This is not exactly a surprise, given the rare hypefest that prevailed through the first half of 2004. The prospective initial public offering of an excellent company with amazing profit margins and a valuable brand captured imaginations and looked likely to also capture big money in the public markets.

Mac OS X Window Behavior


Mac OS X Window Behavior 03/14/2005 06:09 PM
Jeff Carlson (~990 words)

When Apple thrust Mac OS X upon us, it was quite a change. I remember one colleague remarked that his head was filled with all sorts of Mac OS 9 troubleshooting arcana, nearly all of which would be rendered moot once Mac OS X gained its footing. Some behaviors in the new operating system changed enough that they disrupted the flow of how we'd been using the Mac for years. Subsequently, several utilities appeared to bring back those behaviors (see "Top Mac OS X Utilities: Restoring Mac OS 9 Functionality" in TidBITS-622).


Ban Behavior, Not Code?


Ban Behavior, Not Code? 05/10/2004 02:32 PM
Declan McCullough has a roundup of plent y of dreadful legislation that has been proposed to ban certain applications, pointing out how many would ban perfectly legitimate applications as well. His recommendation is that instead of banning applications, politicians should focus on banning behaviors. As has been said many times here, banning technology makes no sense. Banning bad behavior is perfectly reasonable. However, it's not necessarily so easy with software. If you asked the politicians and looked at some of the bills McCullough mentions, many would say that they are trying to ban behavior and not the technology. For example, with spyware, they're trying to ban the behavior or sneakily sending private info without the user knowing it. That's what the various laws propose - and it's clearly targeting a behavior. The end result, though, is that it bans any technology that automatically performs that "behavior." So, separating out software from behavior isn't always so easy.
