A little while back we posted about the unboxing of an Apple job offer, and now here’s another unboxing having to do with becoming an Apple employee — Mac Rumors has shots up of an unboxing of one of the t-shirt giftboxes recently given to AppleCare call center staff, and once again, even in something that the public was never really supposed to see, this company shows just how much care and attention they put into their design. From the way the t-shirt’s folded, with the stark three word design sitting perfectly centered, to the embossed gift note and company stickers, clearly this is a company that believes presentation is important.
In fact, it almost makes me want to go over to Apple’s Jobs site and start looking for myself. Apple, any interest in hiring a witty, sarcastic and cynical blogger? I’ll work for peanuts!

In my continuing campaign to get as many Apple fans out there as possible to take part in National Novel Writing Month, I’m always looking for deals on writing software. Earlier in the week, I reported on a deal that Scrivener is providing for NaNoWriMo participants. Well, not to be left out of the fun, Storyist Software also has some deals set up for would-be novelists.
If you’re in the Bay Area, you might want to take part in NaNoWriMo’s Night of Writing Dangerously on Sunday, November 22, 2009 from 5 to 11 PM in the Julia Morgan Ballroom at the Merchant’s Exchange Building in San Francisco. Every writer who participates in this fundraising event gets a free copy of Storyist 2 from Storyist Software, and two top fundraisers for the event will each receive an Amazon Kindle and a $50 gift card from Storyist.
Storyist always provides a 30-day free trial version of their namesake software, but this time they’ll give you a temporary license that lasts through the first week of December if you contact the company from their NaNoWriMo page. In addition, if you decide to purchase the software at any point during NaNoWriMo, just use the coupon code NANOWRIMO at checkout and you’ll receive 25% off of the download-only version (US$59.00) or the boxed edition (US$79.00).
Now you have your choice of two great writing tools to use during NaNoWriMo, so you have no excuse not to sign up for the creative writing event of the year and churn out that novel you’ve always been meaning to write. Get signed up today!

The European Union in a decision this week formally approved the use of 3G and eventually 4G data on the 900MHz and 1,800MHz GSM bands. The measure substantially improves the amount of bandwidth available for cellular Internet access in EU states and should render it less expensive as well. Besides reducing the need for more cell sites, allowing frequencies lower than 2,100MHz for 3G will also extend the range and coverage of existing service….

Google has released an official developer preview of Google Chrome for the Mac. Rather than digging through nightly development builds, you can download the developer preview of the WebKit-based browser at Google’s official webpage.
Chrome sports several features similar to Safari 4 in Snow Leopard, such as sandboxing – each tab runs as its own process, so if one crashes, it doesn’t bring down the whole browser. It also sports the “tabs on top” interface present in some builds of the Safari 4 beta released earlier this year. Some people hated tabs on top in Safari, but others eventually got used to it and even missed the feature when it was omitted from the final release of Safari 4; if tabs on top is your thing, then Chrome has you covered.
Chrome supports importing bookmarks, settings, and history from whatever browser you’re currently using, so if you’re curious to see how it runs on a Mac, go ahead and give it a try. Let us know in the comments if you run into any issues.
