Mac Bittorrent (official client) looks like it is completely written in Python and it is getting good feedback from Mac community, especially casual bittorrent users.
It is interesting that I registered that site. After doing some background check, I didn't verify my mail as I am actually not afraid of any law but I care about artists getting money...
Result: 30 russian encoded spams in my mailbox/week started.
They should be careful about spamcop.net mail addresses;)
What makes me confused is... Why people "love" this story? I just spotted it on a turkish media watch site which has nothing to do with "tech news".
I think people outside Mac world assume Mac IE is an important browser like Windows one. It is not. I still think it wasn't a "bad" browser in its time. Obviously it is very slow now but can browse most of W3C Standard compliant www sites.
The important thing about IE for mac was: Standards support and being a standalone application does NOT mess with any part of system. For that reason, many people "keep it" in their Applications folder. Also thanks to its use of the standard OS X installer for installation, there are no "warnings" in system log even on Tiger install. I must admit they really know how to code on mac when they aren't busy with some evil "world domination" plans:)
If Windows IE was an application like Mac IE, nobody would hate it that much.
BTW, I had to "checkout" using Mac IE yesterday on a www shop. I had full order list and noticed nothing on mac except IE supports shops weird javascript. So, it stays in my/Applications folder. Thanks to OS X Arch, nothing would do any "harm" by sitting in it's folder as an.app package.
I was speaking about lead coder team. BTW, I checked your comment on Opera Mini myself, tried to show off with replying in it but couldn't pass evil Slashdot proxy test. (obvious):)
Did you see _real_ Opera mobile running on a smart phone like, lets say.. Nokia 9xxx series?
Opera is a XHTML/Flash and multimedia capable browser can run in very funny memory place.
Their recent "Opera Mini" is kind of amazing too. We are speaking about a 98KB browser running on J2ME phone. Note I have Sony Ericsson k700i and it has "Hi Fi" version, I think the 'Lo Fi' version is even less!
Opera is soon (if not already,not following scene lately) on TV Set top boxes, especially HDTV boxes too.
Also, IBM collabration promises a Voice XML browser that can run in a car dashboard.
Note, that is a 20-30 coder or little more company doing all that stuff. Of course, they have coders like guy who invented CSS etc;)
ps: I was proven wrong on Mactel decision can't happen but I think Opera is not anyone's tiny shareware company that can be bought that easy. Look at their partners.
In fact, it looks like Opera is the real "year 2005" company as everything goes wireless and they have a working product which is tested/happily bought by millions.
I really hope you don't have any connection with Google.
If you aren't that disgusted, install Yahoo toolbar ( toolbar.yahoo.com ) and check what yahoo does. Yahoo NEVER did such intrusive crap or they wouldn't be alive today with PAYING MEMBERS.
I would not reply but the stuff you said is carried by SPYWARE vendors only. Claria/Gator sued people saying half of stuff you said.
I used Yahoo toolbar non stop for 3-4 years while using windows. Never, ever seen anything wrong.
At least Yahoo will NOT index every site you bookmarked with a cookie ending in 2038. At least Yahoo is not founded by Ex NSA people. At least they don't hide human rights violations in China.
Also not to mention, GMail indexes, analyses EVERY WORD in your mail to show "relevant ads".
Nobody including spyware developers could dare to analyse everything. We attack them since they monitor the URL user is on, Google becomes "hero" while it monitors every single private mail.
It is a karma killer to bitch about Google and their dark practices but enough is enough. People started to act like cult members or something.
Guys, whatever Google fanatics say, I am one of persons actually use (near) all Yahoo services.
I noticed they upgraded their search to much more personalized stuff. "Myweb"
Also they added public bookmarks feature: "Myweb 2.0"
While thinking one of the huge companies stole enthusiast created things as del.icio.us, I heard this story.
They could move along as in fact, "online bookmarks" is a yahoo invented feature back in '98 or earlier. Everyone who uses yahoo toolbar knows it. The "public" feature was invented by del.icio guys and they bought it.
One of the funniest things about it is... It has quicktime supported cam functionality WITHOUT voice. I know one guy "video chats" running Skype and Yahoo videocam same time.
Imagine, people on Mac scene are happy that they are merging with MSN since they hope Mac unit of Microsoft will help a bit.
Just the Mac gives a clue about how serious they are... They are NOT serious.
Generally, I "filter" such articles and scientific (!) stuff in mainstream newspapers.
I would ignore if they said caffeine makes cancer too.
Coffee industry is huge and can sponsor such scientists (!) as well as some "rival" of them (tea?) can sponsor opposite.
E.g., the never ending urban legend that artificial sugars cause cancer was triggered by a real (!) scientific survey but it turned out to be they overdosed those poor lab rats.
You are fairly new to Apple community. The trick is, there should be no word about security in Mac community.
All systems run fine. All users are reviewing what they grant admin access, there were no finder exploit , intego like companies are "snake oil" sellers.:)
It is not the only reason. If it was the only reason, there would be AMD choice at least for workstations.
Apple made an exclusive agreement with Intel.
Half of the stuff Steve Jobs says are lies.
If Apple didn't become a white box Intel builder, there would be a destop variant of the Cell processor. They have chosen to bitch about PowerPC and remove legit benchmark results from their site emberassing Intel CISC stuff.
They trusted the "cult like" zealotry behind them. They were proven right.

For feedback: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx
I used it and it really "feels native".
ps: I am not a developer.
Those thieves know what they are doing for sure. Stealing iTunes interface labeling it "open source" and relying on Firefox.
So, all geeks will support this.
Open source means stealing peoples work? So, SCOs claims?
Some group of thiefs stole iTunes interface and GUI. Making it opensource does not matter.
Apple actually bought the iTunes interface. Full details at http://www.panic.com/extras/audionstory/ . Good read for all developers.
Here is what Apple PAID FOR http://www.macupdate.com/screenshot.php?id=3714

Yes, if they manage to apply rights based system system wide, something like OS X, it won't be problem.
I mean if they are stealing, steal it completely
Note I had to 'sudo ls -la' to see it even.
(os x 10.4 "tiger")
There are legit ways to advertise on slashdot.
Check http://www.ostg.com/
It will also prevent hundreds of security professionals, system admins reading slashdot to hunt you down if you coded the lame worm or not.
I know you can call it paranoia but submitting a worm story to slashdot promoting your product can make people wonder how far you would go.
Also people concerned about that worm: Update your virus databases and get latest security patches for your OS and IM Application.
I have never seen such shameless product promotion to this date on slashdot.
I suggest Slashdot to revoke that user account. I know it can't be deleted, just change suckers password.

It's even older news with no point for Yahoo mail users having this feature for 5 years or so.

Weird essays showing rivals "bad" by some "xxx and xxx Co."...
I just sense some Microsoft way of doing business. Maybe a first sign?

Right thing to do.
I wonder if google userbase has more money as they can't "dare" to give an option like Yahoo mail plus to their users.
http://mailplus.mail.yahoo.com/
I think Yahoo userbase is richer than Googles. In fact, AOL users can afford that expensive service, no?
There is Earthbrowser on OS X (and win32) for ages. I don't think it is same with Google earth but it is much more educational and fun program.
;)
They now added satellite photos feature so makes it more cool.
It is installed on many schools,universities but doesn't make it "boring". Especially on hurricane season.
Check yourself

There are fully functional Skype and Gizmo clients on Mac in addition to many other solutions available for voice chat.

Yahoo messenger for OS X is a JOKE. It should never have "yahoo" name on it! If you don't know what I speak about, check its versiontracker page and read comments:

"This story has nothing to do with mactel"
When there is IBM and a SORT OF (read zealots) PowerPC story like this happens, you gotta concentrate too much not to think about Mactel.
It is my personal point of view and I am kind of emberassed that whole Mac community became Intel zealots in 1 night.
I wonder that "Ghz" too. Is it Intel Ghz or PowerPC Ghz?
A 1600 Mhz G5 can easily count as 2 Ghz P4 for example.
(Don't tell Mr. Jobs about it)
It is what they name suspicious behaviour.
Simply "heuristics" which every AntiVirus on win32 platform must have.
Recently on OS X Intego announced heuristic analysis (Virusbarrier X4) but I couldn't dare to check it with malicious scripts etc.
