Five months ago I’ve started this OS X blog here, made 248 posts since than, added 713 links and now I’m finally taking a break over the next two weeks. 2005 was definitely an interesting year for us Mac users with a lot of interesting new software, hardware and not to forget all the Web […]

In one of the videos, “An Introduction to Universal Binaries” (you have to be logged in as an ADC member to watch it), an Apple developer with a nice French accent states that the Transition Resource Center […]
