Sun: Leopard file system to be ZFS… & Leopard To Have BitTorrent Client for iTunes Store!!!

Posted on June 6th, 2007 in Leopard, Rumors | View Comments

2 more rumors on Leopard OS X:

1- A rumor based on Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz announcement:

In fact, this week you’ll see that Apple is announcing at their Worldwide Developers Conference that ZFS has become the file system in Mac OS X

ZFS is a file system created by Sun Microsystems in November 2005 that offers better performance than the current file system. It is a 128-bit file system, which allows it to store 18 billion times more data than current 64-bit systems.

2- The second comes from Mac OS Rumors: “Leopard” will include a system-level “BitTorrent” filesharing client that can be user-customized to ‘donate’ upstream Internet bandwidth for things like pushing Software Update packages to Leopard users, delivering iTunes Store content, and just about any purpose to which Apple puts its bandwidth. …Rewards would include credit at the iTunes Store and the Apple Store as well as other affililated offers like free airtime minutes for Apple’s forthcoming “iPhone” and the like.”

Camino 1.5 Released

Posted on June 6th, 2007 in 3rd Party Software | View Comments

WOW!!!

That was my first reaction when I launched it and opened Apple.com!
It displays the pages faster than ever, in this new release Camino uses OS X spell checker, RSS/Feed detector in the address bar (just like the small RSS button you see in Safari), pop up blocking has been improved, you can even block flash animations (which are really annoying sometimes), the application design is superb as always, Camino is still the “Native OS X Firefox”.

All Mac users have a “back up browser” because sometimes Safari just don’t display some pages correctly or is missing a plug in. Most of OS X are using Firefox, I did grab Camino!
