Ebert admits games can be art, but not ‘high art’ – and what is ‘high art’ anyway? Can films be ‘high art’? There’s not much that I’d really classify as art yet (Okami would be, for example), but there’s so much potential there.

9 Ways to Build Your Own Social Network – Ning totally wins against the competition here.

Daring Fireball : iSuppli – guess what; people write articles based on utter rubbish because people will read anything that has the word ‘iPhone’ in.

Mozilla Thunderbird to Find New Home as Mozilla Foundation Focuses on Mozilla Firefox – I can’t decide if this is good or bad; Thunderbird is the only decent cross platform email client (although the Mac version, like Firefox, isn’t that great) – hopefully this move will help, not hinder, it.

World’s First Look at the BBC iPlayer – what an utter waste of time. It sounds like such a huge missed opportunity.

Common Sense from Coca Cola or Even More Proof Of How Designers Are (Still) Wankers – nice work from Coke, and true words from Ben.

Purported photos of new iMac keyboard stir debate – I love the way this looks, and the Macbook keyboard is my current favourite. Where can I buy it?

Webbli World – this just looks lovely.

Apple delivers new Leopard seed (images) – hmm, not sure about the dock divider but I’m loving the rounded corners on the menus.
