Mark Lemmons of Creo points out that there is an OS X version of Six Degrees. That's fine, but OS X is not the Mac OS--attempts by Apple to confuse customers notwithstanding. I dislike OS X tremendously, and I would rather use the Windows version if Windows and OS X are the only choices.

Scientists fight research controls. Opposition is building to UK Government plans to widen control of
science subjects deemed too sensitive to research and teach. [BBC News: sci/tech]

[AP World News]
