  1. Arrested Development on MSN WFM on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    I'm using Safari 2 on a Mac, though. They're just Flash videos.
    Check that your plugins are up to date, or report it to Apple.

  2. Excel wasn't a Windows app :) And QuickTime? Well. on Safari on Windows, Leopard Debut at WWDC · · Score: 1

    (Excel 2.0 was the first Windows version, after two years on the Mac. Just sayin'.)

    I recall reading after Apple first ported QuickTime to Windows, that it was abstracted such that a significant amount of classic Mac OS was effectively ported with it... so QuickTime could run "thinking" it was on a Mac... Whether that still points to a partial explanation for the performance of some Apple software on Windows, I'll leave to others.

    The Microsoft Mac software made by their Macintosh Business Unit has been generally fair to good at the time [Office apps, IE], while software made by other teams at Microsoft have totally sucked [Windows Media Player].

    As long as your browsers compete while striving honestly for standards-compliance, having a wider choice is a good thing.
    There are a few on the Mac side, too.

  3. ROK.TV on Nokia Declares N-Gage A Failure · · Score: 1

    For the time being, ask the Brits -- http://www.rok.tv/

  4. Re:Smokey the Bear says... on More Problems for the Treo 650 · · Score: 1

    well Amazon (US) has it for about $275 w/contract after rebates.

  5. NY Sun article: "Libertarians Win a Hearing..." on Libertarian Party Suit Could Mean A 3-Party Debate · · Score: 3, Informative

    The New York Sun is running an informative story on the case.

  6. the "debate commission" on Libertarian Party Suit Could Mean A 3-Party Debate · · Score: 5, Informative

    You seem unaware that the Commission on Presidential Debates is a private concoction created in 1988 by the Republican and Democratic National Committees to bring the debates fully under control of the major party campaigns. The CPD works for them. The CPD also provides a means for corporations to give additional soft-money contributions to those two parties.

    A third party is only permitted if the Democratic and Republican campaigns believe it advantageous to their interests. The CPD is not "official" or "federal" in the sense you seem to assume.

  7. Fake?...for a grade? on Apple PDA? · · Score: 1
    This reminds me of a time at university--

    Someone had broken into the display cases of the Industrial Design exhibit. Stolen were many of the students' final projects. The projects were mockups/models of radar detectors. Seemingly, the thief was convinced they were real.
