Mac OS 10.5 Leopard
It's finally here!
On October 26th, Apple released their next major release of OS X, Leopard. Touting over 300 new features, this update is perhaps Apple's best to date.
Sure, it took a lot longer than first expected, but the gang at Apple was tied up with a little something called the iPhone. Another clear success!
Sadly, there isn't enough space to cover all three hundred new features in this email, but here are my favorites; iChat, Spaces, Quick Look and Time Machine.
Click on any picture above and we'll take you to the Leopard product page, where you can read more about its great new features.

Drobo, the robot for your desktop
Fully automated storage you don't have to manage.
As
rich media (photos, video, movies, music) continues to devour your
storage capacity, you need a solution that allows you to easily manage,
protect, and scale storage for your PC or Mac. For you, we've created
Drobo, the first fully-automated storage robot to take the pain out of
keeping your important digital content safe. Avoid the hassles associated with managing multiple external hard
drives or managing the complexities of RAID. Attach Drobo to your Mac
or PC and let it manage your storage so you don't have to. But what about Apple's new program, Time Machine? We're glad you asked!
Drobo is the first desktop storage array that is 100%
compatible with the Time Machine in the Mac OS X Leopard operating
system from Apple Inc. Time Machine automatically backs up a user's
data, and it requires an external storage device, such as Drobo, in
order to function.
Once
the Mac is connected to Drobo, backups are transparent to an end user
who is using Time Machine. Designed to automatically backup files, Time
Machine keeps a continual chain of backups over time, allowing users to
easily recover individual files or an entire crashed drive.
The
longer Time Machine is used, the more data storage it requires. The
advantage of Drobo is that it is infinitely expandable and provides
RAID-like reliability. Unlike other storage arrays, however, Drobo uses
patent pending software that is designed for non-technical users who
demand reliability without the hassle of RAID.
Time Machine manages your backups so you don't have to, while Drobo manages your storage, so you don't have to. |

There's an Android in my cell phone!
 Google parts ways with Java industry group
Complete article published on November 12, 2007 4:26 PST at http://www.news.com/8301-13580_3-9815495-39.html
Google's Android software gives Sun Microsystems' Java technology a starring role--but not the version of Java the rest of the mobile phone industry has been developing since the 1990s.Instead, Google struck off on its own in an attempt to improve performance and openness for the software used in the Open Handset Alliance phones. That means programmers will have a new variety of Java to reckon with--offset somewhat by Google's $10 million code contest to draw developers in.
One difference is Google's development of its own core Java virtual machine (JVM) technology called Dalvik, the software that actually executes Java programs on an Android phone, which Google says means Java programs run fast even on the constrained hardware of mobile phones. But a more significant departure than just using an in-house JVM is the fact that Android isn't part of the Java Community Process that Sun established in 1999 to oversee the development of new Java features.
The JCP governs Java by codifying new features as application programming interfaces (APIs), so programmers can have a standard way of calling upon new technology such as Bluetooth support or 3D graphics. But that existing Java realm wouldn't accommodate the developer freedoms Google thought were important in Android.
"We wanted the platform to be open in a lot of different ways," said Mike Cleron, a Google senior staff engineer working on Android. "The idea is that anybody can come along and replace the pieces of the Android experience on a very fine-grained level. The existing APIs didn't really allow the level of openness we were hoping to achieve in Android."
It should be noted that Google isn't working in a Java vacuum. For example, one of the OHA partners, Motorola, has helped lead development of Java for mobile devices, and Google wants to keep the Java programming experience familiar to developers. And Google is an executive committee member of the JCP, though only for the Standard and Enterprise editions that run on PCs and servers, not the mobile edition for phones and other devices.
"We have people on the team who are active in the Java community. They've been helpful in informing us and guiding us, making sure what we were doing is familiar to folks in the Java community," said Steve Horowitz, Android's engineering director.
Further fragmented?
But the bigger issue is....read of the rest of the article here.
