Sorry, yes, I know how to spell the word leopard, but in a Slashdot article I read (I'll spare the guy any direct ridicule...), someone was so excited about his copy of Mac OS X "Leapoard" in the mail and how he was looking forward to install it when he got home. Geez, man... Learn to spell your idol operating system.

Anyway, in the wake of the news of the (delayed) release of Leopard and how simply amazing it is that it's surpassing 2 million sold copies (indeed, I'm sure that all 2 million Apple users would go out and buy it... Maybe even twice! How is this amazing? Tsk tsk), I thought I'd toss out this little gem:

"A Second Look at the Mac OS X Leopard Firewall"

Looks like Apple messed up! But according to Slashdot... hey, you can't expect Apple to get everything correct, right? Heheheh... Indeed. Can you imagine the reaction if Microsoft did that? Oh, wait! If you're old enough to remember the pre-SP2 releases of Windows XP? The firewall had trouble and Microsoft got charred over it. Now Apple's firewall doesn't block incoming traffic properly (like, the entire reason you would even want a firewall) and everyone's going "pfft, a minor mistake."

Honestly, it's like dealing with left-wing liberals. Not to be saying that all Macintosh users are like left-wing liberals... Two people that come to mind (who aren't crazy, I mean) are Capella and Iaian7. Pretty much the only two Mac users I know personally. (If we "fight", it's all in good fun.) But like they say, the most outspoken people are usually the most crazy... And I'm sure the majority of Mac users have a good head on their shoulder and aren't rabid and ignorant like the Slashdot and Digg environment is.
