Having all the nice new iTunes,iPod etc.. is great.But apple should concentrate its efforts in fixing their internet connection software. [Internet connection is the dial-up program in MAc OS X.]. Consumers will get frustrated very soon with Max OS X if they cannot connect reliably to the internet.
Mac OS 10.1 has been very flaky in been able to maintain a connection to the internet over a 56K modem. Apple has released various patches but the problems seem to keep reappearing.
I personally would buy a Apple product but to recommend OS X to a non-computer savvy usr is difficult with all the problems with the dial-up 56K modem.
microft DLL unloading

This was on NT.
While exiting the program, Microsft was unloading the socket DLL before DLL's we had created. This caused our program to always crash on exit.
It was obvious due to some internal DLL dependencies, NT was choosing a random order to unload DLLs.
We spent months trying to fight with Microsoft, but could not get a solution. In the end we decided not to support NT as a platform;-).
Traditional large companies had large research funds and researchers had a lot of leeway in the work they performed.
As companies donw-size and cut costs, research funding decreases and researchers have to do more research aligned with the company. This increases the pressure on researchers to generate results faster.
The research community would have to have safe-guards to safeguard against suprious results.
It would be very simple to burn CDs and Fedex them out. A lot of companies have Fedex boxes on-site.
Companies will have a tough time protecting themselves from disgruntled employees, especially now in 'paper-less' enviroments where information is more so in digital formats.
I have OS X on my titanium. I agree with the reviewer that is awesome. You have the beautiful Mac interface plus the terminal window to have fun on a normal UNIX. Best of both worlds. I can use it and my gf can use it too.
The only glitch so far is there is no Java plugin for OS X. So playing those Java games is difficult. Apple/sun needs to solve this issue soon to allow the masses to use a Mac without any problem.
Maybe the product version of Opera might solve this.
I am not sure if C is the problem.
Locking in a database is not implemented by 'locking pointers'. The 'pointer' address can be
used to generate a lock object.
