Apple Terminates Safari Seed Program
coolmacdude writes "This morning Safari beta v67 was leaked to the Internet. Because this is the third time it has happened (v62 and v64 were leaked), Apple has apparantly had enough and decided to terminate the seed program that provided unreleased beta verisons to selected developers. In a email sent to all developers and posted on Mike Wendland's blog, Apple says:
'Due to Safari 67 postings to the internet, we have closed the Safari Seed project. We know that the majority of you are not responsible for the leaks to the internet, and we sincerely appreciate your feedback, time and effort with this project.'"
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Director George Lucas, of "Star Wars" fame, was found dead in the Skywalker Ranch this evening. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Why don't apple just fucking watermark each copy they give out. Stupid fuckers.
Women are conniving sluts. A woman is either a whore or in denial. My next woman better take cock in every single one of her holes and suck the cum out of her ass and cunt - and no bitching about how my cock is "too big" or "won't fit." I'll make it fit you fucking slut! Then and only then will I give my "girlfriend" all the perks and benefits that women EXPECT to have just GIVEN to them, and all the while a man's needs remain unfulfilled and deemed second to a woman's. So if you want that diamond ring, nice house, and nice car, you better get on your fucking knees and open wide honey!
I suppose that's why Mozilla is so fast and stable. Dickwad.
It's still redundant, and a really fucking stupid joke to boot.
To quote a slashdot regular: YOU FAIL IT.
My sentiments exactly. A loser is you.
I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.
with much gayness,
Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.
Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.
I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).
Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!
Sincerely,
Harry Rodman

reading that was incredibly painful. how can you people mod this shit up?
who cares
It's been 15 seconds since you hit 'reply'!
We Apple users should get together for an annual Gay Safari--a real safari to Africa. We could go touring Africa with our Apple computers. We could "blog" about our homosexual encounters with African Gay Negroes. We could make iMovies about gay lions and and gay zebras--a real eco-gay adventure for Apple guys. What say? Let's do it.
Werd to your mudda
you'd think they were fucking Microsoft
actually, it was microsoft fucking apple. and oh yeah, to save their ass (office, ie), it was apple sucking microsoft, or was it only jobs. oh, shit, you meant it as in the adjective not the verb. what'd ya expect, i was an econ major, not english.
My problem? I was perfectly gruntled, until some numbnuts came by and dissed me.
Your response was so witty and incisive. I can almost smell the Crayola.
Did you think my post was about Microsoft? I write five paragraphs and the only thing you see is the single sentence with the word "Microsoft" in it.
I am the hacker who says Microsoft! Go forth now and bring me a shrubbery before I am forced to say it again!
As for what Linux's place is on the desktop is, I can't really say. I can say that it doesn't really matter where it is currently however because it is growing very quickly on the desktop and its growth potential is an order of magnitude greater than anything Apple could dare to hope for. I work for the college of engineering at the 4th largest university in the country and this fall all of the computers in our labs (400+) will be configured to dual boot Linux and Windows. Guess whose job it is to come up with the configuration we'll be using?
Muslim community leaders warn of backlash from tomorrow morning's terrorist attack.
Your 100% correct. They're well within in their rights and even moral obligations. However this is a perfect example of why I run debian (when I'm not running winxp for work). I dislike access to innovation being withheld (even if it will eventually be available).
Now, I just need to reconcile that as someone who makes a living from software development.
Well, I hate to say it - but it's to be expected on the Mac platform. They simply don't have enough new software titles out to keep people busy otherwise.
If the amount of new shareware and commercial software released in the PC world was released for the Mac, you'd see far fewer people who'd even bother to download and install some un-released beta of a public beta web browser.
Joe sixpack also uses a PC running Windows.
Your butthole will lose its tightness after you have been converted to a flaming mac homo. Seriously, once you are gay, you can never be a normal man again. Even if ou have one brief encounter and later get married to a nice woman and have 4 kids, you are still a fag.
So I guess its safe to say Apple takes whatever it can from OSS, uses it for its marketing BS, and then does the minimum in return. Under the GPL Apple is required to post those changes, so don't act like Apple is doing a favor.
