Mac OS X Two interesting articles on OS X today. This one summarizes some of the less-obvious new features of Apple's Tiger. The other one theorizes that Apple's shift to Intel is an incentive for Windows developers to port their software due to the lack of the endian problem.

Even if it is possible to write C/C++ in Cocoa, most of the documentation is based on ObjC. Even if the concepts are the same, the language differences is still a hurdle you will have to overcome in order to port your application to OSX. Even though any good programmer will be able to master several programming languages, it is still a nuisance to write in different languages at the same time.

No matter what problems different languages causes, the endianness should not be that big a problem.
