OpenOffice.org
Oct 13 2008

DGEO  PPC binaries have been suspiciously absent from OpenOffice.org for some time now. Now I see the reason. Is there an official announcement about Intel-only support ? BTW, MacOSX folder at ooopackages.good-day.net is empty, WTF ? I'll continue using NeoOffice instead, even in my x86 MacOSX.

Apple Java for OS X 10.5
Sep 25 2008

DGEO  I don't know how Apple does it but they succeeded in what others couldn't do; constrain a seemingly open platform to a single CPU architecture. Maybe it was just strategic movement, maybe they were trying to cut expenses, maybe they had to completely kill PPC because their CPU supplier (Intel) commanded so, maybe it was just programming incompetence. They just look silly to me; JDK1.6 was available in beta for PPC ages ago (both 32bit and 64bit) and x86 Java is universally available in every platform out there (well, almost). I guess if they didn't have to control everything and let Sun do an OSX version things would have been better for all.

DGEO  It mounts in desktop and it is HFS preformatted but it is not bootable, at least not in PPC Macs. Beware, this drive has other issues as well regarding waking from sleep etc.

Mathematica
Sep 28 2007

DGEO  It must be stated that Wolfram has discontinued 64bit PPC support for Mathematica 6, it just runs in 32bit now. Mac PPC G5 is the only 64bit platform that Mathematica runs in a 32bit constrained mode. If you really need 64bit and have a PowerMac you should stay with the previous version 5 ... or look elsewhere.

DGEO  It looks good. It just doesn't work. It crashes every half a minute. And I am not the only one saying that. Stay away !
