I think all the friggin' time, and I get way too many ideas I want to execute in real life, but either don't have the time or competency for. So I try to pick the ones I can execute, or find exciting enough that I may gain the competency to execute.
Enterprise 2.0/Social Media is definitely something I want to get more into. Not because it's hot now. But because it's useful, and has enormous potential to change how businesses do business.
I hope you find my blog, and the links I share, useful or funny. Maybe even inspiring. Who knows ?
In any case: Welcome :)
The problem, can easily be reproduced when a user logs into the 'guest' account, either on purpose or by accident, and when they log back out of the account and back into their normal one, they find that their account has been fully reset with all data wiped and lost - the account is like a brand new one. The home directory still exists under "/Users/username" but is completely empty.
Nasty, so beware !
During the first two weeks of its release, Snow Leopard outsold Apple's two previous operating systems by a wide margin and set a record for the Mac maker. Sales of Apple's latest OS were more than two times higher than its predecessor, Leopard, and almost four times more than Leopard's predecessor, Tiger, according to the NPD Group, which tracks retail sales, excluding online sales.
At $29 that's almost a given. Perhaps Microsoft should learn from this. Lower your prices. Sell more. Perhaps even win over some of the pirates.
Apple has a point here. They removed all the serial number crap that's always so bothersome, but set the price low enough, that there's really no benefit to downloading a pirated copy of their software.
Even their office solution and their fun pack (iLife) are priced in a way, that you actually feel you get a massive bang for your buck.
And, they have low priced family packs.
Apple may sometimes be both arrogant and hard headed. But they know how to move their stuff.

The Mac OS X user interface, once trendsetting, is now a tired motif overdue for overhaul.
I completely disagree. I find the OS X user interface consistently simple, while looking great. And it's very functional. Not perfect. But a great experience.
Go read for yourself. Although I do find these "my blob is better than your blob" articles a bit tiresome by now.
And, I think Joe Wilcox is relatively monosighted.
