    Posted on October 12, 2005

  • Clearing Inventory

    Apple is apparently updating hardware without telling folks so that they can clear inventory. Interesting. Wonder what happens when the Intel based systems come out? They just going to get quitly slipped in too?

  • Coroutines (Navel Gazing Warning)

    Posted on October 8, 2005

    This mention of lightweight cooperative multithreading and coroutines caught my eye for some reason.

  • Oral History of Silicon Valley
