Apple Releases Mac OS X 10.1.3
nbvb
submitted what I'm pleased to say is our first
apple.slashdot.org
story. We'll be posting more news for our sizable
Apple population there in the future. Anyway, He says
"Apple today released Mac OS X 10.1.3. Be sure to click your "Software Update" and "Install" buttons! (Hey, if we can get an announcement every time a new point rev of a development kernel hits the FTP sites, can't we hear about Mac OS X?)" As usual, user reports of the new release have been both positive and negative.
where's the "first post EVER" and "AppleSeed Cluster" posts? :P
Warning, Slashdot Conspiracy Theory:
I think someone just wanted to use the new apple icons...
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
I hit the update button in the tools menu, and it didn't mention anything about 10.1.3.
:-(
All it gave me was some "Welcome to Windows Update" page.
alias uptime="echo '5:33pm up 22342352324 days, 6:28, 2124315623 users, load average: 2432.40, 12312.31, 123123.19'"
Out of the loop? Hardly. You were one of the first 10 people to post in the brand new section about Apple on Slashdot. Apparently, you are in the middle of the loop.
If tits were wings it'd be flying around.
I look forward to the day when we get a story every time M$ release a 'critical update'.
I look forward to the day when we don't get a story every time Linux increments by 0.0.1.
A Mac-branded portion of Slashdot, complete with oogly googly prettiness in the form of gradients and rounding.
.slashdot.orgs would have to be:
The message being broadcast to me on a quick hop around the
Apple = Pretty, ooh, ooh
Linux = Ugly, stinky, green
BSD = Red
Hm.
Anyway, this is far too hi-fi for me. Back to ugly, stinky, green.
-l
p.s. Why is Science ugly, stinky, green, too? Science and Linux don't look even nearly similar, I dual boot them!

I guess this counts as a First Story, not a First Post? :-)

(Whee, my first accepted submission, too!)
Why does everyone assume it's a loop?
If you don't like apple.slashdot.org then go there.
Why would I go there if I didn't like it?
I think it is a cool idea since now, because of Apple, BSD has a 3 to 1 lead over Linux on the Desktop. Take that Tux!
Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.
It is the beginning of a trend. Look for these fine subdomains, coming to a slashdot near you:
r unslinux.slashdot.orgl ashdot.org
mssux.slashdot.org
katzrevues.slashdot.org
it
stuffthatactuallymatters.s
antimpaa.slashdot.org
and
cowboyneal.slashdot.org
It's because they're tired of Apple user's tireless honest answers to stupid flames:
CmdrTaco: Oh yeah, the new xMac is out. It can burn DVDs and run BSD software while preparing you a tasteful, healthy meal for you every day and never needs to be taken for a walk, and it actually looks halfway decent, but I won't ever use it because it ships with a one-button mouse.
Mac-using hordes: BUY A GODDAMN $10 3-BUTTON MOUSE ALREADY!
Taco: All right, I'm sectioning off a Mac ghetto and sending you there so I don't have to listen anymore.
BTW, I couldn't post to this article without going through apple.slashdot.org. That's annoying. And a shiny ugly green theme is still an ugly green theme.
I have a positive modifier on Troll. When I mod someone Troll their karma should go UP!
Would mssux.slashdot.org just map back to the normal Slashdot front page? Because, let's face it, it might as well.

OK, so when is slashdot gonna get sued for using a transparent logo ala OSX, not to mention you used the word apple. OMG!

Anybody else the redundancy in Mac OS X 10.1.3? "Mac OS Ten Ten point one point three."
It's kinda up there with "ATM Machine"
Help us build a better map!
Let me just tell you, cordless optical mice are the greatest, although it took some time for my ears to stop ringing after I got mine...
Quoth my wife, "YOU SPENT HOW MUCH ON A MOUSE?"
every time i get my mod points up i have to go and say something that gets modded down like a red-headed stepchild.
like, today, i got a 4 for a post i made on this very thread and felt the warm satisfaction inside that comes from being a productive contributor to the Chronicle of our Times, Slashdot.
And later on, I'll make a post that will get me modded down, something like:
biZoTchEZ b up in MaH SHEEE-it 'bOuT sUm LiNuX juNK, man DeM fOOlZ dOnT kNoW Shiz-NiT n MaX bEEt yo' WinDoZe bOx FooLz!
... damn, i did it again, didn't I?
