What I want to know his how Microsoft got it’s moles into Apple to insert these defects in the first place?
If Microsoft had moles at Apple, you would think they would learn a few things by now.
Like how to put out a secure operating system?
When is the upgrade for Keynote?
No update for Logic? Could be viewed as a both a good and a bad thing, I suppose…
RE: The news story the other day about Apple lowering the price of Shake –
It’s seems they are blowing it out the doors and are not going to support it anymore. Apple has confirmed that they are working on the “Next-Gen” product of this type and there will be no future updates for Shake. At least that is how I take it from this article:
http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2006/6/21/4409
Shake is getting a full-blown overhaul.
“Like how to put out a secure operating system”
Since Apple didn’t develop the underlying OS, I doubt there would be much to learn from Apple.
NOT A HIJACK…..check this out – Apple IIE with an ethernet card logged onto the Apple home page!

But Apple certainly could teach MS a thing or two about finding a stable, secure (open-source) systam to base their product on.
“Shake is getting a full-blown overhaul.”
Sounds like a rattle and roll? A composite makeover?
“since Apple didn’t develop the underlying OS, I doubt there would be much to learn from Apple.”
yeah, it was developed mainly at NEXT, which Apple bought… and NEXT practically runs Apple now… so i’d consider that home grown (or at least Stev Jobs grown)… and OS 10.1 – .4 is all apple.
One other thing that’s a bit weird about this update is that it says it’s applicable to Final Cut Express users, but to download it (manually) you need to input a serial for Final Cut Studio…
“it was developed mainly at NEXT”
NEXT developed FreeBSD? Wow. That’s new news, or Revisionist History, or a total misunderdtanding of the origin of Mac OS X.
updates all those and only 2.1mb? I seem to remember iWeb 1.1 was like 90mb
Ah… my silly little mole, it is you who seems to be clueless about the origins of OS X and who wrote them. OSX is a Mach micro-kernel with a BSD compatible application layer built on top of the (mach) micro-kernel. (Free BSD is a monolithic kernel like Linux)
Google the origins of OS X, or here is a link. That way you won’t sound like you have no idea what you are talking about (next time anyway)
http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=3757&page=1
“OSX is a Mach micro-kernel with a BSD compatible application layer “
I did know all that you present, I can’t see how it supports any argument that Apple wrote the OS.
Is your contention is that Apple wrote the Mach microkernel and rewrote a whole bunch of FreeBSD compatible software from scratch which sits on top of it?
If so, you’re mistaken. You misunderstand just how much FreeBSD code Apple uses.
Get with reality, be able to say, “Yes, I understand that Apple didn’t create much of Mac OS X”
You can lead a horse to water…
It seems to me that it is the little windows fanboys who troll Mac forums that have a problem “getting with reality”.
“It seems to me that it is the little windows fanboys who troll Mac forums that have a problem “getting with reality”.
That comment just doesnt make any sense, nor have any relevance to the discussion at hand. I can only guess that from lack of any substance to the reply that you’re conceding the point.
The point is you don’t have a clue. You said that OS X was FreeBSD, it isn’t. (it is based on Mach not BSD) Then you claim to have known that, which you (obviously) didn’t.
As far as you being a little windows fanboy trolling Mac forums making sense. Perhaps you are right, it never has made much sense to me and yet, here you are. So it apparently makes some sense to you
Again, no substance Gates. Mac OS X is widely regarded as a FreeBSD derivative.
I think you’re just repeating a few things you read in a magazine without understanding the Mac OS X kernel architecture at all.
If you ask people who know what they’re talking about, “Is Mac OS X based on BSD” They’d say Yes.
If you also asked them “Is Mac OS X’s kernel based on Mach” they’d answer “yes”.
And both answers are right.
Still you seem to be confirming my point that Apple didn’t write the OS.
Here’s Apple’s comment on the matter:
Darwin technology is based on BSD, Mach 3.0, and Apple technologies. Best of all, Darwin technology is Open Source technology, which means that developers have full access to the source code. In effect, Mac OS X third-party developers can be part of the Darwin core system software development team. Developers can also see how Apple is doing things in the core operating system and adopt (or adapt) code to use within their own products. Refer to the Apple Public Source License (APSL) for details.
Because the same software forms the core of both Mac OS X and Darwin, developers can create low-level software that runs on both Mac OS X and Darwin with few, if any, changes. The only difference is likely to be in the way the software interacts with the application environment.
Darwin is based on proven technology from many sources. A large portion of this technology is derived from FreeBSD, a version of 4.4BSD that offers advanced networking, performance, security, and compatibility features. Other parts of the system software, such as Mach, are based on technology previously used in Apple’s MkLinux project, in Mac OS X Server, and in technology acquired from NeXT. Much of the code is platform-independent.
All of the core operating-system code is available in source form.
The core technologies have been chosen for several reasons. Mach provides a clean set of abstractions for dealing with memory management, interprocess (and interprocessor) communication (IPC), and other low-level operating-system functions. In today’s rapidly changing hardware environment, this provides a useful layer of insulation between the operating system and the underlying hardware.
BSD is a carefully engineered, mature operating system with many capabilities. In fact, most of today’s commercial UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems contain a great deal of BSD code. BSD also provides a set of industry-standard APIs.
New technologies, such as the I/O Kit and Network Kernel Extensions (NKEs), have been designed and engineered by Apple to take advantage of advanced capabilities, such as those provided by an object-oriented programming model.
Mac OS X combines these new technologies with time-tested industry standards to create an operating system that is stable, reliable, flexible, and extensible.
