Text
Configuration Files And XML
Traditionally,
Unix systems used text files with wildly varying internal
structures, and Windows used either binary data or ".ini"
text files (in this sense, "binary" is used for anything
that you can't access directly with a simple text editor).
More recently, Windows abandoned .ini files in favor of
a binary central registry.

Microsoft's
Longhorn fantasy vs. Apple's Mac OS X reality
|
"After months of speculation, Microsoft has released
XP Service Pack 2 in order to fix problems in its operating
system. Amid reports of problems and some successes,
I recommend prudent users continue to wait before deploying
this service pack. It has security holes and its own
set of problems. Meanwhile, the company is pulling features
from its next operating system, code-named Longhorn,
in an effort to get it on the street by 2006," Charlie
Paschal reports for The State.

PDF
And Panther: The Hidden Role Of PDF In Mac OS X 10.3
Apple's Mac OS X makes broad use of Adobe's PDF technology.
It is the first example to date of an operating system
that contains an actual Adobe Normalizer embedded as a
system component. A careful analysis shows that Apple
hasn't yet delivered on the exciting promise of an operating
system built around PDF.

Apple
Looks At Eclipse On OS X
|
Software developers can have it rough; they toil, working
on a bit of code under often impossible deadlines. While
they make a decent salary, they make nothing like the
money Hollywood would have you believe. Programmers
don't exert themselves physically, but the mental strain
in producing good code can be as rough as wielding a
sledge hammer all day.

Office 2004 Could Persuade IT Managers To Reconsider Mac
BusinessWeek has published a review of Microsoft's new
Mac office suite, Office 2004. The reviewer, Stephen H.
Wildstrom, says that the newest version of Office for
Mac is a good enough corporate citizen that it could "persuade
some corporate technology managers to take a fresh look
at Apple."

carefully at the image below. You see two Safari icons
in the Dock (one third from the left, the other next to
the app/doc divider), and also two Safari browsers open,
both on the same site and page, but displaying very differently.

Mac
OS X Panther: Keeping Things Organized
| Mac
OS X, like all operating systems, is designed to help
you organize data. This data is represented using the
industry-standard "desktop" metaphor, originally pioneered
by the first Macintosh and its precursors. In the "desktop"
metaphor, any meaningful grouping of data under a single
name—a picture, an audio recording, a shopping list—is
represented by a document (also known as a file, a term
which will be used interchangeably with document in this
book). http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0429.html

have seen the 20-years-and-counting bond between them
run hot and cold. http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0401.html

quiets beeping G5s

and said the issue has been fixed for new machines rolling
off the production lines. http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0304.html

MacOSX
Lookupd And NetInfo
| Name
resolution is how your system figures out the actual IP
address for host.xyz.com (and vice-versa). For most Unix
systems, that function is provided by "named" and the
configuration files are /etc/resolv.conf, named.conf,
and perhaps nsswitch.conf. While you'll find a resolv.conf
and even a named.conf on Mac OS X, you won't find named
in the process list. Instead, MacOSX has a neat resolver
capability controlled by "lookupd". http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0219.html

Securing
POP Mail Access In MacOSX
| I
always worry about my website. Security is serious stuff,
and you really can't be too careful. I don't enable telnet,
rlogin and use long, complicated passwords with ssh and
so on. I use a shared webserver (http://www.interland.com)
that allows me virtual root access, and I fortunately
don't have to worry about things like sendmail; Interland
keeps on top of that sort of thing for me. http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0205.html

Intro
To Darwinism
| No,
this isn't going to be a religious or scientific battle
about the origin of our universe. It's going to be a first
look at Darwin, the underlying level of Mac OS X. Right
now you are probably asking yourself why, how, or are
confused as to what Darwin really is. I can give a you
a great nutshell answer for each. Strap on your geek boots,
here we go! http://www.macpronews.com/2004/0108.html
