I have found that you have capitalized all the letters in the word Mac. However, Mac is short for Macintosh, a model series of computers and operating systems designed by the Apple Computer, Inc. of Cupertino California. e.g. iMac, Power Mac and Mac OS X: http://www.apple.com/
However Mac is an abbreviation (see: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=abbreviation ) of the full word Macintosh. If it is written as all capitals, MAC, is an acronym for the computer technology Media Access Control: http://webopedia.com/TERM/M/MAC.html which is a technology and standard used in the hardware devices used to connect to the internet or network computers together (modems, network interface cards, routers, switches and hubs.)
I hope that I have not offended or overwhelmed you. It was simply my intention to inform you as to the proper capitalization of the abbreviation for Macintosh.

#2: Well Apple _can_ very well do whatever they damn please. My effing first Mac an 867 Quicksilver is loud as hell and it doesn't have a Mic port (well now it does after having purchased an iMic in the past and replaced that with an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 sound card. Their previous and future Power Mac models also had a maximum RAM capacity of 2 GB mine and a few other models was shlocked at 1.5 GB.)
Back to my point oh yeah they could just disable the ports that iTunes streaming uses from being forwarded through their crippled SSHd offering.
If you people keep publicly posting ways to circumvent Apple's attempts to secure files from being pirated then it won't be long before they're do a Software Update containing an "updated" version of SSHd. STFU.
First of all if you want to parody an Intitialism such as BSoD you want to keep it the same amount of letters. Beachball is actually two words according to Dictionary.com beach ball is the correct spelling. So SBBoD just doesn't work, it looks and sounds stupid.
Next up the Pizza, it in no way looks like any pizza I have seen under any state of mind. So you can just quit it with that. How many blue and purple pizza slices have you seen not counting Japanese Squid Ink Pizza? Even that's more black than either color.
In its most general form the spinning "Beach Ball" or "Pizza" cursor is really just a Disc.
I've been calling it a Spinning Disc of Death for as long as I can remember but someone made a good point in a post to this/. article that unlike the Blue Screen of Death, the cursor doesn't mean an imminent and uncertain end, i.e. a crash.
So I'd like to maybe switch the D of Death to maybe be the D of Doom, because to most of us having to wait makes it feel more like we're doomed when we're in a hurry more than it makes us feel like we're going to die.
My Spinning Disc of Death will now be known as a Spinning Disc of Doom.:)
I also like what user jo_ham called it "The Beach Ball of Rumination"
In addition, the colorful cursor isn't one of a kind, it has an older brother that you sometimes see when using Classic or Carbon apps like Mozilla. It is made up of four quarter slices alternating black and white. When you use the term SDoD you cover all the bases...

on the above Torrentse.cx hyperlink I posted, I swear it was OK when I went to the site to get the URL, but after I posted the comment and went to check if my HTML was written correctly I clicked the hyperlink and it had turned into TubGirl.com I think it's been "hacked". Visit it tomorrow.
Ever since I've gotten into using BitTorrent, BT for short. One of the biggest sites for Torrents (.torrent checksum files) is on a.cx TLD (Top Level Domain:) Torrentse.cx
No biggie. It is a lot of work getting a "clean" URL from most web sites nowadays.
The trick with Apple's is to track down the KB article # and append it to the end of a url you know is clean.
You can find a clean url by going to an article that contains a link to other articles and using those links as a base.
Take this url for example:
Slashdot Mirror
Moot not mute.
"Actually"
"He"
"whether"
"not"
"He"
"prophet"
"Son"
"God"
AMEN!

It is a common misconception that MAC is an acronym that stands for something such as DOS (Disk Operating System) and ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) those examples being an Acronym (see: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Acronym ) and an Initialism (see: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=Initialism ) respectively.
However Mac is an abbreviation (see: http://everything2.com/index.pl?node=abbreviation ) of the full word Macintosh. If it is written as all capitals, MAC, is an acronym for the computer technology Media Access Control: http://webopedia.com/TERM/M/MAC.html which is a technology and standard used in the hardware devices used to connect to the internet or network computers together (modems, network interface cards, routers, switches and hubs.)

Well, I'm pretty sure they got permission for this one:

Flurry screensaver -> Flurry screensaver built into Mac OS X 10.2 but as a "light" version.

That game rocks, thanks for the heads up!

That was my first thought. Kinda seems unlikely for a site to be /.'ed by an Apple section post.
Anyway it is down on my end too.
No biggie. It is a lot of work getting a "clean" URL from most web sites nowadays.
0 98 not only is this a clean url most of the links in it pointing to other articles are also clean.

You can find a clean url by going to an article that contains a link to other articles and using those links as a base.
Take this url for example:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75
Try 2002.
As usual people quoting an Apple KB article URL forget that they're logged in, etc problem. Here's the public URL: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=615 85 Hope that helps!
