Understanding OS X Kernel Internals
jglidell writes "The OS X kernel has been in the news alot this past year, whether it's why its slow, Mach/micro-kernel makes it bad, it's going closed source and what not. Amit Singh has put up a new presentation on the innards of OS X. It does a pretty good job of summing up the OS X kernel architecture, and has some pretty detailed diagrams... for instance they show that there are so many process/threads layers in OS X. So if you are in the mood for doing some OS studying then head over."
All the stupid code poems are why it's slow! Apple needs to spend less time acting like Edgar allen Poe, and more time fixing their crappy kernel.
Your karma check for today:
There once was a user that whined
his existing OS was so blind,
he'd do better to pirate
an OS that ran great
but found his hardware declined.
Please don't steal Mac OS!
Really, that's way uncool.

The hissing/squeeling noise on Intel Duos... nice not even windows has that. Their solution: run it with sufficient load that one of the cores doesnt shut off.
Looks to me like the hardware declined Apple.
And wasting their time on lame fat/suit vs hip/cool commercials is another reason why.
Hemos, do your fucking job!
could care less about kernel space issues, especially the average Mac user. I know I don't. I work in IT security, and all I care about is that I can lock down the machine. The more common users of Macs just care that their USB devices work and that they can connect to the Internet. Nothing else matters to people unless they are developers or CS students. Slashdot is posting some real boring stories, and this is one of them. I'd rather see a story on OS X security from a user perspective or even OS X widgets than this.
No kidding, "is our children learning yet?"
