Record breaking Jaguar sales [MacCentral] Perhaps the Apple estimate of 5 million Mac OS X users by the end of this year is not so impossible. However, the first weekend is more a measure of the current hype than of future sales.

Mozilla 1.1 and MathML -- Comment()
Mozilla v1.1. - Mozilla is a scriptable, open-source web browser, designed for standards compliance, performance and portability. [release notes] [AppleScript Info] The update also adds Quartz Extreme optimization for those running machines that support it, as well as MathML support, better Web standards support, and a host of other enhancements.[Mac Net Journal] I have to check the MathML support in this new version. The previous versions have been rather unreliable in rendering even simple math with MathML.

Jaguar is a nice animal -- Comment()
Yesterday I finished my first piece on Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). The system works well, although there were a couple of typos in the Finnish version. All the software I have so far tried seems to work without problems, except the new Matlab, which won't start.

Watson vs. Sherlock, round two -- Comment()
iMicrosoft?. Apple's iApps don't replace anything. Third-party software has to be good enough to replace the iApps, not the other way around. (Slashdot via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu] On the other hand, a small developer might think twice about developing a cool new tool, if the developer of the operating system has the habit copying the cool new tools, instead of making it easier for developers to develop those tools and integrate them with the system.

Problem with iBook: the delete key broke off -- Comment()
The delete key on my white iBook has come off. This is really annoying. The thin plastic fasteners on the key seem to be broken. I have to get the iBook repaired, although I hate to be without it. The iBook is only about 9 months old, and already starts to go apart. Do other users have similar problems? Also, the silver-colored round covering of the plug in the power cord is a bit loose. Is this another indication of a quality-control problem with the white iBook?

Jaguar is in the Lexus class -- Comment()
Usability of Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). The system feels like a Lexus car: when you close the door, you know that this thing has been polished to near perfection. Perhaps I'm overstating a bit?

Matlab 6.5 problems on Mac OS X 10.2 -- Comment()
It seems that Matlab 6.5 will not run on Jaguar (Mac OS X 10.2). I updated my review with additional details about this.

A new version of TeXShop is available. It seems syntax coloring on Jaguar has been fixed.
