Vashi to Snehal's apartment by 1:45 AM. There we convinced him why he should be in Pune this weekend, and picked him up with baggage for Airport. We reached CSIA well before 2:30 AM.
With last of good byes and well wishes and take-care tips, I entered CSIA Gate C at 3:10 AM. From now on I was on my own, as always, that thought got me scared for some time. I got my boarding pass and checked-in cargo at Cathay Pacific counter. The security check didn't take long and I was on my way to Gate 10 before 4:00 AM. A gap of almost two hours before boarding the flight, half of which I slept through and rest moving around Gate 10 lobby.
The flight, CX-684, from Mumbai to Hong Kong took little over 5 hours. The flight's window view was amazing during landing (it beats that of SFO). The Hong Kong Int'l Airport is one of the best Airports (incidentally, World's Best Airport 2008). After another security check, I spent time till connecting flight to SFO, gazing at huge buildings over Gate 3.
Connecting flight, CX-872, from Hong Kong to San Francisco took around 12 hours to land. The worst part of this travel was that most of it was during day. It's like asking to sleep in afternoon, when I can barely sleep at night.
In all, flight smooth and short (comparatively), and I enjoyed it as much the Air Travel can be enjoyed.
