First of all, just for disclosure, I own a MacBook Pro since Feb 2009, and have owned an iMac and MacMini, so it's safe to say that I'm not anti-Apple. If I was, I sure as hell wouldn't use OS X as my primary OS. Also, let me disclose that I'm …

Microsoft has more programming resources than Apple than are arguably just as skilled. In theory, Microsoft could develop far better operating systems and software than Apple. There's one very important reason why they don't, and it's the same p…

Then please explain to me why Apple has still not fixed a *severe* Java security flaw that was fixed by Sun over *five months ago* that would allow anybody to have complete control of my machine (they don't need the admin password to do this). He…

I have to admit that while the tabs on top looked smooth and were obvious to see and use on OS X (alternating light grey and dark grey tabs), they were difficult to see and use in the Windows version because the taskbar is only one colour. Whil…

Apple must have reason to believe or fear that Oracle will GPL ZFS once they takeover Sun in order to add it to the Linux kernel. Apple has traditionally avoided integrating GPL code wherever possible, which is probably the #1 reason they chose to …

Is the Finder now 100% Cocoa, or just partially Cocoa? I read different opinions on this.

Apple has demonstrated a total lack of responsibility in keep OS X Java updated and secure. They should immediately start transferring responsibility for Java to Sun and the Java community, since they are unable and unwilling to devote the resource…

I've been a satisfied MacBook Pro owner for several months now (having used a MacMini and iMac before). Once in a while, I peruse the PC notebook section. The lousy trackpads alone put me off from every buying a PC notebook. I prefer the MacBoo…

First of all, Java and JavaScript are two entirely different things. The first is a runtime and programming and language developed by Sun Microsystems that commonly runs on servers but also on desktop applications and within Applets. It's not par…
