Nine Inch Nails vs. GarageBand

Nine Inch Nails have released one of the songs, "The Hand That Feeds " from the forthcoming With Teeth CD in Apple GarageBand format so everyone can create their own remixes. The 70 meg file is available for download now.

Might Apple ditch PowerPC for Satanic chips?

Asked whether Apple is now mooting a move to x86 chips, Jobs noted that that couldn't happen until the vast majority of its users and - more importantly - its developers have migrated to the Unix-based Mac OS X. That won't have happened until the end of this year, he added.

"Then we'll have options," said Jobs.

Space.

...and out come the alternate desktop management tools. I can see how this would be useful for laptop users who need to have a lot of windows and apps open, but in different combinations. It might also be useful for repetitive tasks between different apps and folders.

I'm also a big fan of FruitMenu, a "haxie" (stupid name) from unsanity, the same folks who bring you the beloved Silk (1.1 available. Got get it.) FruitMenu lets you take greater control over your Apple menu, and has a keyboard program switcher, too.

Even if you would never use this stuff, it's cool to see how flexible OS X can be. With very little effort, you can modify the OS to work how you want it to work (I know, I know, spring-loaded folders are coming in Jaguar; don't get yer undies in a twist...)
