As described in some detail at Ars Technica, Mac OS 10.5 will log all filesystem activity on a volume to a .fseventsd directory in the root of the volume. For removable media this is at best not helpful, and at worst actively damaging.

O2 EDGE network coverage
With the iPhone being launched at 6:02pm yesterday (and having had a play with one in a shop today – it’s definitely shiny, it’s probably worth £70 on top of the iPod Touch*, but it’s not even close to being worth £900, this being the total cost over 18 months of an iPhone and O2’s lowest-cost tariff) the single outstanding question (other than “can a non-removable battery in a device that can’t be turned off or charged without a special adapter last for 18 months?”) is over network coverage for the EDGE technology that Apple, in their infinite wisdom, decided to hobblebuild the phone with.
(Incidentally, how do you write that? “Mac OS X.5” is just wrong, whilst “Mac OS 10.5” isn’t as aesthetically pleasing… oh well, I guess it fits into our multiply-redundant world of “PIN numbers”, “tuna fish”, and “software programs” 🙂
Anyway, on to my initial thoughts on Leopard!
The excellent Phoronix have a series of benchmarks of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on Linux and on Vista… and, using a 512Mb ATI Radeon HD 2900XT with the latest drivers for each, the exact same machine managed a frame rate just over 19% higher on Linux than on Vista!
