It was on over here in Scotland a few weeks ago. Nothing to get worked up about, it's been hideously dumbed down as you'd expect of anything on TV these days.
The Mac version of Adobe Photoshop CS doesn't seem to include the anti-counterfeit system, I just scanned a $1 bill (the only american currency I have, I'm in the UK) at 1200DPI with a Canon D646U scanner, and it opened with no problems in Photoshop CS. I tried with various UK notes as well and they all opened fine. Yet another reason Apple should be advertising to the criminal/organised crime market;)
Download VLC (Video Lan Client): http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/ 14738
It'll play back almost any DivX file around, audio as well. The QuickTime codecs you download for DivX suck big time, VLC is the real deal.
There shouldn't be a space before the/14738 in the URL, Slashdot sucks:/
I installed iTunes 2 nearly two weeks ago (thanks Hotline) and had no problems with it eating my drives. But, had Apple made iTunes 2 generally available previously as a beta with a disclaimer to suit (If it eats your drive, your problem, no ours) this bug would have been picked up long before it reached the final version. If Apple aren't going to spot all the destructive bugs, which generally the have up to now, they need to increase the number of beta testers to everyone on their Apple Developer Connection service. I don't know exactly how many people they dispatch pre-release software to, but I'm on the ADC and never heard a thing.
What's so wrong with 'rm -Rf ' ? It's the only command I use for trashing dirs. As long as you know what you're doing (which lets face it, most here do) you're not going to trash anything important. People who don't know how to use commands like this safely should do what Apple wants them to do and stick to a GUI, and it you rm -Rf/bin or rm -Rf/System it's your own fault.
