Earlier quoted context omitted.

That is touching my open source nerve, the penguins ought to be able to assemble something like this themselves.

This is hilarious. Mythical man ymonth applied to writing. Let's crowd source some more Tolstoy novels while we're at it.

A review of a computer system is hardly a major work of art. Brooks' n(n+1)/2 won't kick in until we exceed five or ten people I think.

The new iCloud support is interesting. I just edited the same iCloud document in TextEdit on two different machines, and I gotta say that is really damn cool. On the other hand, this new iCloud support sadly highlights another unrelated new feature in Lion, and not in a good way: Automatic Termination. You must use TextEdit to browse your iCloud documents, which is fine, but TextEdit keeps fucking disappearing on you…

Automatic termination can be disabled by a low-level preference:

    defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool true
It is one of the settings documented here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4306573
