They use a GET for their form submit so you can go directly to that second page. I can clear cookies, change browsers, use a different computer and that link still goes to the 'main page' and skips the "Ok".
Here's another real quick example I just tried: new goes to "News for Nerds and not "newegg".
These are sites that I'm not going to book mark because that's not what bookmarks are for. I visit them daily or weekly and for the last X years I've know how to get to them without looking. Hell even IE does this better. If I start typing into the URL bar "new" why the hell would I want to go to a URL that starts with "slash".
I have quite a few servers on my home network. When I start typing in 192 do you think I really want to go to Fark thread 3219040?
Make it another bar, even enable it by default, but I want my url bar back.
I don't see how changing the way I've surfed the web for the last 2 years is 'nit picky'.
Another thing I've also noticed is 'sub pages' don't show up.
For example my slashdot page.
Another (it's the only one I can think of right now). YouPorn has a main site and then a "ok I'm 18" page you click through to. Now it doesn't even show up on the drop down. I everytime the cookies expire I have to click the "Enter" again.
I'm not bookmarking that (and when other people use my laptop I clear all settings/history).
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.
Apple's contributing back which is what the grand parent was complaining about. If other people don't use Apple's contributions how is that apple's fault?
Give me a damn google calendar sync. The free one (gcaldaemon) broke under Leopard and hasn't been updated. There are a few but the one I looked at sent the data to their servers and then used that to sync.
"The launchd daemon is essentially a replacement for init, rc, the init.d and rc.d scripts, SystemStarter (Mac OS X), inetd and xinetd, atd, crond and watchdogd."
Yeah, it's open source and even written by Apple themselves.

NexTel definitely has something to bring to the table. - While I've never used them AllTel has seemed to drive a bit of competition. First they had the "5 friends" thing then it seems everyone had that. Now they're up to "Any friend on any network" which other people seem to be copying.

You don't need fancy explosives to have fun. Plenty of stuff that will keep you off the list too.
1) Starter Fluid. It's designed to burn. No extra hair setting crap. Tossed directly into a fire is quite entertaining as well. I think I broke a height my model rockets didn't even break. Remember kids. When it comes to compressed cans, Bottoms Up. Otherwise the lid just melts and shoots out. Different effect but not as cool.
2) Fire crackers. Sure in small doses they're "cool". But if you spend an hour un wrapping them and setting them in a drain pipe arranged in packs and then use a roll of paper towels + lighter fluid as a wick it's pretty entertaining.
Entertaining enough for Campus Security to come over and ask "What was that, no, really. You're not in trouble. That was awesome?"
3) Propane Tanks. No video (yet) but a 35 lb propane tank on a fire sounds like a jet taking off when the pressure reliefs are hit. Lights the area up like daylight and looks awesome. Next up is a.308 to release all the propane at once.
Mashing buttons on the controller? Waaay too much work. What you got was the Joystick with variable 'Turbo'. You dialed it in so that the button was just a hair less than constantly held down.
It has to me, twice. Once as seller once as buyer.
I got the 'confirmation' from PayPal. I got the guaranteed address. I shipped with a tracking #. The CC was stolen. No matter. PayPal deducted an instant $900 from my account because of some wording loophole.
$2k G5 3 years ago. Opposite situation. I was the seller. Seller was long gone but Hurray for Paypal. They were able to 'recover' $150. (This prompted me to get a credit card so if anything ever did go wrong I would have full recourse through Visa)
My Leopard install is showing "OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006" while my Debian machine is showing "OpenSSL 0.9.8g 19 Oct 2007". I imagine there might be a few bugs there, and it's late enough that it wouldn't have been released close enough to be included in 10.5.0.
Lets see in/usr/(s)bin, zip, gunzip, tar, efax, cron, ip6config, postfix, cups. No chance they had any bugs. They're good open source software.
Responding to you and the guy below, the reason that these bugs are 'so big' is that Apple isn't sending out a bunch of.diff files as updates. If they're upgrading Apache 2 they have to recompile as a universal binary and send out that entire file.

No. You don't get what I'm saying, at all.

My brain for the last few years is "for"+down arrow+enter.
For slashdot the top 2 hits were ALWAYS

my slashdot page so I could see if anyone replied to me.
The latter is nowhere to be found.
I have a site that I visit quite frequently that starts with for (forums.tdiclub.com). What comes up first?
News for nerds. My forums site is 3-4 down on the list.

Hrm. Seems to work just fine on my Mac and my Debian Box. I guess I foiled apple again.
Or if you mean Apple has their own language, Cocoa, which isn't ported to XP or Linux. Funny thing is, you're not forced to use it.
Since we're on the topic of cross plat form stuff, it's not OSS, but it was one of the best selling games ever: Myst.

What a short sighted example, the AAPL reference isn't very good because they've been "back" since Dec 2007.
Here's a much better one if you want to toss AAPL into the mix:

IBM: 45%,
AAPL: 1965%
MSFT: 11%
In other news, there's a Banana.com.
