Sweet Tiger Terminal Server hack
Wesley Felter: On Slashdot, Mike Paquette from Apple revealed the existence of what I'm calling the Tiger Terminal Server hack: (via Hack the Planet)
Wow.
Dell would sell Mac OS X if it could

I would be shocked if Apple would take them up on their offer (at least publicly) any time soon, but once they have their own Intel-based machines out and Mac OS X has gained acceptance on Intel (in large part because Apple is controlling the user experience) this could be a great opportunity for them.
Regardless of the outcome this is a win for Apple, it adds even more credibility to Mac OS X (as if it needed more).
NYT on iChat/iSight and videoconferencing, Kevin Callahan is a pioneer
New York Times: Jerky Pictures and Sound Are History. Videoconferencing Is All Grown Up.
We (me, Cheryl and the kids) had a wonderful time at Kevin's house on the way back from WWDC last Sunday morning. It was so great to meet up with Kevin again, it's been over 3 years since we've been face-to-face. He's been innovating with distance teaching for quite a while now, it's great to see him get some recognition as a pioneer in the area.
During breakfast I mentioned that the last session of the week for me was really cool, some great high-end effects that really got me jazzed.

"That name sounds familiar, I think so, why?" I replied.
"He lives in Cupertino, I teach him guitar."
(Double take)
He showed me a screen shot he'd made for his web site while teaching him, and sure enough, that was the guy I saw speak 2 days prior in San Francisco.
Small world eh?
Kevin is also the developer of a very popular Mac OS X development utility, Accessorizer.
Great article Kevin!
