There’s an interview up with the creator of mach_inject, the OSS libraries that lets many apps override functions in any running process to change its behavior. It is very long, and touches on everything from compilers on the PowerPC to Apple’s difficulties in breaking into the business market and why WebObjects is dying.

Big chunks of this were kinda over my head, but on the whole I really enjoyed this piece.
Very to the point about what is wicked keen in OSX and what needs work.
(And now I have few more things to research.
