You know...

If the chuckleheads in Redmond can put Winders on masked ROM, SURELY OS X could fit on a module...

I'd buy it. I've played with "that other OS", and it's just crap that fits in your hand rather than all over your desk.

SLASHDOT

WE MADE IT ONTO SLASHDOT! HEHEHEHE AND WE HAVEN'T CRASHED!
SLASHDOT! SLASHDOT! OMG! THIS IS SOO COOL!

"OS X
Posted by michael on Tuesday April 03, @06:30AM
from the apt-get-install-OS_X dept.
So, now that OS X has been out a few days and people have had a chance to put it though its paces, let's take a look at it. Upside.com wonders if the new OS was released half-baked. Ars Technica puts it through its paces with a very thorough review. O'Reilly plans to release tech books covering OS X, so if your bookshelf isn't full yet, you can add a few more. Certain major software projects are already being tried on OS X - look out Adobe. And finally, we know it's not April 1, but we thought the picture of OS X on a Visor was cute. Any other good links to reviews? Post them below. "

IS THAT COOL OR WHAT?!

Slashdot! Congratz, James :-)

Well done, James, you got me all the way on this one. I only read it this morning, so was out of the April 1st mood. I must admit I was disappointed, too - alternate OSes on springboards is an amazingly appealing concept.

And congratulations, too, for getting slashdotted ;-)

PS: Miradu, you have all my sympathy for your problems with your family, but please, please, try to correct the many spelling errors in your .sig ... you have many quality posts, but those errors can be costly in credibility.

Well, it did sound like a really good idea heheheh....

OS X on Visor

Another clue: Did anyone also notice that the photo of the Visor is reversed, but the logo and "visor" are correct?

Reversed? Seems like a pretty standard Prism layout to me...

hook line and sinker

I did not get this link until the 2nd or the 3rd and since April 1st slipped by quietly and with my faith in the BSD kernal...well it just looked so good and since Apple dropped the ball on never going forward with the Newton jr. it made good sense.

Kudos to the clever team for getting me on this one

6 - pack

Speaking of the Innogear 6-pack, does anyone know the inside scoop as to why it was axed?

At Mac Hack, they updated the Palm OS

There were dozens more hacks shown, including Apple scripts that do wild and unnatural things to your icons and Palm OS hacks that make your Palm mimic a Mac desktop.
