    build 4K73 review

    Apple System Profiler launches in... 45 bounces :-( Lotsa frameworks have a GM status !! Interesting frameworks : TheaterMode (what is that ??) SearchKit (maybe a Sherlock kit or a new way of implement it) ... extensions : HeathrowATA (so Heathrow is not a kernel module for AirPort...)

    Rootless X Free on MacOSX

    Ya, I'm with you ! I agree it should be far better if all good UNIX, LINUX apps are ported to cocoa ! However, Linux uses X11, and a rootless X11 is a way to have all Linux stuff to work on Mac OS X (with a Linux emulation (wrapper Linux/BSD)) If this works, all that is Linux can works...

    Rootless X Free on MacOSX

    That is a really good advance, but the true revolution and optimisation is : a XWindow wrapper to Quartz calls (buffering, hardware optimization, OpenGL, etc...) When a XWindow Window has to be opened, it should be a real Quartz window, not a WindowManager under XWindow... All graphics...

    Netscape for X?

    Hobeaux, I had a problem with OmniWeb beta 4. I weren't able to launch it, I had the startup splash screen, then nothing. I had reinstalled MacOS X PB and POOF, all worked !! I think your PB install is corrupted, moreover it's not normal than you can't move anything to the Application...

    Netscape for X?

    Oh, and Netscape sucks... I don't like to admit it, but it is true. I prefered NS in the past, because it was better than IE, but NS was going crappier and crappier. I can't understand why they were shouting themselves like this ! AOL... I am using iCab, because I boycott Microsoft. IE 5...

    Netscape for X?

    OmniWeb rocks ! It is ALSO a BETA, it is cocoa, fast, inituitive and powerful. Moreover it handles Unicodes like no other WB can do. For thoses who are not able to use it, please wait for MacOS X final, and the first OmniWeb version to support it officialy. Thx...

    apple hardware ship times

    and Apple have to correct this. Apple must regain credibility. This is a critical time for them, now ! MacOS X is a great deal, so important !! And it is now ! Incoming hardware is important, and is is now that Apple have to move things (Motorola, research, drop fabrication prices, etc...)...

    Any news on the G4/G5 progress ?

    One more thing for MWNY HW : USB-2 on every computers (to be competitive with Wintels one) and of course a faster FireWire 800 Mb/sec ! And I have forget iBooks ! Larger screen, more memory and connectivity. A killer mouse that can be one or two (or three?) buttons, maybe a wireless...

    Any news on the G4/G5 progress ?

    This is so true Zach... :-( boult, that's right that G4 have better performance than Pentiums at the same speed, and it is true that there is a MHz myth. However, a G4 733 can't do as many tasks as a P III @ 1+ GHz... Except of course Altivec specific tasks, as Zach said. One solution is...

    Any news on the G4/G5 progress ?

    MOSR, AppleInsider and ThinkSecret are not focusing on processors news theses times. Apple has launched 733 G4 PowerMacs, and it is a good move, but is is only 233 MHz + in more than a year !! Motorola research team rocks since G4 is a better µP than any Pentium or AMD, but Moto production...

    Divx

    DivX sucks since it is implemented on the non-standard Micro$oft MPEG-4 implementation. 3ivX is a great move since it is based on the standard ISO MPEG-4... Moreover, results of 3ivX are already very good, and 3ivX is fully QuickTime compatible !

    New Builds on Carracho

    It is not easy, and it is the price to pay when we are looking for 'hacked and illegal internal builds'. Just be patient, check servers, talk to users... I hope you have a good connection speed... Good luck !

    OS X Preorder and language

    I am living in Québec, and I have just called the AppleStore to preorder MacOS X. I had the choice between French version OR English version... These two languages are not together in one final version... Interesting... Maybe they doesn't have sufficient space to put all basic languages in...
