    Busted!

    According to them. We don't know if apple was ever going to charge $50 for the update to all 3 apps. All we know is that thinksecret and some others got ahold of some rumors that said they were. And as it turns out they are charging $50 dollars for a box that contains 4 iApps, but you can...

    Busted!

    Sounds more like thinksecret is trying to cover their butt and not look like they missed the mark by such a large margin.

    Hotmail Works in Safari (Screenshot & How-To)

    I suspected such was the problem, but then again, I basically only use my hotmail account as a spam bucket so I haven't tried to play with the options and things enough to fix it yet. Thanks for the tip.

    Let's all click the Bug-Button

    While they do not invalidate the premise of a windowing system, tabbed browseing seems like a bad UI convention. Mainly because tabs, to me atleast, should be used to show different views, or different controls for the same data. Like in your System Prefs example, the different items are...

    TiVo Integration w/ Macs

    That gives the impression that, although Job's didn't say it in the Keynote, iTunes will beable to do the Rendezvous playlist/music sharing in the upcomeing update. Very cool.

    Keynote vs. Powerpoint

    Like Jobs said, this was an App that was developed for him. They simply added some polish and released it. It looks like a pretty awsome app, but the one down side I see is that if you want it to display with all those cool features, you will have to use it on a Mac. I'm pretty sure that...

    Let's all click the Bug-Button

    Damn I need to get off work so I can try Safari. I don't mind tabs not being there, as I don't used them in the browsers that have them, but damn I hate Brushed Metal. Well if the browser doesn't suck I can put up with it.

    Apple distributes X Window system for OS X?

    From the reports I have, its quite a bit faster. X11R6.6 (what Apples X11 product is, as well as XFree 4.2.1) is a graphics server and network protocol. Basically it servers the same function, roughly, as Quartz does; it draws things to the screen. X11 is much more than that though...

    The Self programming language

    One that was under development at the labs, its now on life support but hasn't had any new features or major updates for aproximately 5 years. So basically, the tech for the vm and the the GUI have gone into other products, and now the language is offered mostly as a teaching tool/research...

    Looking for help with our IRC client

    What is the project name, by the way? I don't know if I will have time to contribute any, but I would like to take a look at it and maybe contribute.

    Make a folder invisible?

    Its a much better idea to just add the invisible flag to the file if you are on HFS+, as moving the directory to a unix style hidden dir will break things if its even remotely used by the system. % /Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V mydir Asuming you have the developer tools installed

    Apple to go x86 for sure. Got proof.

    It's not even a educated assumption really, its simply an opinion. From all reports these iApps will still come bundled with the new macs, its just the upgrades you will have to pay for. And as I recall some of these apps used to be semi-comercial in the past, and for them this is simply a...

    Copying a DVD movie

    I was able to make copies of my iDVD made DVD's using disc copy. Just use the Make image from device, select the dvd drive, and then tell it the image is a CD/DVD master and give it a name. Then you can use Disc copy's Burn Image function to make discs out of it.

    The Self programming language

    Its not a really active project at Sun anymore from what I can find on their site. It looks like they took some of the VM technology from it for Java's HotSpot and the GUI seems to have gone to Squeek. Sounds like a very interesting language though.

    Strange keymapping for curly braces

    I assume you are using a non-english keyboard for this? Because what you are describing doesn't make much sense on a US-English keyboard.

    problems with CLI apps after upgrading to 10.2

    Did you rebuild the apps after you installed 10.2? When I installed 10.2 (using the backup/install method provided by the installer) I had this problem because the installer didn't save any of my unix land stuff. I still had all the tarballs so I just when into each and did a 'make clean' and...

    Spyware?

    LimeWire had/has some spyware on its free version for windows. The Linux and Mac versions were safe though, atleast last time I checked.

    C or C++

    Every Obj-C book I have read so far assumes a working knoledge of C, so you should probably learn C first if you want to go down that road. C as a language is pretty easy, the ANSI C library though will take you a while to learn.

    Help using grep to search for a text string

    You really want to search your whole system for a certain string? Its not really recomended (try to narrow the search field if you can), but you can do it like this: $ grep -r "your string here" / The '-r' makes grep recurse down the directory tree.
