Funny. Now people go psycho over MS's use of the VISE installer. But when Microsoft was about the only software developer on the Mac promoting drag-and-drop installs, no one said anything positive. Grow up people. I'm sorry, but... grow up.

Like it was pointed out earlier in this thread, this is not a matter of competition. The Mozilla project is about making a standards-compliant web user agent (Gecko) available on as many platforms as possible, applied in as many ways as possible. Chimera is not available for anything but OS...

I think the "maybe some people just don't see it" theory is naive and borderline offensive. It's not faint enough to be truly hard to spot on a light background (such as the gray striped Aqua window background). That my cursor is completely unchanged from 10.1 is a fact. I am certain this is...

Mail, Chimera, NetNewsWire, Watson, iTunes, Preview. Those are the persistent ones. I use MaxMenus for launching various other apps.

For sake of clarification, the mouse shadow is not: - A Quartz Extreme feature, - A G4 feature, - A 32 MB VRAM feature. I have a G4 with two displays, both are QE accelerated (I did the PCI QE hack for the secondary), both have more than 32 MB VRAM and neither monitor displays the mouse...

Services work in all Cocoa applications that use the standard NS object classes (NextStep objects), and all Carbon applications that explicitly tell the OS that the application can support services. I'm working on a Carbon-based inline calculator app that makes full use of Services, for example.

Think again. My reports are based on experiences with a pair of brand-spanking-new Diamondtron flat CRTs. The shadow just isn't there. The shadowed cursor and the traditional cursor are two completely different entities. The shadowed one has a sharper appearance thanks to two added white...

Yes, you can have a mouse shadow without QE, but it's a lot more likely that one has QE without a mouse shadow. New computers can easily have QE without having the mouse shadow. The shadow is completely unrelated to graphics card age, amount of VRAM or even Quartz Extreme. The mouse shadow...

For the record, the mouse shadow has absolutely nothing to do with Quartz Extreme. Seems like it has more to do with what kind of mouse cursors the video card supports. I am not seeing the shadow on either of my QE-enabled monitors. Quartz Extreme Checker tells me both displays are...

Blame yourself, then.

The happy mac hasn't been in the firmware since the days of the 5500 series. It was moved into the "Mac OS ROM" file living inside the OS 9 system folder a long while back. And now it's been changed. The end.

In OS 9, the bootup screen lives as a .cpp file (C++ file) embedded into the file named "Mac OS ROM", at the root of the System Folder. (I haven't been able to locate it on OS X.) So it's not in the firmware, it's in the software. It was moved there after Apple cleaned up the PPC machine ROM and...

AppleWorks. Cheap, efficient, enough for almost everyone. And it's Apple.

QE supports 16 MB cards and above, according to Apple specs. It's listed as a requirement. Sure, it may work on lesser cards, but it's not supported. 'Ey, what's with the state flag of Finland as your av? :eek:

I'm an interface designer so I've really taken my time with Aqua and thought about ways to improve it. So here's a few concepts I've designed over the past year during my time with OS X. I want a Dock that's customizable similarly to Cocoa toolbars. You could context-click the Dock and say...

Yeah, it was pretty bad in OS 9, since string files controlling languages was pure utopia, of course, as OS 9 language stuff is usually hard-coded. Some US English updates or apps would completely refuse to install onto international systems, sometimes for no apparent technical reason...

Ugh. He said "join the ADC mailing". Which is absolutely correct. You first have to be a member (any kind will do, even free online member). Then, go to the ADC shop and subscribe to the mailing. Something previous posters have failed to mention: It's a yearly fee. If one for-pay update comes...

That's where you're wrong, seeing as Apple is clearly doing it ;) Also, the concept of "iTools Pro" (now dubbed .Mac) has been under development at Apple since the iTools suite of tools came out. They will only charge for advanced services. The e-mail addresses (Mac.com), for instance, will not...

You know what's really funny about this "security issue"? It also applies to any other HTTP download operation you might perform. It's not like Software Update is the only application of the HTTP protocol that can be spoofed. I was, like, "yes, and?" when they reported this. Of course, things...

That would be Chimera, then. Chimera at MozDev. Forget Omni.
