ZFS. Leopard’s Default File System

Well, well, well. Jobsian scooping? Can’t be a good thing.

We’ve all been expecting ZFS to make an appearance in Leopard. Some of us have been hopeful ZFS would be the defacto file system in Leopard. Looks like it may be coming to pass. (link requires the RealPlayer which I refuse to download/install) Nothing yet available on Google Video or YouTube…

I’m now hopeful the FTFF movement is satisfied soon AND I would REALLY love it if the BitTorrent rumors were validated next week.

Wonder how many other “secrets” of Leopard will be made known prior to WWDC07?

Real Player 11. REAL Wrong!

 Please, consider adding the gwhiz blog to your RSS feed reading. Thanks!

Robert Scoble, who’s blog commenters are usually VERY insightful (self excluded) have called BS on Real.

An announcement of his recently touted Real Player 11 as ‘offline’ capable. Meaning… it can help you download content like Flash, YouTube, QuickTime and DivX media a bit ‘easier’. [EDIT: implying ‘for later viewing pleasure’ which is actually a good idea]

Dare Obasanjo, who also has a fine blog, keenly noted Real might double check to see that they’re not akimbo with YouTube’s Terms of Service. And, they most certainly will be. With YouTube AND with DivX’ Stage6 and possibly with a host of others.

The comments are trending toward not just being majority NEGATIVE. It’s wholly negative. Not a single positive comment. Methinks Mr. Glaser and co have an issue. Could be they HAVE permission. If so, simply say so. My issues with the topic will be addressed. I think there are still lots of skeletons in that particular closet.
