I've read on several other Mac news sites (Macintouch, MacMinute, MacSlash) that FiarPLay is now called hymn (for hear your music anywhere). Why didn't Slashdot note this, or has there been a fork in the project?
We could have a true-to-life Mars landscape to traverse with these more accurate algorithms. Or, say, ride along the top of a microprocessor that's been nrought to scale with human size.
The original Hierarchal Filesystem (HFS), introduced well before System 6 was called "Mac OS Standard" after Mac OS 8.1. It was this same release that Apple released Hierarchal Filesystem Plus (HFS+), which they opted to call "Mac OS Extended." In Tiger, using the metadata and relational aspects tacked onto HFS+ will be called Mac OS Extreme when you go to format your drive and turn on different features of your filesystem.
Take this with a large grain of salt, but supposedly the work on Mac OS Extended for Tiger is going to be pretty far-reaching and will be fleshed out for years to come. I've heard the name Mac OS Extreme thrown around for the update to HFS+.
This was a nice gesture, but where is Be now? Nowhere. Its assets are owned by Palm and Palm isn't extending this favor to Yellowtab, or anyone else, sadly.:_(
This is a nice effort, but I wish the various splintered post-Be BeOS update communities would unite. Precious skills and time are being pushed in different directions. Short of Palm throwing one of the groups an official bone, I think it would make more sense for the (what is it, three? four?) groups working on BeOS hacks to start working together.
Apple considered buying Be a few years ago for BeOS and opted for NeXT instead. Now, years, later, they have hired several Be engineers to work on the Mac OS X filesystem. It looks like Apple is getting Be without having to buy the whole company. Be fans, look at Tiger as an upgrade for your favorite OS.
their electornics? One is typically told to turn off all music players, laptops, and mobile phones before the flight begins, and only laptops and music players are safe to use in-flight.
Can someone explain to me how Wi-Fi is going to be a safe bet to use throughout the flight?

I don't think I'll have to. I have a 1 GHz Pentium III, 256 MB RAM. Please tell me that's enough to run a game.
Has anyone heard if NIN's soundtrack is making it into the game or not?
It was a rhetorical question. I already knew they had changed the name; obviously, CmdrTaco had not bothered to check.
It's the vaccuum in my bank account, left after I withdraw enough to buy a new video card that can handle Doom III.

What's that have to do with anything?
I wonder if they know that Motorola renamed the G4 to e600.
It just doesn't have the same ring, does it?
Yeah. Thanks. I didn't know that already.
Like real live operating systems.
Sounds like one of those "worms" or "viruses" we have nowadays.
Am I the only one who thinks that Dirac sounds like some sort of monster from the Dr. Who series?
So sorry to intrude upon your eliteness with silly user-level nomenclature.
And program it not to answer their number. Pretty simple, really.

Forking makes Jesus cry. :_(

Good point, interesting coincidence, but Jobs was more than just a VP at Apple. He was founder and Chairperson of the Board.

This voids your warranty!
