I won't install that geek fantasy not even having installer and coded by people who has no clue about os x shipping 6 different languages in different install images.
Does it prebind even? Did some geeks cared enough to put symbols to file header to launch fast via OS X prebinding? I remember they didn't on Windows XP which has similar system.
Does Firefox even have a installer on Windows XP? Aka MSI installer? No? Why? Since its MS evil thing? Oh, wake up you run on that OS!
Forgot to ask, do mozilla "fan" guys still gline people from irc.mozilla.org, for criticizing Mozilla?
Anyways, the fan system control by kernel does one thing. Processor heat rise is predicted so to keep system low sound, when processor hits 100% by load, for slight time, that B52 full speed starts. Processor gets "advantage" cooling than it gets back to normal. So, you don'T have to hear a fan fighting to get stable cpu speed.
Its called "predictive cooling" or something.
Of course, irrelevant on monsters like 4:2:2 to mpeg2 conversion or protools.
"The reason there is NO news this time is because of the backlash they got the previous two attempts.
You make yourself out to be a lackey not a customer."
Yes, I agree. They alerted mac community about a real and potential threat about something exists in Finder, default window manager/explorer for os x and they were called to be "thieves", "snake oil sellers"
FYI, mac.com which all mac fan(atics) love is the first to offer Virex by subscription.
I somehow believe some, not all happens because they are a french company.
As lackey, will renew firewall license at least. Thank you.
Its months if not weeks away someone will code a virus for os x seeing how ignorant mac fanatics are and how they shoot messenger.
For God's sake, this is a long ways to go to find something to be paranoid about.
Whether or not Gator intended this, I take great pause at knowing any e-mail I write or read on a PC with Gator Desktop Search could be called up and read by a complete stranger.
This application is intended for single user machines which pretty much limits it, in most cases, to home machines. I don't have complete strangers roaming around my house so it is not an issue for me.
Mayer dismissed my concern that this is a security issue. She points out that you can configure Gator Desktop Search not to index Web pages or specific domains. That would prevent Gator Desktop Search from indexing and caching the URL "mail.yahoo.com".
So what part of that did the reporter not understand? Finally, this is not mandatory software. A user has to hunt it down, download it, and install it. So don't use it if it is a problem for your computer. Now, I am not trying to be a jerk and some of this is said with tongue planted firmly in cheek. Still, you gotta wonder why people need to find things to be upset about. I am not sure why this irks me so much, maybe I should drink less coffee.....
From pure end user view who used Linux for 1 year on his x86...
I guess gnome and kde to blame.
I used windowmaker as default for 1 year but desktop inconsistency made me mad. Run a gnome app (gtk, whatever) you get gnome widgets, run a qt app (read:kde), you get KDE app..
Now I use OS X on my G5, back to NexT environment which is real unique just like poor old OS/2 workspace...
Nagra was too much cracked so especially digital package companies (like Digiturk etc) turned to Philips Cryptoworks even ordering their own box. Smartcard+Modem combination makes it evil to crack.:)
I am not an admin or developer so don't know the rights issue but when I see only 2 files or directories having full rights and its belonging to ME looked real bad to me.
I tried to point out that , being insecure became corporate culture of Microsoft, even somehow "infected" their mac development offices which I have real respect to.
As some people modded my post troll, I didn't even mention that Windows Media 9 was the ONLY plugin which can entirely freeze a browser. Even microsoft's own internet explorer.
As a mac user I should have little concern about how secure/insecure a microsoft browser should be but just yesterday, in Istanbul, a Taxi driver spoke about how adware took over his sons PC and asked me how to get rid of it, I gave Lavasoft (ad aware) URL to his notebook.

I tell you one interesting thing. While it was working back in 2003, I updated a 68030 Mac Duo laptop 7.6's modem driver from Apple site. I even had support about how to add more ram. That machine is back from 1994 or something.
OS X updates aren't service packs, they are new OS'es. 10.3.0 is a new OS , 10.3.1 is a service pack.
About antivirus and anti adware? As its a BSD based real OS, its run by rights. As its a pain in the ass to code a spyware on linux, its much more harder on OS X. Guess why? OS X shows a user friendly window which is centralized by OS GUI whenever a program needs administrative access.
Oh there is a program on OS X, comes with it and has a unsolved security problem. Yes, it still exists. Guess what is it? INTERNET EXPLORER macintosh edition.
If you would steal a car, would it be Toyota or BMW? I mean, if I was a haxor trying to steal someones CC, it would be $3000 dual G5 owner rather than $500 Taiwan OEM owner.
Or... Something real interesting showed up when I check my Internet Plugins folder (Yes, mac IE even uses Netscape plugin arch)
Clear example. Billionton bluetooth adapter. We fought to install it to my bros XP for CLEAR 1 day. It has a "hack like" installing for XP. Next 2 days passed with installing and making damn Nokia software work. For what? To Sync contacts, upload pictures to PC.
On Mac G5, guess what I did to achieve all? Insert the dongle to my keyboard usb!
I am also _not_ sure if OS X can do all those cool tricks on x86. We are speaking about a vector capable 64bit RISC cpu and years old CISC structure which still tries to emulate 8086.
Slashdot Mirror
I'd buy Opera instead of those 2 or use ad version.
Not spyware too.
Using Omniweb on Mac since its more native to OS X.
and imagine, post got TROLL point. double trolls at least.
It seems like a real bug.
Mozilla fanatics, get a life and ask yourself why AOL dumped you!
Or even why JWZ dumped you.
"How is this flamebait?! He's responding to flamebait with objective facts."
Things like this happens on Mozilla related stories sorry.
When a story posted about mozilla, all those fanatics popup and use their mod points.
I am glad I paid $30 for Omniweb for OS X...

"2) What is the bandwidth on Bluetooth? Could you get decent sound out of that?"
Thats what people doesn't understand. I think the amount of data used in syncing phones etc tricks people.
Bluetooth is designed to be reliable,small,cheap. NOT fast.
I can tell as I transfer lots of Symbian stuff to my Nokia 7650, max: 20kb/sec.
Bluetooth 2 stuff started to appear (Siemens SL65 etc) and they don't tell about speed yet speaking about 802.11 compatability.
poor me with 1600mhz G5...

If you remember lamers coding viruses are already slashdot reading geeks...
And if you remember companies like Intego alerting about potential vulnerabilities called "french thieves", "snake oil sellers".
It will be real soon we see a real OS X virus.
If I was a virus coding lamer, I'd target os x first. "The invincible OS (!) got infected", imagine the lamer brag value of it...
Anyways, OS X is a supero OS, people paying $2000+ to G5'es and giving up PC are stupid to expect viruses etc.

I am an Intego customer. No news about this new potential virus/trojan whatever yet. No updates either (yet) ( http://www.intego.com/home.asp )
Now you are spreading fud about "FRENCH" company or not?
I will continue to use their software since its user friendly, os x native and have good customer support.
Maybe just netbarrier but I am happy with their products.
Thank god it will be released at 2005 at least...
I recently bought Sims and vacation expansion lol..
If you have nv5200 like me, on G5 mac desktop you won't need to upgrade for long time.
:P
At least no game company will dare to leave you in cold.
Why? iMac G5 comes with nv5200
besides, I liked the performance and especially colour quality of this card on CRT 19"

Aka no Start menu for Gods sake...
I know lots of people designing their own .nib files on OS X and using them as replacing the original .nib files.
I don't know how it becomes "hard" while end users (not developers) does use nib editors.
Nagra was too much cracked so especially digital package companies (like Digiturk etc) turned to Philips Cryptoworks even ordering their own box. Smartcard+Modem combination makes it evil to crack. :)
In fact DVB is never used alone for 'pay tv', its always cryptoworks (Philips) and OpenTV (http://www.opentv.org) involved.
not to mention about some of their people on board being Ex NSA people.
I really wonder if some linux/bsd/opensource using company invents a chemical weapon and geeks love to smell it...
I really wonder...
Spies on peoples own desktops openly.

Even Copernic founder guy bitched about it.

Independence day's UFO, mastership was hacked over a OS 9 running Mac laptop.
IT WAS A JOKE! THE MOVIE WAS A JOKE ITSELF!
I really feel ashamed to explain that joke if not all my posts "gangbanged" by known lamers from irc.xchat.org
Yes, you still suck guys!
long live metamoderators, thats all I have to say...
Thanks for explaining my concerns.

Yes, situation is really, really critical.
We know they use OS 9. Didn't watch independence day? ;)
sorry if I made you remember a bad memory lol

Microsoft!
While at it, if you don't have "spyware" concerns, as a admin user, go to www.pcpitstop.com (in fact, they aren'T spying) and run their tests...
See the amazing things ActiveX can do! Thats the root of problem.
I don't understand all this Driver talk you have.
Clear example. Billionton bluetooth adapter. We fought to install it to my bros XP for CLEAR 1 day. It has a "hack like" installing for XP. Next 2 days passed with installing and making damn Nokia software work. For what? To Sync contacts, upload pictures to PC.
On Mac G5, guess what I did to achieve all? Insert the dongle to my keyboard usb!
