Really? I just looked at/etc/crontab and found no jobs in there, and I looked at/System/Library/LaunchDaemons and found com.apple.periodic-daily.plist (among others) that launches the periodic script at the right time without touching cron, something that cron used to do back on Panther.
I haven't looked at launchd yet (and I'm running Tiger, so I have no excuse), but I could imagine it being something like service A says "I need networking" and service B says "I provide networking" and launchd says "aha, service B has to start before service A does". That's reasonably automatic - it's certainly a lot better than service A saying "hey, I need service B".
Again, I haven't looked at launchd yet, so this is just a theoretical example of how it could work.
Safari has browser masquerading (enable the Debug menu), autofill, and such. There's no shortcuts, but I *believe* there's a third-party plugin that adds it (I'm not sure). There's no regex filtering, but PithHelmet is a third-party plugin that adds it.
If there's no RTC, then answer these 2 questions:
1) How does it tell itself to power up the CPU every second? There would have to be *some* kind of measurement device in there
2) What would possibly be the point of leaving out an RTC on a device with a clock in it? Even if you're not using calendars or anything, there's still the clock functionality.
So basically, I'm calling bull on you. There's *got* to be an RTC in there. In fact, if you were right then my iPod which I haven't charged in close to a month (I haven't used it recently because I haven't gone anywhere, just sat in my dorm room until I came home for christmas, and now in my house we have music playing constantly so what's an iPod for there?) and it still has battery left (and, in fact, I used it since my last charge for probably about an hour, so that's additional battery drain).
So basically, prove that there's no RTC or shut up.
Despite not being mentioned in the release notes, Safari was also updated to v1.1.1. However, the only difference I can see is that the title attribute now shows up as a tooltip (which is a good thing, granted). Dave Hyatt's weblog lists many other changes post-v1.1, but in my tests they didn't make it in to v1.1.1. Such a shame.
