Hey everyone,
Steve Jobs, the heart of Apple, is back at work after a liver transplant at a Tennessee hospital. The Methodist University Hospital Transplant Institute in Memphis told the media that "He received a liver transplant because he was the patient with the highest MELD score (Model for End-Stage Liver Disease) of his blood type and, therefore, the sickest patient on the waiting list at the time a donor organ became available. Mr. Jobs is now recovering well and has an excellent prognosis.”
The 54-year-old has been ill for a long time and Apple's share price has been bouncing up and down with rumours about his health. About six months ago, he went on medical leave. Now he is back to work with an excellent prognosis according to his doctors.
Questions were quickly asked, though, about why Mr Jobs, a California resident, found his liver in Tennessee. Did he jump the queue ahead of sicker patients? That's not really the problem, wrote bioethicist Arthur Caplan in his column for msnbc.com. The real issue, in his opinion, is that in the US rich and well-connected people are more likely to get transplants than the poor.
He compared Jobs's case with that of a 17-year-old who also needed a liver transplant, Nataline Sarkisyan. She died in 2007 after her insurer declined to pay, arguing her transplant would be experimental. There are many reasons which might make a particular patient unsuitable for a transplant. But there seem to be more solutions for the rich, argues Caplan.
No es por Steve Jobs, a quien deseo lo mejor, es por el sistema sanitario, que parece no tener inconveniente en hacer de los ricos gente más prioritaria que otra.
Eu uso o Mac OS X Leopard, e esses dias fui baixar a nova versão do Eclipse e me deparei com mais de uma opção de escolha, Carbon ou Cocoa, e ainda o Cocoa 64bits. Eu não sabia muito o que escolher, mas uma rápida busca no Google me levou a este blog que me ajudou na escolha.
Basicamente o Cocoa está substituindo o Carbon no desenvolvimento de aplicações para o Mac OS, e só o Cocoa suporta 64bits. O post indica a melhor opção como sendo o Galileo Cocoa 32bits, e justifica direitinho, vale a pena dar uma lida lá.

Had to revert back to Safari version 3.2. Ever since I'd upgraded to the Safari 4.0 version, the browser kept crashing every time I sent a web email with attachment. It was very annoying for a few days. Then, it just became downright unbearable. Apparently, others have had varying issues with the latest browser release from Apple.
Calma rapaziada! Tenho a solução para os vossos problemas!
Apesar de o factor de fiabilidade de um Mac ser bastante bom, sejamos francos, são computadores. E como computadores que são, podem falhar a qualquer hora ou lugar e, como é costume, nos momentos em que mais precisamos deles.
Pois bem, se o problema do vosso é não arrancar, eis que descobri um mini guia de bolso dobrável, "My Mac Won't Start!", com dicas para resolver os problemas mais comuns do Mac em arrancar.
Aqui fica o download para os mais inseguros. :D
(download)Nota: a versão do mini guia é de 2006 e não consegui encontrar outro (que provavelmente nem há, visto ser tudo igual). No caso de encontrarem, basta dizer nos comentários. ^^
Cumprimentos,
João
Alright. So the site is coming along nicely. And getting text, pictures, audio and video to it from the laptop is a breeze. So now the big challenge is how to do the same thing from iPhone to website.
