Brent wrote up a description of how Radio 8.0 is a Mac OS X app. Not being a X user myself, I found it quite illuminating. He says "OS X's Services menu allows applications to work together. At this writing, very few shipping Carbon apps support the Services menu. Radio is one of those few." Nice! [Scripting News]

Looking at the screenshots last night, I was in awe. OS X is really beautiful. I've been using it almost exclusively for months but the screenshots here really drove it home. And it's clear from Brent's write up that he got a lot of pleasure from making Radio as beautiful and powerful as it could be. I'm really excited about getting Radio 8.0 running on my machine. After that I'll probably disable "boot into Classic on login".

Thestar.com/Parents threaten to close filthy Toronto schools The Toronto Parent Network is giving the Toronto District School Board and the cost-cutting Ontario government six weeks to clean up hundreds of schools or it will call in health and fire officials who have authority to shut down dirty, dangerous buildings.

Canada could signal U.S. recovery. Chicago Tribune Jan 9 2002 11:04AM ET [Canada news]
Well isn't that special?!

Apple discloses record-breaking webcast stats [MacNN]
I was one of the 81, 000 people watching. And this was just on the web. Doug watched it at home on tech tv

MS rigs ZD reader poll to promote .NET. How desperate and sad [The Register]
These guys are the scum of the earth. They do this sort of thing all the time. Financing "grass roots" campaigns. Exaggerating XP sales figures. Comissioning studies to show Windows is cheaper than Linux (which is free!!)

Copy-protected CDs to support Macs [MacNN]
They don't give a timeframe. I'd rather they didn't work on Macs. The copy-protected CDs violate the Red Book specification and therefor should not be manufactured in the first place. The industry needs to find another solultion.

The Many Futures of Music, Maybe One of Them Real Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, the senior Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, spoke to the meeting on Tuesday morning. "Technology is forcing the record labels and the artists and the writers and the composers to come together," he said. "The Internet says to the industry that you folks are yesterday's news, you're following outdated models, your business strategies don't work anymore, and your profit motive is showing rather vulgarly."

Well said. The vulgarity, however, is only coming from a few of the biggest pleayers.

Freeware icon collection: World of Aqua 3 [MacNN]
These folks make beautiful icons. I'm using the earlier ones and am downloading the newer ones now.
