Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows if Leopard will be the pre-installed OS on all Macs bought through the online store after October 26th... I'm waiting for Leopard to buy one of those shiny new iMacs but I don't feel like buying it and then having to reinstall the OS a week later ...

I'm not 100% sure about it but I think Nokia is the biggest cell phone producer which means that Apple would be in an alliance with the biggest player in the cell phone business.. This can only be a good thing since it could get alot of exposure... I think that the Nokia phone will be less...

Cool, looks like another cell phone company is getting Apple expertise: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/06/21/nokia_apple_browser_analysis/ I'm still waiting for the Motorola iTunes phone... what ever happened to that ?

I wasn't infering that it was a crimal offense, I am simply stating that if your a developper and you release a product, its your responsability to make sure it doesn't infringe on any patents if not you could get sued. This is the part that I don't agree with ( your #2 ). Regardless of...

I don't think so, The whole point of patenting something is that you have exclusive rights to your invention for a defined period of time (depending on your country's laws..). Its not your responsability to make sure that no one infringes on your patent... its the responsability of others to...

If you read the patent, its quite obvious that iTunes is in violation of this patent.. The question is, how can something like that be patentable ? The patent is about having an interface where a user can chose from different categories, artists, album,etc to narrow the choice of song. In...

I'm certain that most people aren't illusioning themselves that Classic will be in OSX forever. I mean it was a transitional tool so that developpers had more time to port their app to OSX and also not piss off people that just bought software ABC for OS9... I think with OSX in its 5th...

check out DOSBOX (http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1) I've been using it to play old DOS xwing games... Actually it might even run on mac...(I mean it runs on other *nix systems... so OSX should be possible...) Perhaps someone will start a project like DOSBOX. I mean...

I just read an article on appleinsider that state that the Intel Mac that Steve demoed on was a quad CPU 3.6 P4.... Thats alot of machine to run OSX on.... I wonder if its any indication of how well (or bad) performance will be on these yet to be released macs...

:( Its official. Start recompiling.

There is no OSX server, the LDAP is running off a Linux host. The eMacs are just using LDAP for authentication and some non mac specific account management (uid,home directory, default shell, etc.) I just need to know what files need to be modified so that I can apply the changes to the 30...

Hi, I've configured one of our eMacs to work within our environment. The Mac is running OSX 10.2 (client). I would like to be able to configure the rest of the 30+ machines through SSH. I'm a Unix Admin / Developer so I'm used to writing scripts to do this kind of work. Unfortunatly, I...

My opinions are based on years of study and reinforced by basic statistics. Given: OS A and B have N vulnerabilities OS A has 100 evil hackers trying to find bugs. OS B has 10 evil hackers trying to find bugs. Basic stats suggest that there is a higher probability that vulnerabilities...

As I mentioned before, the strength of Apple's os is that damage is usually limited to the permissions of the user. In normal cases that user isn't "root" on Unix or "Administrator" on Windows... therefore the damage is contained to your directories / files.. As for the FW... I don't know...

The way I see it, its easier to attack a large user base (even if they are poor) rather than try and attack a small user base. Its kinda like spam.. .. if you have ever read any of the messages before deleting them you tend to think "Who would buy this stuff"... well if the spammer sends 100...
