Just ordered a Mac Mini that will come with iLife 2009 I suppose... If iLife 2010 is only a week away am I going to be able to get iLife 2010 for free (e.g. goign to an Apple shop with the Mac Mini invoice)? Or should I just return it then reorder once I automatically get iLife 2010 with it?
Got a tip for us?

Kernels are still mainly Procedural C with Object Orientated CXX UserLand.
OSX is a Hybrid Kernel.
To avoid having to write wrappers for Userland. That would save a lot of extra code and thus space.

Because the best argument against someone who differs in opinion from you is to tout racism...
I am a designer by trade, but my work goes beyond just Design. I do extensive CAD and photorealistic visualization (still/animation), image manipulation, database management, video editing and project management. Beyond that, as many others now do, I use my computer as a media center and gaming (or lack there of). However, what I do is not so much at issue as is "what I could be doing" if Macs had anywhere near the offerings available to PC buyers.
Wouldn't you rather be the one to decide if you need HDMI, lets say to connect your Mac to a high definition TV for a presentation? Or viewing a movie you made or purchased for download? Shouldn't you be the one deciding if you need Blu-Ray for archiving or media distribution? Inexpensive eSATA for your fast storage requirements? Why must Mac users be denied affordable and widely used/proven technologies simply because Apple has hidden agendas? Why should we stand for it?
On top of that, we are asked to pay a huge premium for computers, not only lacking these and other technologies, but with dated video cards, less storage capacity and in some cases less RAM. In addition we are asked to pay extra for a now industry standard 3 year warranty.
Mac users need to reexamining the Mac and what we are getting, and what we pay for it, versus what we need and want. I know I want more, at least at a par with what PCs offer. I want value for my money, no matter what I use it for.
Sure, I want to decide, and I do. In my corporate context I'm surrounded by Dells and, as I've stated, I find the Mac Pro more cost effective for the work I'm doing now.
Simply put, we don't need HDMI, eSATA or Blu-Ray for our work. I'm not doubting that some people do, but I don't.
Maybe it's the years of dealing with Dell that puts the Macs we have in the lab in context. I think you're being a touch hyperbolic in suggesting that this is all a conspiracy of hidden agendas. Apple's agenda has been transparent from the beginning-- simplicity to a fault mixed with some executives' personal preferences. The cost premium you're suggesting simply doesn't exist-- I ran the numbers and while it's a closer match today than it was a year ago, it would still be cheaper for me to run Windows on a Mac for what I want. Apple appears to have even gotten their memory prices under control.
I would be surprised if FS and HAL for example are not programmed object oriented, even if written in C...
one thing to consider is the cost of OSX is absorbed into the hardware costs, so if we started paying what PC users do for the package, we would need to pay a couple hundred extra for just the O.S. then you have the aesthetic design of apple products which costs, both in man hours and in good materials. I agree there is a bit of a premium but really what I'm trying to get at is there's really still not a direct comparison, it's two different business models.
no rumors leaking out about computer updates as a spec bump is not as interesting to write about as a brand new product.
doesn't mean there aren't those waiting impatiently to buy a macbook pro or something, but just that there are more people interested in Jobs' last "one more thing"
I cant remember the source but I think HAL on Unix usually has a wrapper of some sort.
Hey just a heads up i do believe that iLife as you correctly pointed out has been renamed but not the 4 programs included so you still get iPhoto '09 iMovie '09 etc and it begs the question whne will we get iPhoto '10 etc!!
Oh just btw as well give the FOX/liberal/general unrelated trash a rest please
