I'm sure I'll get shit for this, but they sell a separate hardware RAID card for the Xserve and the Mac Pro. I get them on all the Xserves I purchase that I need more assurance than a mirror.
Well, it's coming natively to the iPhone in a month so I hope it'll be included natively in the OS next year...
Then again, it isn't really necessary to include it natively if Cisco could make a reliable product in the face of all the major dot upgrades... I mean, I hope that someone has a Dev Select account at Cisco.:\
And I'm sick of people bitching about having to support Macs in any sort of environment. Instead of whining about "no one training me" and "administration won't hire a Mac person" why don't you go to one of these 'fanboy's' you have and say, "Listen, you can have these, and future support, but you need to buy us some as well and give us a couple months to come up to speed."
Jesus, it's a very easy OS to support, one of the easiest if you already have Linux knowledge. Man up and learn it like you no doubt learned Linux: hands-on experience.
Umm... I have had a grand total of one crash... with Mac Mail.
With the exception of the installer error due to third-party plugins, I have experienced nothing but stability. Additionally, I have heard of only one or two people who have had issues.
If I wanted to be slashdotted, I should have bitched and moaned about Ubuntu when I was having kernel panics due to my attempt at compiling hfs+ drivers... oh wait, I found the problem instead of complaining. Macs come with a great log parsing tool called 'Console' for a reason... look at it and call AppleCare.
You do know that the iPod functions as an external hard drive as well as an MP3 player, right? Just put your MP3's on the harddrive in a folder, bring them to your friend's house, copy them to his machine and he can add them to whatever playlist he wants.
Sure, this might mean that you "technically" have two copies on your iPod at one time, but who really cares? Apple didn't stifle this sort of creative give-and-take, they just made it so that Digital Rights Managed songs would not be easily moved and they made that ubiquitous for all MP3s added to the PLAYLIST. I transfer music back and forth using the harddrive method all the time... same effect.
Microsoft's Anti-Spyware package (Windows Defender) is really a nice base for anti-spyware movements, but it will never be enough. Once you start relying on a single point for all of your defense stuff is bound to start targetting that. I mean within a week of the Windows Anti-Spyware Beta being released spyware creators were already targetting it for deletion upon "infection."
I do agree that corporations like Symantec and McAfee that offer bloated and underwhelming spyware/malware removal tools are in for a big threat. However, companies like Lavasoft and programs like Spybot will continue to thrive because they offer a diversity of scanning software.
Lucky? Certainly. But if luck is to be the cornerstone of the capitalist system then it is simply feudalism in a fancy dress.
Just a point of fact - feudalism has nothing to do with luck. Those societies required quite a bit of work and human ingenuity to develop a society that has been incorrectly labeled since it's inception as dictatorial.
This isn't to say that I support Bull Gates' continuous proposals of closed source software... I'm just a history buff who is sick of extreme stereotypes of incredibly modern interpretation of intuitive and progressive ideas that were expounded during the middle ages...
It's not spyware because it isn't spyware

iTunes is Malware?

Check out the update on Macosxhints.com. Apple contacted them directly to let them know that iTunes is not collecting any information... btw, if they are recommending songs based on genre, artist, etc that is gathered locally and not stored in some Apple super-spyware database someplace then to get a list of songs from the Music Store it's going to have network traffic...

Windows XP = lean Windows Vista = fat Windows 7 = leaner than Vista = Windows XP
Or so people keep saying (about XP and Vista).
Back to square one?
Uh, no.
NT = lean
2000 = Average
XP = Overweight
Vista = Obese
At least they've been consistent though!
Ugh...
And it's about time. Now we just need to get some "volunteers" to get on a spaceship...

Actually, they can add anything they want from Linux... to Darwin. And yes, you can download Darwin and install it on anything you want.
They can't add anything to the OSX GUI layer and close it off since it would violate the GPL.
Is there someplace I can file a complaint... maybe I should just copyright "Wii" quickly... maybe then they'll switch back...
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SWITCH BACK!
Eh, I thought it would be funny if a judge used something really simple and well known for his code... oh well, the output is below:

I would have agreed about 7 months ago... that's the last time they sold anything but the eMac with anything less than 512 MB RAM.
Check out the apple store and see for yourself now... http://store.apple.com/
All I have to say is... wow... PROFIT!
"The gun is good. The penis is evil. Go forth... and kill!"
I laugh 'til I cry...
Oh my...
