Apple iTunes
Another problem that may/may not be related to iTunes 10.6 was that syncs of my old iPhone 3G running 4.1 would not complete. Will try it later.
Trying to sync iThingies is just about the most negative experience I've ever had with Apple products; seems to fail at least 25% of the time, no indication why, no cure except maybe groveling through the web for other people's experiences and fixes.
A sinking feeling every time. I hate hooking them to my Macs because of this.
PS3 Media Server
In the Transcode Settings tab, inputting
keyint=5:vqscale=1:vqmin=3
got it streaming smoothly; IOW, I increased vqmin from 2 to 3. I also lowered the AC3 bit rate to 384 kbps, though that may not have been necessary. These were shot on our ca 2005 point-and-shoot, so didn't really benefit from high-quality settings.
But this change probably wouldn't get 720p or 1080i/p streaming working smoothly, though increasing the vqscale and vqmin parameters *might* do so. For the HD formats you might need a 100 mbps wired ethernet connection.

After completing the requested number of evolution steps, it displays some kind of result table, then whisks it off the screen before I can read it.
The Fitness table contains gigantic numbers that are too long even for the maximum width of the table column, no idea what this is intended to show me.
On second thought, I'd give it better marks in consideration of its being an early beta (TOO early for publication even as a beta, IMHO) but having once set the star ratings, MacUpdate's comments form does not seem to allow me to modify them, an egregious omission.
MacUpdate, please fix this.

Manpower
With Bwana installed, type in Safari's location field (where you'd type http://...) man:whatever, e.g. man:ls, and if it has a man page it'll be presented in a standard Safari window, nicely typeset and scrollable. Links in the man page to man pages for other UNIX resource are clickable, especially handy for See Also items and getting to config file man pages.
If you run the Bwana application itself, you can request it display an index of all man pages for browsing (takes a few minutes, so patience required; the next time you request the index, it'll be quite fast).

Google Earth
Take the Visit Developer's Site link at the top of this page, and wend your way down to the download page for OS X version. Near the top left of that page, below the images, turn off the Google Chrome checkbox, then near the bottom go for the "advanced setup" link above the buttons. From there it's obvious.
If they're Not Being Evil, that is.
PhotoSync
I can't even seems to get iTunes to ignore photos altogether when syncing.
