In other news, cold fronts moving in in hell...

Sun to Become Windows Server OEM.

Seriously, don't they remember what happened when SGI released windows boxes?

Nice blog entry on zdnet about how, even if you have a system explicitly set to not update automatically, Microsoft will silently update your machines with no notification or asking permission.

Nice.

Extra Apps for iPhone

To sum up:
Installer.app is a UIKit based package manager for the iPhone. It works by downloading packages over WiFi (wireless networking) or EDGE. It supports installing, updating and uninstalling applications from multiple sources.


Very painless, very cool.
