I have an addiction to information collection for my specific interests, which is why I'm going north of 12TB of historical crap. I understand his desire to archive all the things.
At least my wife can't complain about the amount of physical space the data takes up since HDD densities have been getting better recently...
My mom has a Singer from the mid 1920s (according to her) that is the most bulletproof piece of hardware I recall ever using.
About the only thing that has been done to it, as far as I can tell, is that the drive belt and power cord have been replaced due to material decomposition.
Actually, Flash for the Mac does not have an auto update mechanism. Many people rely on Apple to supply Flash updates by way of OS updates. It's been that way for years. The latest spate of security issues with Flash has changed the landscape a bit.
When Apple qualified a version of Flash to ship with an OS update, but that version is a revision behind what Adobe has publicly posted, Apple is given shit for not having the latest update in their distribution. When Apple decides to let Adobe do the legwork in getting the newest version into peoples' hands, Apple is given more shit.
I don't see this being much different from the position on Java: third-party crap that they don't want to be responsible for anymore.
If Adobe wants to have Flash be up to date on the Mac, they can do it themselves.
As an aside, but as a still peripherally-related statement, about the only third party software I'm in favor of Apple supplying themselves is printer drivers. That stuff is constantly changing, and though I rarely print, I think that it's more important to support those vendors and get the latest print software out there than to get the newest versions of slow, antiquated runtimes onto machines.
I would imagine that their use of the Apple-designed Safari logo (it is stored on their server at http://assist.infospace.com.edgesuite.net/bellassist/pics/compass.png) is an infringing use of Apple's intellectual property, especially if it is designed to appear as though Safari itself generated the message and cause confusion as to the source of the message.
Get Apple legal's hounds on Bell and see what happens.
My father-in-law does commercial data wiring and has been doing it for almost 30 years. He hand cuts 99% of his stock and my wife and mother in law are his "termination specialists" when he's got big jobs to do. Just a week or two ago, they were manually installing ends on Cat 6a for 10GbT install at a major company locally. IN THE KITCHEN OF MY HOUSE.
He gets contracts and repeat business for being EXTREMELY efficient in his cable cutting and clean in his routing and organization in the racks and rooms. You just can't get the kind of "fit and finish" as I'd like to call it from commercial cables. Cable waste from pre-cut is usually really high, and a lot of other contractors just pull from the spool, whereas F-I-L actually measures lengths, pre-cuts into bundles for each set of drops, and has a few feet AT MOST of leftover cable on each spool when he's done. He has a simple integrity tester for jobs that don't require certification of the cables, and one of those crazy ass frequency spectrum testers that measure the throughput for each pair for the jobs that do.
Belkin ethernet cable is the Monster Cable of UTP: useful and sometimes good quality but overpriced as hell and usually much better deals can be found. Your boss probably got a hand job in the rack room from a Belkin rep, or he's been reading too many of Belkin's Amazon.com reviews for pre-cut UTP.
I mean, just because a few medium-profile sites running on Macs have experienced a failure causing data loss doesn't make them unique. Every OS and every type of hardware will, at some point, experience a failure. It's the PEOPLE that make the failure a problem, and it sure looks like this tard was a problem.
Who the hell doesn't back up their data? Seriously? This is "Slashdot worthy" because some hapless Mac user lost their data. BOO FUCKING FAIL. Move on.

yeah
Every day we read about how science doesn't have it's shit figured out as much as we thought, but damnit, CLIMATE CHANGE IS HUMAN CAUSED 100%.
Never mind that giant ball of (deadly) nuclear waste in the middle of our solar system. (remember, nuclear power is bad, kids)

I'm running 10.6.8 in a VMWare VM on my Retina MacBook Pro, and it's got great Rosetta performance.

This is why we invented nukes, people.
I'm guessing that's for YouTube.ca showing Nickelback clips?

So what you're saying is that size doesn't matter as much as how you use it?

As long as they haven't licensed any of Google's patents on self-driving vehicles. I'm sure if it's successful, Google will bitch about it, though.
Aside from Flash and print/device drivers at the kext level, I can't think of any third party software that ships as part of Apple's OS installation.
Apple no longer bundles Stuffit Expander, Internet Explorer, Netscape, MacLinks, or any of that stuff anymore.
Can you tell me the names of any applications that were bundled and are being removed?
