Is it possible to create a symlink that uses a relative path instead of an absolute one?

I just posted this over on MacRumors, but I'll post here for discussion. Here's how I understand it: First: Macs use EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface), which is open source. EFI is the modern replacement for BIOS. EFI does support legacy BIOS, however it's up to the distributor (Apple) to...

Microsoft is now distributing Flip4Mac's WMV QuickTime components for free! Previously shareware, Flip4Mac's WMV software makes WMV and WMA playback on the Mac transparent. This is huge news! http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/flip4mac.mspx

Available in Software Update. - iTunes is now a Universal Binary - Includes the "MiniStore" (Edit > Hide MiniStore to turn it off) Not sure what else is new though.

Apple's new Intel ad. Check it out http://www.apple.com/intel/ads/

drool here Things to note: - dual core! Prices: $2000 and $2500 - 15" only - new magnetic power connector so if it gets yanked, it comes off loosely instead of taking your computer with it - built-in iSight - FrontRow and remote - modem not built-in (sold separately) - serial ATA - one FW 400...

link An interesting new thing from REAL Software. I wonder if the actual IDE will be reworked in Cocoa?

I'm testing my iPod, and noticed when disk mode is disabled, and you connect your iPod to your computer with iTunes not open, the iPod is setup as if disk mode is enabled. But with iTunes open, it behaves fine. It's as if the settings for disk mode being off only apply when iTunes is open...

I'm trying to compile some code in cygwin in Windows, and it's trying to include <ar.h>. This header exists at /usr/include/ but GCC doesn't see it, it just says I tested the exact same code on my Mac and it worked fine: Is there something I have to do in GCC or somewhere else to let it know...

OK I think my shuffle's USB connection is dead. When I connect it to my Mac, my PC or another PC, it won't connect. But just the other day it was working fine on my Mac! The shuffle works fine and plays music like normal, but I can't connect it to any computer :( I tried resetting it, but I'm...

From ZENcast.com (via digg.com): Hilarious!

I'm extremely bored right now and am downloading Ubuntu 5.1 Live CD (for PPC) and was wondering for those of you who use Linux and Mac OS X: Why do you use Linux if you have Mac OS X? What applications do you run in Linux that you can't (or do not want to?) run in OS X? Also, do you run...

If I compile a C# .NET console application on my PC, will it run without changes on my Mac with Mono installed? Or how about the opposite - if I compile a console app in Mono on my Mac, will it run in Windows without changes? (I could experiment but I'm lazy :p)

How about adding iTunes to the "iPod Crowd" forum? The iPod and iTunes are one and the same virtually now.. it would make sense to put them together under the same topic. What do you think? :)

I have an old PowerMac G3 I use for software testing running 10.3.9. Yesterday I was downloading/installing some security update, and the power went out. Today was the first time I went to turn it back on, and nothing happens at all when I push the power button :(. I tried a few different...

Cocoa on Windows Now the whole concept of "Universal Binaries" is much clearer! We also need a French translator for the link in the article (fryke?) :)

Here's the deal. If Apple releases a dual core x86 PowerBook next year that dual boots with XP/Vista without issues, I will seriously consider selling my PM G5 and my PC for it. I used to use my PC for gaming (bought a $400 GPU for it), but I've really only been playing one game on it, and...

I'm trying to compile mimetic, a C++ library for extracting MIME info out of emails and such. But I get the following errors (it looks like this is where it starts): ld: warning multiple definitions of symbol ___eprintf /usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.1/libgcc.a(_eprintf.o) private...
