There are bits that look like Chimera, including the default no-favicon icon, and I can't recall how I found it, but the plugin page looks a lot like mozilla's
All apps should have a bug button in the main toolbar;) I use it to log bugs, and feature requests I just use 'www.apple.com'..
I like the bookmarks interface and activity window a lot
when network ops are in progress, the progress bar should throb. when network ops are in progress but no data is flowing the progress bar should not throb. Right now the progress bar only thermometers, with no indication that data tx/rx is occurring.
integrate mail attachment functionality, ala latest chimeras, but it should also be attaching whole pages as an option, not just links.
with that in mind, safari needs to be able to send pages/links via AIM/Rendezvous/iChat as well. Preferably choosing to insert links into existing IM sessions or opening new ones depending on circumstance
new HW is neat, but I guess it'll be at least a year before we get video iPod.. No worries, I don't have $800 for what a decent video iPod would cost. I don't have much to say about it as I don't have the $$$ to indulge:/
I want an 802.11g + bluetooth upgrade for my existing Ti. Even without the l337 new antennae (are they differential?) I would love to ditch the dongle
Keynote needs to be able to import Excel for X charts: Excel has better/prettier chart capability. Preferably import via whatever passes for OLE for realtime updating.
Also, Chimera is fairly easy to 'metalize' if you have the Apple developer tools. Just download the latest set, open up the Chimera.nib files, and check on all the window object 'Textured' attributes. IB is like ResEdit**3.. I bet I can get rid of the textured stuff in Safari by doing this..
XWindows is good, but could be better. Just like many other things in OSS.
XWindows gives you easy remotely-accessible GUI apps, on a per-app basis, in a pretty transparent way. You can't do that in Windows: you'd have to write a client/server architecture for each app.
This is super handy, even over dialup, when you're running GUI apps remotely, such as 'metatool' or the Sun SE perftools.
Does it make more sense to restart from scratch (via framebuffer drivers) and create a single-user single-system window system? Would it be faster/better to just fix what's wrong with X? Apple seems to think so, I'm not so sure. Part of it is deciding what's 'wrong' with X, and where and how it should be fixed.
The entire 16/32 Windows family has been a string of paid upgrades, from Win98 to ME.. I assume you either didn't bother with gaming and stuck with NT, are very new to M$ and use 2k/XP, or don't mind serious stability issues..
M$ set the standard in nickel-and-diming users, from Windows 95 Day ONE.. Remember the Plus pack? It was a series of components that were initially free with 95 (in the betas) but were packaged along with a pinball game and sold for $50 extra.. 98 was a bugfix of 95 with a few device support features (USB support was the biggie, not sure if 95 ever got that as a separate upgrade), and SE was a paid bugfix of 98. ME of course was a monstrosity, and yes again a paid "bugfix" of SE. Not to mention the OEM-only nonsense with different 95, 98 patchlevels, which wreaked some havoc when it came to certain supported devices and stability fixes.. This looks to have ended with XP, but I don't have much experience with it except that it works better with Neverwinter Nights than did ME..
I haven't dealt with that since switching to Linux for home use in 97, then OS X 10.0 when it was released.. Just remembering it gives me the screaming heebie jeebies..
M$ is worse then you or I can possibly imagine... Their only saving grace is that Monkeyboy doesn't actually physically disembowel his human victims during keynotes..
As big a fan as I am of OS X, I have to say this is kinda wrong and stupid of Apple.
Then again I said that about killing Newton.
Either way, I'll pay when I see the value of it, and pirate when I don't. Just like, I surmise, most of you.
Apple should be smarter than this.. Perhaps charging for a prosumer midrange option in these categories:
for movies:
iMovie
iMovie Plus: iMovie + some FCPro features, more effects, including QTPro
FCPro
for DVD burning:
iDVD
iDVD Plus: iDVD + non-Superdrive DVD burning, some DVD Studio Pro features.
DVD Studio Pro
for digital photography:
iPhoto
iPhoto Plus: better export options, better slideshows, more filters and edit functionality
Photoshop;)
Apple cannot do what M$ does because, simply, their being better is not good enough to trump M$' monopoly powers to the point where they can safely milk their base.. Or perhaps they've been happy with the 10.2 and.Mac paid uptake enough to try this?
As much as Time Warner pisses me off about broadband their digital stuff is actually pretty cool.
They've just started distributing HDTV-ready boxes which are free swaps for existing S-video boxes. I believe they're offering the premium HD channels, along with some midrange cable (like Discovery), but I don't think they have OTA HD like local TV stations yet, then again I don't have HDTV:/.
The S-video boxes were the only digi boxes available, and they had a full complement of outs (composite, s-video, analog rca and toslink), which I was able to use with my receiver's DBS input.
They just activated the video on demand for HBO, Cinemax, TMC and Showtime, and it's actually fucking sweet, particularly since much of it I've seen so far (including Odyssey 5 and Jeremiah) is in DD5.1. The channels feature some movies playing that month on each particular channel, and for HBO it's neat since they have the HBO movies as well as some episodes of series like Sex in the City and Oz. They really need to put everything on the big hard drive in the sky though, every episode of every series, even if the movies rotate in the schedule. It's boosted the price per month by about $5 on my combo package (cable + roadrunner), and each on demand set alacarte is $6.95/mo. Where's IFC on demand tho?
They also have the pay-per-view on demand which works OK, with some specials and odd choices. For instance, in the last 2 months they had a bunch of Hitchcock for $1.95/24h, and I 'rented' Fahrenheit 451 on special. Also, they had the Rankin Bass Tolkien 'movies' on special along with LOTR. Not too rapacious in their charges (no rewinds and returns either), but there isn't much they offer that I want to see that I haven't bought on dvd, and they don't have DD5.1 sound yet. I'd love it if they offered a 'cult' on-demand channel with discounted cult flix like 'a boy and his dog', 'repo man', 'evil dead 2', etc..
Now I want a tivo that has digital audio in and can record 5.1 AC3.. AND has 2-3 digital tuners..
Alls I can say is, I can do my accounting, movies, RFPs, and everything else on it. I can play Warcraft 3 and Age of Empires 2 on it. I get slick X in OroborosX and a very pretty bash term (with far superior transparency than anything X offers), SSH, GCC, Perl, et al. I'm happy.
Still, when I can afford to blow $3k on a toy again, I am dr00lin for that DVD burner and the denser screen... Maybe I'll be able to splurge by the time they integrate bluetooth, usb2 and 802.11g..
Funny thing though, in NJ full service is the law, and yet gas is like 20 cents cheaper than in NY which has self-serve.
I tend to go grocery shopping in Jersey, which has better prices than NYC, and better selection (International Food Warehouse, Trader Joe's with a liquor license). I do this when my 25-gal diesel tank is in reserve, then fill up at US$1.37/gal (up from $1.27:/). I save even after tolls!
Keep On Truckin!
ps: In a full-serve state I bet the pumps aren't smart (credit/debit card accepting with PIN keypad), so the costs and the delays of going self-serve would probably be a burden..
Really, at this point the goals of fuel taxes should only be related to road maintenance, insurance and emissions control. For noncommercial vehicles, this is best done by a fuel consumption tax, since the cause/effect is so evident. Raise the gasoline tax to a point high enough to cause discomfort to the populace, and they start looking for lighter, more efficient vehicles which use less fuel (lower taxes) and weigh less (less mangling of roads, thus less maintenance needed, thus less money for maintenance needed). Raise it a little more to subsidize ethanol and biodiesel in passenger cars, thus reducing our dependence on foreign oil. Fuck the poor, they can get out of their underinsured, undermaintained polluting jalopies, take mass transit and put money saved towards not being poor anymore.
Diesel, being linked to large heavy vehicles and consumer price indexes (shipping, power, etc) should be handled differently. Road taxes by weight (the system used today) with moderate taxes on petrodiesel should be in place, and some of that petro tax used to subsidize biodiesel and biodiesel conversion subsidies.
I'm thinking US$3/gal gasoline, $1.75/gal diesel should get people moving towards lower fuel use (less envirodamage and terrorism subsidizing).
Of course, I drive a diesel. Think globally, drive locally..;)
ps: one of my friends recently scoffed at the idea of a hybrid SUV. Frankly, I think SUVs should be the EARLIEST adopters. People want them, not just for the tax dodge. They're pretty useful for what they offer, and people have legitimate needs for traction, space and ruggedness. Let's just get them to 40MPG, preferably hybrid diesel wankel power:)
Another way to do this is to install and run Privoxy, which lets you choose how to handle GIFs (either no animation, animate once, or full animate), and gives you ad and popup blocking at the same time.
I know I'm on a privoxy kick, but I recently had my cable modem lapse (unemployment is a bitch) and I've noticed little slowdown thanks to not downloading ads (particularly flash) and other junk.
I'm also a big fan; there's really no reason to go with OmniWeb anymore as Chim handles pretty much every website I visit better. Chimera also imho handles tabs better than Opera for OS X, and I like that it integrates with OS X proxy settings (though I'd like the developers to make that a little more obvious in the doccys;)
Obvious features I'd like to see though:
more OSXisms, like glowing borders around selected textareas (ala omniweb)
Better theme support, including a theme/preference for 'Textured' (aka brushed metal). This stuff can be done with external apps like InterfaceBuilder, but it should be easier.
UserAgent quick-selects and customization within Preferences, ala Opera
SOME added mail functionality, such as include full webpage as attachment. I like 0.6 adding send link, but I want send page as well to mail copies of 'registration required' pages.
more stability.
better 'threading' behavior: I notice that tabs behave 'blocked' by other tabs' slowness or failure to load pages. Each tab (and browser window obviously) should download and behave independently of any other.
more features, including autofill, more keyboard shortcuts, etc.
better documentation
better interface into 'Helper Application' settings, such as RealPlayer and QuickTime. Ideally Chimera would ask me before it loads something that runs within a helper app whether I want to save or run. This should be configurable and is pretty much a standard item in modern browsers. 0.6 addresses this a bit, but I'd prefer to have an additional option to choose per-click, in order to best avoid rogue code.
Integrate Privoxy:)
Better performance and stability:)
I don't change web habits often, but I have gone from Mozilla web+mail to OS X Mail + Chimera and I'm quite happy with the switch. Chimera should be the only web browser ANY OS X user ever needs, from Grandmas to Geeks. And, of course, being an OS X program, it needs to be pretty, easy to use, and very very powerful. In fact, as it stands now, it IMHO should be the standard OS X browser distributed by Apple, but only when it's a bit more stable (it crashes often on the NYTimes site, and particularly when closing tabs or going from one site to another by cmd-l, typing a new url, and hitting enter when a different page was already loading).
I only hope that moving to the 1.2 (or any other post 1.0) branch won't be too painful or duplicative of work.. I already don't like that the kill-tab behavior is 'backwards' and that throws me when I use Moz..
... preferably one that will fit into my TiG4 and combine 802.11b/(a|g) and Bluetooth.
Perhaps that upgrade will be available when it's included in the next TiG4 (groundless rumor)?

The best beef comes from the happiest animals, the ones who grew up roaming the lands and eating grass. The kind of beef grown in Alberta (Canada), Argentina and Brazil.
This also tends to be a bit tougher than feedlot beef, but more healthy due to its lower fat (particularly saturated) content. The antibiotic issue is a non-starter for me, since at least some of the evidence out there shows that antibiotics are entirely consumed in the animals and not passed into the meat. Still, free-range animals don't require antibiotics since their living conditions are healthier and their lifestyles make them more robust (and free-range breeds tend to be hardier).
Personally, I wouldn't mind paying extra for free-range beef, if it was a more relevant part of my diet. I just like to thumb my nose at the earnest, self-righteous womens-studies-grad-student ninnies trying to suck the life out of life. Where are the red-blooded, non-naive, honest, Teddy Roosevelt progressives?
I had to do this fairly recently for my old co, and I found that for a windows-only shop the Bynari InsightConnector was the easiest way to do this. It works with Cyrus (or any IMAP with ACLs) and uses imap mailboxes for calendars, todos, etc. About $40/seat, but only for Windows, and no web-based component.
I looked at Steltor, but they've been bought by Oracle and while their pricing was attractive (~$80/seat) you have to install Oracle 9iAS and DB, which if you want linux you need the $1500 RHAdvanced Server. It's also (from a sysadmin POV) a cast iron biatsch to install. I would say if you want Steltor, get a dedicated Solaris box (maybe a V120 with large HDDs and/or an array).. Oracle on Linux is kinda ugly anyway..
I looked at the Samsung product also, but I kinda gave up on it since I couldn't get a price without going thru some kind of asinine contact process.. All I want is a price list, and I won't do business with anyone who won't provide a straightforward price list.
MY definition of a 'Unix' system is a computer which I can SSH to and install software like this:
./configure && make && make install
And it works.
OS X qualifies. You don't need X-windows to be a Unix system: many of my Linux boxes have X explicitly removed, to save space and prevent sploits. All the tools are available. Jaguar even includes bash now, my earlier os x needed bash built from ports (yes, you could use FreeBSD ports on OS X, though I think that went away in favor of fink).
I've worked with AIX, SunOS, Solaris, HP-UX, Digital Unix, IRIX, OpenBSD, Linux, and FreeBSD. IMEAO OSX qualifies as a fully-fledged member of the Unix fraternity. Don't let the fact that it's easy to use and pretty fool you. It's kinda like IRIX without all the security flaws, frankly.
Maybe it's under my threshold or something, but if you haven't installed Privoxy as a local proxy yet, you're n-v-t-s nuts..
Works great in Linux, and OS X from personal experience, and it's supported on just about anything.. Though I have a bug with Mac IE on OSX and Privoxy, which doesn't really bug me (Chimera works perfectly)..
... There's no need for a law to force all users to have DRM in their cameras, but a police-spec requirement for legal preclusion of tampering would be useful.
Police already have legal requirements for speedo calibration in cruisers, and other standardization requirements.
I would support police digital enhancement, just as long as it was strictly monitored and reproducible: that is, a secure source image must be used and provided so opposing technical experts could reproduce any enhancement when provided the methodology by prosecutors.
Perhaps a standard opensource package or extension (Police GIMP perhaps?) could provide both the tools and auditing for digital forensic photography..

Could be nice..

I doubt it'd be possible to stay at 1" thick and support that, but maybe a titanium screen mount would permit that..
