There isn't any sandboxing with Java applications. Only the applets that run in an applet viewer (like a browser). Java on the server allows people to write secure code (see this article).
The only software that graphics pros would switch to anytime soon is Fireworks. The Gimp has much too much ground to try to catch up on before it can be considered competitive.
I think David Pogue writes his book on Windows due to the speech recognition software available for it. He dictates his books to the machine since he has carpel tunnel or something.
The clockspeeds of the computers mentioned in the introductory paragraph on that page don't match up with the clockspeeds of the computers in the charts. I'm wondering what other errors are present as well.
Also, this doesn't look like an Adobe recommendation so much as Adobe showing one group's results of a comparative test. There is more to a computer than render speed, just as there is more to a computer than compile speed.
You've got to be kidding me. My Yahoo e-mail address gets inundated with spam (I do try to use their filter, though). However, in the year and a half of having a Mac.com address, I have only received 4 spams through it. Yes, it is easy to keep track when you get so few.
Mailblocks furnishes our members, and permits third parties to furnish our members, through the Services and otherwise, with information, promotional materials and solicitations, from time to time. You may not "opt out" of the receipt of such promotional materials from Mailblocks and/or its affiliates, advertisers or other business partners if you wish to use the Services. The receipt of such promotional materials is an inseparable part of the Services that Mailblocks provides. If you decide that you would like to discontinue receiving such romotional materials, you must stop your use
of the Services and terminate your account with Mailblocks.
In order to block spam, you have to agree to accept spam? What?
No thanks, I'll stick with Apple Mail's Junk Mail feature.
This isn't the same thing as setting up Distiller or PDF Writer as a print driver. First off, that sort of capability is built in to the OS and is available from every standard print dialog.
Secondly, this allows you to write AppleScripts, Perl scripts, target folders, target applications to post-process the PDF once it is created.
Follow the links in the post or this one and you'll see that it is quite extensive.
Secondly, you know how some applications in Windows have "Send Link By Email" commands under the File menu? Well, on OS X that is a system wide function. All an application has to to is consume services in order to be able to use them (and all but legacy applications do). Any application can also produce services.
Yeah, Services is one of the coolest things about Mac OS X (and NeXT). I consider it a pre-cursor to Web Services. Services are like Web Services except they work for different applications on a computer depending on the data type they are operating on.
It isn't really useless. It gives visual feedback to what actually happens to the window when you click on the minimize widget. There are two other minimize effects, by the way. Only two of the three are exposed through the GUI.
HFS+ uses GUID to identify files rather than just the filename. This is why aliases and other things allow you to rename the file or move it and still be locatable.
So that you can be coding in Project Builder in one window. Be able to click on the next button in iTunes in another window. And have room for the Web page you're writing in Project Builder to be displayed in Safari in another window.
Dude, it is a windows, icons, mouse, pointer based GUI not a tab based GUI. Multiple windows are supposed to be there. They represent multiple documents.

Active windows don't occupy space in the Dock. That is a Windows failure, not a Mac one. Only minimizes windows reside in the Dock. Mac users also get a nice Command+` key binding that switch between open windows for the current application while Command+Tab switching between applications.

That's a Windows problem, not a windows problem. Mac OS has good window management so that it doesn't need tabs.
Slashdot Mirror

This looks like Macromedia's version of Sherlock (or Watson).
That was the exact analogy I had in mind when writing my original post!
You'd think that Slashdot would want to present both sides evenly.
Why was the prior article on this displayed on the front page, but this one only shows up under Apple?
Same here. Especially when it gives you an address book as good as Address Book that all of your applications can use.

So, I'd say he is non-biased.

Steve Jobs worked for Atari before he started Apple. He did Breakout. Actually, he got Wozniak to do a lot of it for him.
You have to select something (text, file) first before you can use services.

No, see any recent Star Wars movie for the reason why.
What about a beautifully scalled image like we get on the Macintosh?
Safari doesn't scale images when they are displayed in the browser, but just about everything else does (Mail, Preview).
Yes, you could write the application in Java.
Aren't you supposed to supervise your rugrats?

MDI is a bad thing.
