Next iChat version to include Jabber support

SeaFox writes "A couple of stories about new features in the next version of Mac OS X have revealed that the new iChat 3.0 will include support for Jabber. With businesses able to host their own messaging servers behind the firewall and use it with Apple's included IM client, will this effect Jabber's overall share of the IM market?"

The bishop, while living, was a follower of God.
Now dead, his rotting fingers are able to raise
an army of skeletons from the grave.

Really? I didn't realize there were such dipshits like you until you were born.

It's English. If you're going to write in it, at least do it well. Of course you knew what he said. Y0|_| c4|\| understand crap like 1337 sp33|<, too, but one is of considerably higher quality than the other. Don't lower your standards out of laziness or any other reason.

Not an attack. But I believe that if you take the time to make sure you are using the language correctly, it indicates that you are more careful in your other thoughts, and are probably (although certainly not definitely) a smarter person.

Re:What we really need

[Anonymous Coward]

gaim does what you want:
- it's cross-plattform (Windows, OSX, Linux)
- it supports server hosted friends list
- it starts up quickly
- it supports a lot of different protocols
- it's free as in speech

don't forget:
- it's probably one the ugliest peices of software ever released

I think it's time the Americans were taught how to speak English (or even American).

It would be nice if they learned how to write it, too. : p

Ouch. I stand corrected.

But my point about rumor sites is still valid, you know. :)

So you admit you are a stupid cock. Figures. In this case, the post DIDN'T deserve it. It had nothing to do with slamming your ultra-leftwing bullshit.

Idiot.
