Lame. You could at least run a story that Apple fixed it's security problem in OS X last week. You like to report problems but it appears you don't like to report the problem has been fixed. There are all kind of stories out there that deserve Slashdot coverage. I find this practice sophomoric.
I play Combat Mission for hours. It has the best realism I have ever seen. The developers have taken great care in developing a real as possible. You can find the demo for Mac and Windows here.
I'm only praying for them to post it to Mac OS X now.

Hotmail Hacked

That's how I knew my last relationship was over: when she changed her password to her e-mail account.
The problem for us Mac users isn't the fear of infection, but the increased use of bandwith that slowed our access to the Internet at work.
I had the experience of trying to do Westlaw.com training on a slow connection today. We finally gave up.
I'm glad AT&T took the action it did. It really increased speed this afternoon. I wish my cable modem company would do the same thing. I'm see 4 attacks per minute on my machine at home. Each attempt is deflected by my firewall, but it continues to piss me off, and slow my connection. All broadband providers should take the same action for residental users.
At least we are getting updates. I would hate if Apple held them all until some big event, like MacWorld.
It's a very young operating system

OS X

It is young, and yes it is unfinished. As a core OS it still has a lot of debugging code in it, but I don't think OS X will every suffer from a lack of developers, like BeOS has in the past.
As the OS grows up, you will find more finished features. One reason Apple released the Public Beta, and now OS X 10.0 is so developers and early adopter could begin working toward a more finished product.
The best is yet to come.
I own an iMacDVD and I never watch DVD's on it anyway. I've been using OSX since it's release and it rocks. The biggest problem new users will have is getting use to the new interface.
I look foward to OSX 1.0.
It the past Apple legal has threatened to sue a 14-year-old kind for a Aqua-like gui hack, and a guy who patched Aqua itself to look a little different.
So much for anyone taking the time to add their own lines of code to the mix. And they wonder why more developers are not working on apps for OSX.
It sounds like M$ has another way to stick it to the end user. The control the application. You never get your hands on it. In some ways that might be good. You know you won't have to worry about breaking it, and if you do break it, they have to fix it.
It will also mean no using applications without paying for them. I wonder also if they control your documents. Will you be able to save them locally?
I can see why they want to control the whole ball of wax. It might be good for them, but I think people will fight adoption of it tooth and nail.
I can only speak from my own experience with Covey. Covey is the author of The Seven Habits of Hightly Effecive People. We have this stuff drilled into us from day one.
The most Important: Be Proactive. While I think it's a good idea to fix things before they break, it is not always possible to when computers tend to crash. It is nearly impossible to foresee every possible problem.
It's not a good idea to take a management theory for stockbrokers and try to apply it to IT. It's two completely different things.
Slashdot Mirror
For someone from IBM to make these charges, is down right funny.
Yes. And the Newton OS kicks the Palm OS arse any day of the week.
It looks like people still don't get want the free software movement is all about: free as in free speach, not free as in free beer.
Can you say lawsuit? I bet the boy and girls at Apple legal are drafting the nasty letters now.

Yes.
Is there a summary somewhere? I'd really like to get to the heart of what they said without reading all the seperate messages.

Do they still make PowerPC chips. It would be great in a Mac.
WOOOOOHOOOOOOO. This is exciting news.
