Apple decided to allow devices to use serial over the dock connector in February 2010. Why does the summary list it as a "little known secret"? It's hardly a secret that the dock connector which uses USB communicates via a serial connector. That's what the S stands for in USB, btw.

Here's an article telling about the serial port OK from Apple last February:

So, you say there are only 7 big cats, and then proceed to list 6 of them. What's the seventh???

You didn't technically list Panther (10.3), which is the Genus of Jaguar (10.2), Tiger (10.4), Leopard (10.5), and Lion (10.7).

If we're allowed to use the Genus, we can still have Acinonyx (10.8), Uncia (10.9), and Neofelis (10.10). Unfortunately Puma was already used for 10.1 (but not Cougar, which is in the Genus Puma.)

Confused yet? I certainly am. Perhaps they should have used the Seven Dwarfs. Then this would be OS X 10.7 Doc.

Yep... I got tired of being in a place that hasn't had raises in quite a while (since a few years before I came...) so I started applying everywhere. I ended up with an interview, and am expecting to hear if I got the job tomorrow. The cool part is the pay is likely a 20% raise over what I'm making now.

Although, I've also read that my generation tends to change jobs on average once every 2 years... so maybe it's just time.
