This week had some interesting things in it. In Sweden, they think they can stop piracy by sending The Pirate Bay to court, Apple faced its first Mac sales slow down in like forever but they're still high on customer satisfaction, and we wondered if a cat an agree to an EULA. This week's my take is from Jordan "weildish" Spencer Cunningham, and is about winter.

In our mid winter (Brisbane Australia) we have daytime temperatures of about 20C and a night time minimum of about 10C. Very nice. However we have about three continuous months of very humid 30C+ days in Summer.
I'm quite jealous. We have about -20C in the winter, +25 to +30 in the summer..

What's the winter thing all about?
Considering the internet is global and it's not winter throughout the world, how is this relevant to an operating system news site?
For the record, I drove to the shop with the roof down and a t-shirt on this morning.

I'm curious what city he's talking about in 'My Take' - anyone know?
For the record I love the winter as well... living in Tucson, AZ we get more desert than anything, unless we go up Mt. Lemon, where it can be 100F in Tucson but a nice 65 up the Mt.
Here's my addition to the "beautiful snow covered mountain" pics:

I can't say for sure, but I live in Salt Lake City, Utah and he does mention that the are the Wasatch Mountains. The trees, rooftops, and mountains look a lot like what you would see here. I am almost certain that I recognize that mountain range. Although it's entirely possible that it's in Colorado as well. Hopefully he clues us in.

I had included the name of my city originally as I was writing my disparagements against winter, but then decided to leave that out because I didn't think anyone would particularly care. Now I see I was wrong.
Anyway, David's right-- this is the Salt Lake City region (specifically West Jordan, though that means little to most people).
For the record, the weather is getting much nicer this week. I'm definitely looking forward to Spring.

Well, I wasn't even sure what continent you were on, it's always nice to have some background
. Me too. I'm fed up with this cold, rainy wheather over here (= Netherlands).
