Applies to Linux users too:
'Mac people' more open, liberal than PC users

| People who prefer Apple's Macintosh computers over PCs have long been
| considered to be on the artsy, hip end of the personality spectrum -- and now
| a study proves that "Mac people" indeed are more liberal and open-minded than
| average folks.

Hardware and preinstallation as an Apple advantage?
The Mac and Windows Alternative: My Linux Laptop
,----[ Quote ]
| Having the difficulties that I did has convinced me that the biggest benefit
| to an Apple Mac over Linux isn't really the Mac's desktop or operating
| system. Let's be honest here, the Mac is basically just Unix and the
| Gnome/KDE Linux desktops are quickly catching up to the whole Mac experience.
| No the biggest benfit to a Mac over Linux is that Apple has installed the
| Unix operating system for you. Until more PC and laptop manufactures get
| behind Linux, Mac will continue to reign in the arena of the Unix/Linux
| dektop installed on the home PC and laptop. That would make me sad, except
| I'm too happy using my Linux laptop to do anything but smile.

Mail DVD sparks "brisk trade" at repair shop
,----[ Quote ]
| A free DVD given away with the Mail on Sunday has created a "brisk trade" at
| Apple repair stores, according to a PC Pro reader.
|
| As we reported on Monday, last Sunday's free Jazz Singer DVD was printed on a
| new format called EcoDisc, which is half as thin as an ordinary DVD and can
| get stuck in certain Apple slot-loading drives.

10.5.1 Fixes Numerous Leopard Flaws
,----[ Quote ]

| Finder" has been corrected; this issue cropped up when using Command-drag to

Massive Data Loss Bug in Leopard
,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
