Unfortunately, if you download the source to Adium you'd know that it uses the open source "FireTalk" library which the article says will be an incompatible protocol. Therefore, Fire and Adium are in the same boat if they both use the same library.
Too true, there's nothing wrong with trying to compete with other companies, especially if that means inovating and giving consumers better quality. However, it's not exactly economics 101 where two car manufacturers offer rivaling goods and services on the open market: Microsoft makes the roads and the cars.
I know this is a moot point since the exploit is for windows IE (i believe), but I found it kind of weird that the gopher protocol for Mac OS X IE is handled by OmniWeb as a 'helper app', another browser entirely. Weird stuff. Perhaps Microsoft's lack of effort in the Mac IE has been a saving grace in cases like this. Just a thought.
In summary, from what I've read, it is a good rule of thumb to multiply the G4 clockspeed by 1.33 to get a better comparison, though I'm not sure if this includes acceleration due to Altivec code.
From my experience with digital editing, I can say that it is quite unlikely that you would use input from anything other than analog or DV.
Moreover, some things about iMovie that weren't mentioned was how very easy it was to learn--even my sister could do it! I created my first movie in less than an hour knowing nothing. New plugins are available on the net for those feeling cramped with the original package, some of which are free (from Apple). iMovie also seamlessly integrates with Quicktime, iDVD, and even iTunes (for tracks). The few windows digital programs I've seen are all right, but not nearly as intuitive.
iMovie could use another star, though probably not the full five because there isn't yet a feature to automatically arrange tracks.
"I just know by being in the business, there's definitely a need for a portable format," he said. "Portable CD players are too big and too bulky." -- see article
*Portable CD Players are mostly used for plugging into your car or listening to in a bus. *If you really want a cost-effective and small music player, try an MP3 player like the iPod (5GB, rw, $400). Why would a consumer by a read-only, write-protected, $270 dollar, 500Mb device when they could have so much more with an iPod or Rio...much less "bulky" than a CD player too. (provided, you do need a CPU for one, not hard to find someone with one though.)
Suppose you are a student, or in education; you can get FCP 3 for a mere $300 and the Cinema tools for the same. That's $600 for a LOT of power. It is absolutely marvelous that apple values students enough to offer so much for so little, not even Micro$oft has such discounts as Apple when it comes to giving the ability to learn important software ($1,400 wow!). This is further demonstrated by their student developer plan. I'm glad someone thinks we're important.
I wonder if Carnivore is an x86 only program? Somehow I doubt there would be a Mac version since it uses PPC, or at least, not a Mac os X version yet. Perhaps a Carbon version of Carnivore is coming down the pike though...:)
Reasons to Think Private:
- Virus/Worms are primarily written for Windows
- Server Attacks are primarily on Windows
- Carnivore is X86 Wintel Exclusive?
1) Activate the Root Account Using "NetInfo Manager". See here for details.
2) Login as your admin account, open the terminal app located the utilities folder.
3) On the command line, type:
su root
Enter the root password you defined earlier.
4) Now type:
chown normalUsername *
5) Watch the fireworks. You'll have to do a hard reboot; nothing will be damaged in your system. Open files will be lost.
*Yeah, I did this one without thinking. It's the prettiest error I've ever seen. Text will print right over your GUI and lock you up.:)

According to various rumour sites, there will also be:
1) Drastically increased finder speeds
2) Spring-loaded folders
3) Accompanying Java 1.4 dev kit release

Perhaps not the best new apple campaign...hrrmmm.
