OpenGL Spec Now Controlled by Khronos Group
99BottlesOfBeerInMyF writes "According to a recent press release, the OpenGL Architecture Review Board has voted to transfer control of the OpenGL API standard to the Khronos Group, an industry working group that seems mostly known for its focus on mobile applications. Apple Computer has also just joined the group, presumably because of their interest in OpenGL for the OS X platform. I wonder what affect, if any, this will have upon the future development of the OpenGL standard."
Ya, it sucks that Apple never gave anything back. Oh wait, yes they did.

Darwin's still active. The outside project, OpenDarwin, called it quits for a variety of reasons. The only thing in question is the ability to build an X86 kernel, which was rumored to have been killed off, but isn't necessarily the case -- they're just trying to figure out where that middle ground is to avoid pirating of the Intel version of OS X.
That whole thing is really dumb, IMHO.
But with regard to the KonquerorWebKit issue, that was a big deal long ago, but with the cross patches and open subversion repository, a lot of that rift has been taken care of. Apple could always be more open, but they aren't doing a terrible job.

Psst, "you"!
On the serious tip, though, one of the things that was hammered out by council during the holy roman empire of Constantine II was the nature of God. It was decided at the council of Nicea that God was a holy trinity, he was at once the father, the son, and the holy ghost. They also decided (I think at a separate, slightly later council) that Jesus is both fully human and fully divine. That's right, he's 100% this, and 100% that, which means he's 200% Jesus. Anyway, I digress... the point is that since he is both three and one, he can have a threesome with himself if he can find a way to fuck a spirit.
Oh and "fucking" is very commonly used as an adjective, and although "fucked" might be more appropriate it is definitely a permanent part of the English language at this point. If you go far enough back in time to where the authorities on language would agree with you, they'd probably also want to stone you to death for egregious use of the word while you tried to discuss it with them.

Hey, I wasn't bragging to you -- I made every effort to make it inconspicuous, so that only the AC I was replying to (who apparently did care) would read it.

Apple worked with KHTML developers to merge in some changes from Webkit back into KHTML and they released Webkit as open source which Nokia picked up and implemented into their products.
Jesus was a compassionate social conservative who called individuals to sin no more.
