MacDailyNews: "'There is nothing at all that prevents the version of Mac OS X that runs on the developer transition machines from running on any PC with compatible components,' Jeff Harrell writes for The Shape of Days. 'The Intel-based Power Macintoshes that Apple is showing at their developer conference are based on an Intel motherboard, generic Intel graphics and off-the-shelf Pentium 4 CPUs... I estimate that we're down to a matter of hours before Mac OS X 10.4.1 for Intel hardware is available for download on Internet software piracy sites and peer-to-peer piracy networks. (Update: A reader who for obvious reasons wishes to remain anonymous just demonstrated to me that the software is, in fact, already available on Internet software piracy sites.) If I can think through this stuff, Apple's management can think through this stuff. This is the most awe-inspiring stealth marketing move I've ever seen.'"

Yesterday, on a walk through my neighbourhood, I saw lots of spotted orchids (see picture). Orchids are wonderful flowers. In most countries they are protected.
