Local root own for OSX
Known since March and still no patch... 10.3.9 apparently doesn't fix it, so Tiger probably wont help either. Just don't let anyone touch your computer.

Adobe to Acquire Macromedia in $3.4 Billion Stock Deal
Holy crap. This has the potential to be great (Adobe combines Fireworks and Photoshop features, integration with Flash, Dreamweaver, Illustrator) or suck (Adobe kills off Macromedia Suite in favor of its own products). I'm pretty optimistic about the situation though. Maybe it'll mean that future Macromedia apps for the Mac won't be so poorly done.

i'm lovin it

Actual McDonalds ad. Proving there is such a thing as too much love for a hamburger.
