Dude, Gamester you posted pretty much the same comment on your release notes. So much for using a pseudonym for your smear campaign, huh?
@Chris, no, Plex is a software fork of XBMC for Mac (look up âoesoftware forkâ on wikipedia for its meaning), XBMC is the original, they are two separate project worked by two separate development teams, some code copying between the project does take place though,(Boxee is another fork of XBMC that is also available for the Mac).
Short story is that Elan Fieldgold, who then as a member of Team-XBMC was the one who originally started porting XBMC to Mac OS X, he then decided to leave Team-XBMC (due to reasons I will not go into here) and go out on his own and start a his own new project based on XBMC for Mac. Plex was never formally named âoeOSXBMCâ, it was only referred to as OSXBMC because Elan previously had a blog on osxbmc.com in which he posted news of the progress on the porting development.
I will not go into any more details as it has already been discussed to death and you will find more if you search for âoePlexâ in our XBMC for Mac forum, please go there if you absolutely feel the need to discuss it further than this.

From my experience the comcast setup doesn't even work on a mac running OS X 10.4. Happened 4 times on 4 different account/machines. Try running it and you'll hit a dead end every time. I've found it just easier to just call them before you setup and have them setup over the phone. Comcast may suck but the speed/price is unmatched.
seriously. None of the replies are rated high enough to be shown in full... Just a long line of subjects.. looks like no one gives a flying... about DOS or Lotus... HAHAHA
How about this:
Don't write the damn movie your self!
Wait wait! I got a better one, HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MOVIE except for financial backing. don't even allow him to watch it till opening day. I'll bet it'd rock then.
XBMC provides great AAC support, just not PROTECTED AAC support. Also XBMC allow you to connect to your iTunes Music shares and access your playlists with out using Samba, etc. The only thing I've had problem with is getting album art to show up correctly...
Come on, we all admit to being music pirates but when it comes to sticking it to M$ we go legit? While your all out there looking for a new song just download an XP installation also.
Actually in my experince AAC files ripped on my PowerMac play fine in WinAmp 2 with the help of an AAC plugin. Do a little searching on the net, you'll come up with plenty of info on this.
Everyone should note, AAC files downloaded from iTMS will only play with iTunes but if you rip the songs or convert MP3's in iTunes there is no DRM inserted.

That's good, because most all "hot new singles" are crap! I'd rather pay less for older music that actually had some style.

Shouldn't matter, MS servers are supposed to be bullet proof... HAR HAR HAR

What this article is missing is the generic "Apple Computer Is dead" quote too! I feel ripped off!
I have a feeling this is going to be the worst discussion I've ever seen for a story...
Actually Nelson Muntz goes "HAW! HAW!" You can hear the distinct "W" in there...
