Archimedes (287 BC) said “give me a place to stand and I will move the earth”.
Apple, after decades of lack of decent garbage collection to Objective-C, seems to say “I will give an ARC to exit to the dark hand-made memory allocation”.
Let’see how.

We read in wikipedia:
"Mac OS X is the successor to the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984 [...] The first version released was Mac OS X Server 1.0 in 1999, and a desktop-oriented version, Mac OS X v10.0 followed in March 2001"
The funny thing about MacOSX launch was the huge hype on the retail box: it was named "The world's most advanced operating system" and really it was very huge leap ahead.

Ogni mattina passo dietro un parco trotter di una grande citta', Milano. Li' davanti ad un muretto trovo sempre un City Angels e un tipo che sicuramente ha problemi di droga.
Stanno li' nel freddo della mattina, mentre i dipendenti del comune puliscono l parco dietro di loro.
Un'altro giorno sono li', mentre i residenti portano i cani sul marciapiede (il parco e' a due metri ma si sa' il tempo e' prezioso…).
Il bello e' che ieri quello con la voce impastata non era il tossico ma il City Angels.
Erano vicini e l'angelo sembrava veramente il tossico…per fortuna che c'era quest'ultimo!
Che esistano persone che hanno insospettabili angeli?

Celeste
Celeste is a mail reading and organizing program. The name "Celeste" is a reference to an earlier mail reader named Baba, which was written at Xerox PARC by Steve Putz and John Maloney.
Nowadays, Celeste is maintained by Giovanni Giorgi (me).Latest Feature
A new revision is planned for the end of September 2006, and code name will be "Sonic". Sonic will include a smart mailing-list filter and a better "leave message on server" option. I implemented years ago an auto-filtering system in AppleScript. The filtering engine used the RFC2369 and some other tricks to detect yahoo mailing list. Sonic will have also an auto-filter for google mailing list too.The leave message on server option is quite bad now. It creates a lot of duplicated messages.
The new implementation will avoid dowloading twice a message, using a mix of messageId and timestamp to detect duplicated messages.
