Mac OS X Apple has finally released Mac OS X 10.6.2, the latest version of its Snow Leopard operating system, and be prepared for a massive update for your Mac: 473MB. There's a lot of stuff in here, and among other things, it includes a fix for the guest account data loss bug.

It's comments like these that make this site so unbearable.


You're free to stick to MDN. You'd be doing us all a favour.

You are free to alienate your readership too, but apparently you don;t give a shit about that.

Jesus Holwerda. You already come across as a frothing at the mouth anti-Apple zealot, then you take the low road with a reader in the comments.

You just proved yourself to be a troll. Your Apple articles are trolling in nature, and have no intrinsic value.

I would suggest leaving Apple alone before you completely destroy whatever credibility you may have left.

I hate playing devil's advocate, but I have to give Thom some credit here. He has been personally affected by Apple locking out the Atom processor, as his own hackintosh is Atom based. I can understand his bitterness.

Should he have let his feelings inject themselves into the story? Well, this is OSNews after all...longtime readers understand and either ignore or vent.

I once left the site for over a year because Thom pissed me off with his arrogant censorship of a few of us who didn't agree with him. I felt he acted childishly by first flaming then wiping an entire thread when it didn't go his way. But, I got over it and have learned to accept that it's still his site after all. If I disagree with him I just ignore that story and go on with my life. It's not worth the energy to get into petty dick-measuring contests online.

Thom, this is my first, and will be my last, post on the OSNews forum.

Your behaviour has become increasingly petulant and boorish over the last few months, quite unbecoming of an editor of a serious IT site.

You do not seem to realise that as editor, it is up to you to take the high-ground, and not to reduce yourself to rude behaviour, however disgruntled you may feel due to the comments of others. I believe that the position you are in here is one you are very much unsuited to.

You may tell me to go and frequent other technical sites - that is your right, although your way of going about it is very unpleasant. I do indeed visit several such sites daily. OSNews will now not be one of them.

Yours, a long-time, but sadly now no longer, OSNews reader.
