Apple abandons ZFS on Mac OS X project over licensing issues
Sun's ZFS filesystem, which the company has referred to as "the last word in filesystems," was widely expected to be adopted by Apple for use in Mac OS X. However, support never materialized, and the open source project to port the filesystem was unceremoniously shut down last Friday. The (un)stated reasons at heart seem to be licensing issues, though there are also technological reasons why Apple
Decoding the HTML 5 video codec debate
The increasingly competitive browser market has at last created an environment in which emerging Web standards can flourish. One of the harbingers of the open Web renaissance is HTML 5, the next major version of the W3C's ubiquitous HTML standard.

Evidence suggests first zombie Mac botnet is active
If you let yourself get tempted into installing the pirated versions of iWork or Photoshop CS4 that circulated on Bit Torrent earlier this year, you may have unwittingly turned your Mac into a zombie.

Chrome only browser left standing after day one of Pwn2Own
Browser vendors often make strong claims about their responsiveness to vulnerability reports and their ability to preemptively prevent exploits.

Nicholas Jitkoff and Dave MacLachlan have taken the wraps off the project they've been working on for the past year.

Today, we can confirm that the updated MediaPlayer framework (it's a public framework) offers a working solution for exporting video out live to a connected TV screen. The MPTVOutWindow class allows your iPhone to send its video to a connected TV rather than to the built-in screen. Intended to be used with movies, the unpublished class c
A touch of Cocoa: Inside the original iPhone SDK
When 2016 was over, Apple announced that its app store business generated well over $28 billion in sales that year. While that includes sales of software for its desktop operating system, it does not include the vast quantity of applications that are given away for free (many of which enable some sort of transaction when run).
