If you’ve always seen OS X Leopard Server and drooled, soon you will be able to get it for monthly fee from MediaTemple, which is currently testing their (xv) Xserve-Virtual which like their regular(dv), use Parallels to virtualize the server software.

Mission: Eggcomplished (Mac everywhere!)
In an address to students in a Hungarian university, a disgruntled student threw eggs at Steve Ballmer(, Microsoft CEO(link).
The funniest part was not the egg hurdling, but the most beautiful sight there is: A student carrying a white Macbook at a Microsoft led speech. I think that was the big insult of the day!

iPhone’s SDK biggest drawback: no multitasking

-Third party apps can’t run in the background.
I love the Mac, because all apps are created equal. But the iPhone(at least for now) will treat third party apps like [...]
iPhone SDK: Finally!
I can’t believe that Apple actually managed to released all the features people had been complaining about. IT is a mayor announcement for the platform.
As always John Gruber has a good piece on it.
I am still downloading the iphone SDK(2.5 GB). As soon as I have time to look at it, I will [...]
How important is the SDK announcement tomorrow?
Consider this: Michael Arrington hasn’t live blogged any event in a while(that I can recall). This time he is going himself(just a couple of miles anyway) to report on the iPhone’s SDK announcement as per his twitter account:
