10.5.1 Fixes Numerous Leopard Flaws
,----[ Quote ]
| 10.5.1 also reportedly fixes problems in storing wireless network passwords
| and using Disk Utility, and it addresses five Mail flaws. A bug that resulted
| in "potential data loss issue when moving files across partitions in the
| Finder" has been corrected; this issue cropped up when using Command-drag to
| move, not copy, files in the Finder across local hard drives and mounted
| volumes.

When you spot a bug in GNU/Linux, remember the state of Vista and Leopard (they
are probably worse, but they have PR departments).

| Aaaand … poof!

| The directory on our Desktop is now gone. The directory shown in the C$ mount
| will only contain files that were copied entirely before the connection was
| disrupted, but nothing more (in the demonstration case, there’s only one file
| in "test", so nothing was copied successfully).

| Where’s the rest of our data?
|
| Apple, please FTFF already. This is unacceptable.

Apple Arrogance Unleashed!
,----[ Quote ]
| But the only problem with Apple is that it has no gratitude. Or humility. Or
| generosity. Or manners.
|
| I'm a big fan of Apple products. But there's no escaping the fact that Apple
| has always been, well, arrogant. Which was fine -- their superiority complex
| has always been both partially deserved and one of the company's motivations
| to strive for better things. But in the past few months, the company seems to
| have crossed some kind of invisible line, now brazenly pissing off not just
| competitors, but its most devoted fans, closest partners and industry
| supporters.
