  1. I heard that Leopard cures baldness, erectile dysfuntion, warts, scabies, head lice, brake malfunctions, natural gas leaks, bad hip-hop, toe fungus, paper cuts, anal leakage, slow express lanes, religious intolerance, low white blood cell counts, and misguided transgender decisions. I saw it on the internet so it must be true.

  2. Looks about as fake as they come.

    He says that the spotlight logo is different to match the new apple menu logo.. Looks like Tiger to me.

    The highlighting in iTunes is definitely Photoshopped.

    Hype, hype, hype.

  3. Isolation box. When this is activated, Safari grows a little black shield around it and everything to do with Safari takes place instead in an encrypted disk image of a special filesystem that nulls unix permissions, anything that is written goes there and can’t execute out of the image. The image is deleted after the session.

    Oh good, it’s about time Apple start learning about comparmentalized security.

    Does one actually think one password and id card is going to get them access to the enitre Pentagon?
