Sherlock

Okay, time to wake up the thread again. I have a real situation where it seems like my Mac would be so close to being up to the task, but is not. I am moving and despite fleeing CT with pure joy, there is one thing I like here - a few radio stations (WPKN and WNYC) that I listen to ALL the time, plus a few more from Detroit where I used to live too (WDET).

That's most excellent. The webkit will likely have something along the lines of the Google searchbar or a News Reader offering (Sherlock redux?). As far as the redoing of .Mac, that's wonderful. Especially the speeding up of iDisk. As for your questions, it's much to early to be wondering about them. And where do you have information that .Mac is failing due to lack of...

After researching sherlock and finding almost every sherlock 3 channel developer murdered, this could be at apples doing. Heck apple could take sherlock 4 an put it into ilife as a new app. There are have been nearly 60 sherlock 3 channels released. I have only 22 that I use on occassion. ...

Apple mixing Sherlock and Find was one of the biggest mistakes in the Mac OS in years! we had to wait for 10.2 to fix that. ...

but if apple never came out with sherlock 1.0 I don't think that watson would have come about. It's like the linux minix issue. Do you really think that linus T. ...
