What do you call an OS that breaks its best application?
Apple OS X 10.5, bka Leopard, a vision worthy of R3dmond. By foolishly keeping up with Quicktime (7.4) and iTunes (7.6.2) updates, and dutifully keeping up with Leopard OS updates (10.5.3) in the hope that they'll fix the problems in the current incarnation, I have ended up with a computer on which I can no longer listen to any of my music; iTunes will fire up, show my library and even play songs, but no sound comes out. Let's say this again, iTunes, which is probably Apple's coolest app, doesn't work with Leopard, Apple's latest and greatest OS. (Being able to say that sentence in all sincerity and without a trace of irony intended is why this is in the jokes section.) No sound on the DVD player, either.

Windoze....
Unix on Unix?
We were talking about CoLinux (Cooperative Linux - colinux.org) - a Linux kernel that runs natively on Windows (implementing the Unix kernel as a Windows app, or NT Service). That is, without something like VMWare. Somebody asked if it could run on a Mac. Hmmm. Does it need to be pointed out that the Mac is already BSD Unix? (... I guess if you really love Linux that much, this would matter!)
