I would love to see someone grab a copy of XBench and get it built under Intel so we can really compare its performance. Any takers?

Does OSX have anything similar to hcitool? hcitool can be use for, among other things, detecting bluetooth devices in proximity. I'd love to code up a widget around something like that, if it exists.

Since Apple's market share is so small (at least in computing), they are forced to rely on repeat customers upgrading systems. It's a quite simple solution really if you want to keep the PowerPC: get a large enough group of people to boycott the new Intel-based Macs to drive sales down. You've...

I looked around and didn't see any invitation from Apple to report vulnerabilities, so for now I guess I'll post here and leave it to someone with a paid developer's account to tell them. Date: May 19, 2005 Description: OSX 10.4 Dashboard Permits Hijacking of Authenticated Credentials...

I'm somewhat unfamiliar with how OSX deals with memory. In most *nixes, when an application exits, the entire process image (including all allocated memory) are unlinked completely and returned back to the operating system. I've noticed OSX seems to act more like windows, however, and when you...

I noticed some of Apple's own scripts don't work. For example, "Get Source of Selected Message.scpt" This line doesn't appear to be evaling to true when there are messages selected: on perform mail action with messages theSelectedMessages Anyone running into similar scripting issues?

I'm not sure why everyone's so scared about this whole widget auto-install problem. It's not as if it's very hard to disable; just uncheck "Open Safe Files after Downloading" in Safari's preferences, and it won't attempt to install the Widget. Is this not public knowledge?

I'm curious if anyone's come up with a good approach to shutting down all noncritical services (quickly) to start up a rather large game (such as UT 2k4). Rebooting will only get you so far. I'd like to be able to: - Flush all inactive memory - Shut down all noncritical services, such as...

Does anyone know the "Proper" way to move over the commandline java to 1.5? The little java preferences tool only affects opening a java applet in a browser, but I need java 1.5 to be the default from the commandline. I tried repointing...

I fired up Quartz Debugger and saw that Quartz Extreme was enabled, but Quartz 2D extreme was disabled. Is there a reason for this? I'm running a 1.67Ghz Powerbook G4, and wasn't sure what enabling this will do for (or to) me. jonathan

A couple caveats, just wanted to see if others can confirm and/or have found new bugs. 1. The mac cursor now appears at the intro screen and remains in the center of the screen throughout the duration of gameplay. The only workaround I've found is to toggle between fullscreen and windowed...
