Dudes, Too much of OSX here, I am sick , even being a OSX user myself I am not in mood of removing beloved ubuntu I have in other partition which I use as frequently. My first love with apple was due its hardware rather than software, later I liked few ideas implemented neatly there, I liked there development platform Xcode too. But when it comes to freedom and power to fiddle with inner layers and do even a simple tricks like changing mac address I found restriction, my OSX dock is filled almost with open source apps like inkscape, vlc, neooffice ,firefox, virtualbox etc. I was amazed when I couldn't write to ntfs partition and access my ext3 partitions. more over that OSX do not come bundled with hands on solution for documentation and authoring tools as in most of the OSS distros. What I believe is you shouldn't be fundamentalist, and choose solutions wisely, there is no point in comparing OS that comes with > $1000 hardware and OS on free CD shipped to your home, except if you want to improve the feature of later by adding features like automator or time machine of former, or want to make less fortunate people more miserable. Btw, there are way cooler linux based hardware devices that apple fanboys cannot even dream of. The single motive of this mailing list is to promote freedom and equal right of technology ownership to fortunate and unfortunate human beings on both side of digital divide. Lastly the coolness of OSX is to learn something form , not to imitate elitism in our lifestyle. I ask one question to tech literate OSX fans: Is there any feature in OSX that cannot be imported to other OSes , or Is there anything you can do with OSX machine that you cannot do accomplish on Free Software? well that was two question :) Ankur.
