It's a Giant, Non-Movie Rabbit, Gromit
If it also had a hankering for cheese, the giant rabbit invading some English gardens would be almost too real for words, but as it is, the storyline from Wallace and Gromit's lastest movie, Curse of the Were-Rabbit, is too real for some of the English gardeners whose veggies are being nibbled by what they say is an oversized rabbit in Felton, UK. That's the gist of one of the weekend's most-cited news stories (No. 7) in the blogosphere. Demon rabbit or Easter Bunny? wonder a few LiveJournalers. An international plot or a job for MacGyver wonders a fellow LiveJournaler? Where's Anti-Pesto when you need them? asks another LiveJournaler, referring to the name of the pest control firm the two Claymation figures operated in the summertime blockbuster movie. Maybe the folks in Fenton can borrow the bunny vacuum from the movie studio?

Polluting the Mac Identity...or Shrewd Mac Move?
It sounds as serious and hard-working as it might be: Apple Boot Camp, which this week has been one of the most-discussed issues in the blogosphere. When Apple announced mid-week that it opening its new Intel-powered computers to run Windows applications through a download called Boot Camp, the industry shifted, paradigmically speaking (is that a word?). The first blog buzz, captured by BlogPulse citations to the Boot Camp news, is definitely hefty and international in flavor. Is this the beginning of Bill & Steve's Excellent Adventure? Will diehard PC users consider switching? The Unofficial Apple Weblog examines another motivation for the long-discussed marriage of the two platforms: the education market.
