Those French weren't very original when naming peninsulas, I guess.

Try some Windex! It'll go faster too!

Apple needs to sign (as in public key, digital signatures) all their updates. No way to spoof that (without real super-computer power). Let's see... this would require a new version of Software Update which would check the signature after downloa…

My QPS USB Que! Drive still does not work in OS X. Even with the "working" driver installed.

Yesterday I switched from Chimera to Mozilla. Chimera has some annoying problems and would crash a lot. With Silk, Mozilla is basically Chimera on steroids.

[quote]Originally posted by Dead Member: You don't need the window server to do that. Yeah, ok, not the window server. But you do need Quartz and Aqua (at least), right? I'm not saying it's bad (read what I wrote). I like it. I was simply cur…

I wonder how they did it. If the kernel panics, how do you know the window server can still present an interface for a restart? The text spewing colonel (or even a BSOD) is easy, but an Aquafied window? I'm glad they did it, though. Those pani…
