ZFS for OS X {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 13th 2008 11:35PM Looks like there's already some support or stubs for support in place, from vanilla-latest Leopard (maybe I'm special because I have Developer tools):
/System/Library/Filesystems/zfs.fs
/System/Library/Extensions/zfs.readonly.kext
/usr/lib/libzfs.dylib
/usr/sbin/zfs
/usr/share/man/man8/zfs.8
/usr/share/man/man8/zfs.util.8
Probably just read_only support so we won't complain about getting at ZFS stuff from our old machines, etc.
Melman Quicksilver User's Guide {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 19th 2007 2:40PM I think the screenshot here sums up my issues with it. That was with a somewhat reduced catalog, somewhat reduced plugin set, fairly fresh after a quicksilver restart. Triggering it would cause a huge amount of thrashing, to the point where using spotlight is faster as an application launcher.
Chitter 0.9 {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Jan 16th 2007 2:38PM Maybe I'd install this if it worked with Facebook status too.....
The iPhone is not a smartphone {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 10th 2007 12:07AM No Exchange or Office support. -- Dude, we haven't heard anything about third party apps on this thing, but from the fact that it runs OS X, I would not be surprised to see 3rd party applications ported with just a replacement NIB and a recompile for whatever cpu this thing uses. We'll have to wait and hear what they're going to tell developers though.
Prognosticating - Tat's predictions for 2007 {Second Life Insider}
Jan 7th 2007 10:12PM My prediction for the end of the year is more two way interoperability between second life and other internet protocols and applications. The most obvious thing for linden lab to do is add Jabber messaging, but I'm sure second life objects will begin to integrate with external 3rd party applications more.
Optimized Firefox Builds {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Dec 25th 2006 5:14PM Is there really that much of an advantage to these builds? GCC has to know how to do special magic for these machines. Is there something being done that gives an overall benefit from a simple optimization technique between the G4 and G5 (for example). Perhaps the ability to use more registers all the time or addition of significant amounts of SIMD instructions?
Also, I understand how we can compare optimization of algorithms, but does anyone have a good metric for how optimzation benefits a whole application?
