All those users are part of the UNIX heritage of OS X. They are all normal. Some processes run as their own user for security purposes since you can restrict user accounts to be able to access only a small area on the hard drive. Many things need to run as root to give them higher access...

This might be the way to enable the 64 bit kernel To try to boot x86_64 kernel on Macintosh, edit this file: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist find there: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string></string> and change it to <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=x86_64</string>...

That seems odd that a 64 bit Core 2 Duo laptop won't run the 64 bit kernel. I wonder what the reason for that is.

The new icon happened a while ago but not all computers it seems. My 10.5.7 still has the incandescent bulb icon http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9483222

The first preview of 10.6 was last summer at WWDC. They gave out pre-release copies of an early build and have been seeding it to ADC members for a while. I'm guessing it'll be complete by WWDC this year which is June 8-12.

Well 3.0 will have tethering as long as the cell carriers allow it.

I think OmniObjectMeter used to be hundreds of dollars.

Yes it does but this will include the SDK for the current software that's running on the iPhone which as of now is 2.1

It looks like the NDA will be lifted in a matter of days or less. I will unlock your topic when I have read the new NDA agreement.

That class is covered under the iPhone SDK NDA so we can not talk about this until the NDA is lifted.

Some laptops have the rotating screen that can close and turn the computer into a tablet basically. Those are pretty cool but really only useful if you are an artist or want to write with a stylus. I can't really see myself using it but I wouldn't say no to one if it ever came out from Apple.

Additionally, kABHomeLabel is a type CFStringRef(pointer) and that function takes an integer.

kABHomeLabel is not a supported value to pass to ABMultiValueCreateMutable. See the documentation within XCode and specifically you want to pass in one of these values: Record Property Types These constants identify record property types. #define kABMultiValueMask (1 << 8) enum {...
