Month of Apple Fixes

das writes "On the same day as the launch of the Month of Apple Bugs (MOAB) (blog), Landon Fuller, a programmer, Darwin developer, and former engineer in Apple's BSD Technology Group, has launched an effort to provide runtime fixes for each MOAB issue as they are released. A fix has already been posted for the first MOAB issue."

Stay tuned....

Month of apple bugs over in one Bug? They had to go to an application already? Also, who would have known, an application writer that makes a mistake on one platform might make that same mistake on another.

The acronym MOAB has already been taken http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Ordnance_Air_ Blast_bomb [wikipedia.org]
To prevent confusion I propose it should be Apple Month of the Bugs. AMOB

Actually...

Sorry... that acronym is already taken:
AMOB Anna Maria Oyster Bar (Bradenton, FL)
AMOB Automatic Meteorological Oceanographic Buoy

You should try an acronym that is totally original, like:
Exploits & bugS from aPple moNth

Month of Slashdot Dupes

On the same day as slashdot ran this article [slashdot.org] slashdot also ran this dupe, indicating that it's editing problems have still not been solved. When asked to comment, a slashdot spokesperson replied "My hovercraft is full of eels".

See, the point of switching back to Mac from Linux for recreational desktop use is that I just click on files and they play. If I wanted abuse for not being familiar with some media player minutia, I'd still be in #mplayer trying to figure out what to install to view a WMV.
