I'm going to have to disagree. Although there are parts that look odd and half finished, like the metal beams jutting out over the entrances, walking around the back and seeing the gigantic wall of glass is kind of cool. And it's purdy on the inside. Reminds me of DCL, actually.
Just to clarify, the Mac OS compatability layer is Carbon [well, it's more than compatability, they really improved on the old Mac Toolbox, but anyway...], and Cocoa is the updated OpenStep stuff. Also, they're using parts of FreeBSD 5, and I imagine there's some Net and OpenBSd in there, too.
Not to be pendantic, but wouldn't it be more of a hardware abstraction? I mean, it's rumored to be a G5 chip, so it wouldn't make much sense to emulate the same chip...
Ever had that experience with the neighbors who never close their windows when they're being intimate? What happens now when we have neighbors who don't realize their pornography is displayed right on their windows?
A truly hilarious film. There was some controversy that people might have confused it for a lighter Christmas parody, but it was an excellent dark farce.
Best quote from Billy Bob Thorton, while in a Santa suit, while having anal sex with a woman: "You're not going to shit right for a week."
The twenty inch screen is nice, but would have also been nice if Apple would have added FireWire 800 to this revision. And 256 megs or RAM is a little bit low...
I imagine Apple managed to port iTunes because quite a few of the Carbon APIs were already put into Quicktime for Windows. So before anyone asks if there will be a Linux port, it's doubtful right now. There's nothing POSIX or OpenStep like that'll work with Linux. It's all Carbon, as far as I can tell.
Might it be too soon to really determine how fast the G5 is? I imagine there's a lot of room for optimizing the code of a lot of applications for the PPC 970.
Also, IBMs newest XL compilers are said to make a big difference in a lot of cases.
Maybe the true speed of the new PowerMac isn't quite apparent yet?
...you can probably just boot using a CD or external hard drive, which results in a much worse security problem, since it'll give you access to Mac OS 9. You can use that to trash the Mac OS X system, since you can destroy all the normally hidden files and not worry about permissions.

Doesn't seem to work for me on a recent nightly build of Camino.
Mike, when your son gets to the age he can click a mouse, will you be mortified when he comes across Penny Arcade?

Since this is a Delta rocket, is it going to go through Atlanta International? Seems like every Delta flight I've been on goes through there...

Is this something that can be done with conventional materials, or is this another carbon nanotube based idea that might never come to pass?
Oh, just come out now. You play the flute, everyone already knows...
