I love Frontline. They produce some of the best journalism and each episode is always on a strikingly relevant topic.

Their February 2nd episode digital_nation is no different, which poses the question, “Is our 24/7 wired world causing us to lose as much as we’ve gained?”

In Digital Nation: Life on the Virtual Frontier, Frontline presents an in-depth exploration of what it means to be human in a 21st-century digital world… [and] embarks on a journey to understand the implications of living in a world consumed by technology and the impact that this constant connectivity may have on future generations.

You can watch the full 90-minute episode online now for free at PBS or Hulu.

PC Magazine gave Apple’s 10.5.2 Leopard operating system an Editor’s Choice award and a stunning review. I have to say, I’ve been using a Mac since I was a kid and things just keep getting better and better. Hands down, I think that Leopard is the best so far and my roommate agrees—he became a convert over the weekend and bought a new MacBook. All I’ve been hearing is “oh my God” and “wow, that is so cool” coming from him since he turned it on. And the new screen sharing with iChat….let me just say that I no longer have to run to the other end of the apartment to show him how to do something. Never realized how useful that could be. As PC Mag writes:

Despite minor problems, it’s by far the best operating system ever written for the vast majority of consumers, with dozens of new features that have real practical value—like truly automated backups, document and spreadsheet preview images in folders, and notes and to-do lists integrated into the mail program.
