This was Africa’s first FIFA World Cup and it will live in the memory as much for the spirit and smiles of the host nation as for the success of a Spain team who achieved their own first when Andres Iniesta’s 116th-minute winner against the Netherlands put them into the record books as the eighth country to capture football’s most prized crown.

Apple Cinema Display with the LED backlight technology that Apple has started building into their 15″ MacBook Pros: very probable.
