Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: the Ars Technica review - Ars Technica

Leave it to Ars to tell me more about Snow Leopard than I would otherwise care to know. There is a wealth of information to be found in those 25 pages if you take the time to read it. You will know more about OS 10.6 than anyone you know. Except for me, because I already read it. Unless you already knew everything in the article. In which case this wont interest you.

If the first thing that pops in your head is “wtf is Snow Leopard?” disregard this post immediately.

Arrow of time no longer double-ended - Ars Technica

Alright, I’ll buy that. Seems elegant enough an explanation, which satisfies that prerequisite. Wouldn’t mind a more detailed justification. I smell a new Brian Greene book in the works

[P]ut simply, running time in one direction allows records to be kept and events to be observed. In the other direction, observation becomes impossible. Therefore, although time could be running in either direction (or, who knows, both directions simultaneously), it is only possible for any observer (not necessarily a human one) to experience time in the forward direction.

He made some generalizations about how the architects and engineers on many large projects can be a bit behind the technology curve, so someone, presumably from Stimulus Central Planning, needs to make sure that all comrades use only the most glorious and auspicious technologies for the benefit of the motherland.

Just what we need: more high def stretch marks! Seriously people, if you can’t get what you need out of low-def porn, you’re doing something wrong.
