Apple has released the Tiger Darwin Kernel today.
Also open today is Mac OS Forge, a resource to working with source code to "popular Apple-original projects".
"Mac OS Forge is dedicated to supporting the developer community surrounding open source components specific to Mac OS X. Here you will find resources for working with the source code to popular Apple-original projects, as well as third party projects that are closely related to the Macintosh operating system."
Currently available projects include:
Bonjour
Collaboration
Kernel (xnu)
Launchd
WebKit
All this after rumors that Apple wouldn't release Tiger Darwin code as well as the closing of OpenDarwin.org.
This is great news!
Parallels have sent out a beta update to their popular Parallels Desktop application which allows Mac owners to run Windows or just about any other compatible x86 OS.
Some of the fixes include a more USB compatibility with Windows mobile and web cameras as well as optimized Hard Drive cache.
There are a ton of fixes and additions so you should head over to their website to check it out. Get the update here.
Since I've ordered a new MacPro, I was wondering how the heck I was going to get OSX Server running on it. Well it turns out that Apple quietly released OSX Server as a Universal Binary version sometime in June or July I would guess.
While doing a little Google search I turned up this page from Apple for Working with Intel based Macs. The entire page is of interest if you're a system admin, but what I found the most interesting was the first item called Using Mac OS X Server 10.4 with Intel-based Mac OS X systems which is actually a tech article.
What the tech article doesn't answer is if there is some sort of upgrade for those of us who already own a copy of OSX Server 10.4 for PPC. I am assuming that one would have to re-purchase a new copy to get the universal binary version but I could be wrong. If anyone has information on this please let us know!
I can't wait to get my MacPro and try out the UB version of OSX Server!
Apple released BootCamp 1.1 beta today featuring a slew of new features and bug fixes. This version should allow you to run on the new Mac Pro's as the users found the older BootCamp beta would often cause problems.
Boot Camp 1.1 beta includes:

Many love to pay homage to his Steveness, the creator of the Macintosh, iMac and of course the iPod... but I found this to be just plain weird!
In an email from Lajo, a manufacturer of iPod skins and protective coverings for other electronic devices, was this picture and a short message claiming it to be a "Tribute to Steve Jobs":
This is my latest design and I hope you enjoy it. Next week I will be introducing XSKN xShirts (Tshirts) and my first design will be iWheel Genius.
I dunno about you but I find it a little funny but more creepy than anything else! I mean seriously... the "confirm" button is located right on his... um....
Anyway, I'm not sure if his Steveness will find this humorous at all... but who knows? Stranger things have happened.
If you'd like naked Steveness on your iPod, you can pick them up here.
