Block Apple traffic: A developer who's pissed at Apple because of all the bugs in Mac OS 10.5 is blocking all traffic from Apple.com until Apple fixes the bugs. We admire the developer's moxie, but why would Apple care that they can't access www.rixstep.com?

I don't get the Leopard bugginess at all--I haven't had any problems with it. Time machine works like a charm for me, though granted, I use a second internal drive for it. It makes me wonder what people did when they installed . . .

I went to Rixstep's website... and tried - in vain - to discover anything useful that they do.
And found nothing. And thus don't care that they are blocking traffic from apple.
I think Rixstep needs to spend less time worrying about who's accessing their site, and more time on... um... well SOMETHING??????

I think it's fair to list Leopard as the 8th technological dissapointment of the year. Time Machine is unreliable, syncing crashes my computers, and programs crash much more frequently than with Tiger or Panther. Leopard has some nice features, but its reliability has decreased as it becomes bigger and more complex.

Not only has Leopard been named a tech dissapointment, Popular Mechanics has named AppleTV as one of their worst gadgets of 2007. See it at http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/reviews/4236755.html?page=9
