It hasn't been announced yet, but Google Talk is here. There's some information for developers available. 8:54:30 PM    comment () What OS X Could Learn From Windows: Part 2, A Consistent GUI. After Chris Howard’s great piece a couple of weeks ago I thought I’d continue to stir the pot a little and discuss another aspect of the GUI that Windows does better. Yes, I realize, in some circles this is sacrilege. But just because this site is called Apple… [AppleMatters] They don't have to learn that from Windows, they could learn it from the Mac OS. Surely there must be a few people still working at Apple who were there before the NeXT takeover? 8:45:13 PM    comment () Notes and Tips: Apple Security Issues. "If a security flaw was found in 9.2.2 (or 10.1.5, or 10.2.8, for that matter) tomorrow, would Apple release a fix for it?" [MacInTouch] I would be astonished if they did. Apple (as it exists today) has totally abandoned backwards compatibility. 11:45:57 AM    comment () This Is Your Utah Law Enforcement on Drugs. So what news of that Utah rave busted up by 90 military-style SWAT team cops with automatic weapons, helicopters, tear... [Hit and Run] I suspect this hints at the reason behind this action: The awful kicker? Several of the 60 or so people arrested were private security guards, booked on drug possession, because they had searched incoming ravers and confiscated their illegal drugs. The nerve of those rave organizers, not using off-duty police for security! I'm sure they won't make that mistake again. 11:41:43 AM    comment ()
