How do you levy fines against Google (or any company for that matter) for exploiting *in a non-harmful way* Apple's fuck-ups? If Apple wanted their browser to truly block cookies then there should not be a way around it. It's not like Google was deploying malicious code.. The punishment fits the 'crime' -- if you care to absurdly call it a crime.. :thumbsdown: once again to the FTC. ugh

Looking Back At OS X's Origins 312

Posted by CmdrTaco on Monday September 20, 2010 @11:59AM from the i-fail-at-history dept.

DJRumpy writes "Macworld Weekly has an interesting look at the history of OS X from its early origins in 1985 under NeXT and the Mach Kernel to Rhapsody, to its current iteration as OS X. An interesting, quick read if anyone is curious about the timeline from Apple's shaky '90s to their current position in the market. There's also an interesting link at the bottom talking about the difference between the original beta and the release product that we see today."

coming from another 25b (formerly a 31U) i couldnt have put it better; "I've been in some very, very tight spots on the streets of Baghdad, and I can tell you firsthand that the *LAST* thing you will do when you are getting shot at is looking at a Gameboy-sized screen to see where your buddies are. You'll have eyes on them, believe me. You won't let them out of your sight."
