Marty and Jess from Big Brother are getting hitched. My prediction: Channel 10 will televise the whole event, which will feature Shannon Noll and Killing Heidi performing at the reception (during the AFL Grand Final, naturally).

Steve Jobs has unveiled a preview of the next version of Mac OS X, codenamed “Tiger”. It looks pretty sweet. And ha ha! Looks like the folks at the Worldwide Developers Conference had a little fun at Microsoft’s expense…
