Adam Atlas, a brilliant young hacker, has joined the staff of MacMegasite. I met Adam at MacHack and was very impressed by his skill. His hack, an RSS news reader, took first place in the "yoot" division and second place overall. I think he has a lot to offer MacMegasite. 10:37:47 PM    Comments []

Weird... calling FSFindFolder( kLocalDomain, kSystemPreferencesFolderType, ... returns /Library/PreferencePanes under both 10.1.5 and 10.2 although it properly returns /BlueAndWhite/System Folder/Preferences running under classic. It's supposed to return the system-wide preferences, NOT the preference panes. 2:54:24 PM    Comments []
