    iPhone/iPod touch SDK

    because not much about the iPhone was really ready in june, the time consuming stuff like localization, the development platform, the 3G, the Wifi Music Store, the Youtube bit (safari can't view flash on the iPhone, which cripples it seeing as youtube is one of the most popular websites in the...

    What do you wish Leopard would have?

    also, i realised today while reading even more people bitching about Leopard not supporting macs made 4 years ago, Tiger was the same. it dropped support for Firewire-less macs, which included the 2001 clamshell ibooks up to 366mhz. 4 years later tiger was released and it wasn't supported...

    What do you wish Leopard would have?

    there's 15 big changes. the 285 other changes are the most significant though: they're the fixes and little additions and tweaks that build OSX to be more mature. 10.0 and 10.1 had no little tweaks. it was lacking. it's only over time that you start to realise the details. other than...

    10.5: clean, archive or upgrade?

    he's right. the default, and obviously preferred way, is upgrade. you have to want a clean/archive and specify it.

    Free upgrade to 10.5

    yeah, but those dates of the program coincided with the announcement of Tiger, Apple officially announced the release date of Tiger 2 weeks before Leopard, and that program basically said 'if you bought a mac between announcment and release, you can get it free. i would be surprised if apple...

    System Size

    my guess: big. probably nearly 4 times the size of a tiger install. it's got to be all 4-way 'fat' binaries (32 bit PPC, 64 bit PPC, 32 bit Intel, 64 bit Intel), which only make things bigger...

    M$ releases new Zunes

    i'm also in that boat, but it's not so much customer care, more just the growing arrogance of apple/steve jobs. 5 years of near constant praise is not good for the ego. they reportedly demanded 40% of the revenue from iPhone monthly contracts, and 02 were the only company in britain not to...

    M$ releases new Zunes

    I'm not sure you remember how fast your G5 is, or how slow 800 mhz is... even a 1.6ghz G5 is a hell of a lot faster than an 800mhz G4. anything under 1ghz is difficult for many things these days, whereas my 1.8ghz G5 is still pretty damn fast. to the point where i couldn't justify replacing it...

    Leopard - 1 week to go?

    proof of modernisation. being as leopard will save an instance of every file in every state ever, presumably, on the fly, while also making live previews of all of these files, while also allowing the graphical impressiveness of supposed core animation possiblities, it's showing hallmarks of a...
