Any good links to how operating systems work?
asciilifeform: I know of no book in print today about how operating systems work. Sadly, there are only books about how Unix (and sometimes VMS, in its NT incarnation) works.The fact that the two subjects are seen as one and the same is why systems innovation is all but dead:http://www.eng.uwaterloo.ca/~ejones/writing/...

AhtiK: Good overall look. But IMHO 4 screenshots at the front-page do not provide enough detail. It took more than a minute to figure out that those 4 thumbnails are meant to be clicked.I think I also liked the site design that was up ~1mo ago. Plus the product itself is also very nice.
If Apple didn't approve apps, would you install them on your only phone?
yumraj: You're making an assumption that Apple's app reviewers do a full fledged deep analysis of an app to come to the flawed conclusion that a "blessed" App is same as a "Safe" App.For example, how difficult is it for me to create a perfectly nice app/trojan and then embed a time bomb in it, which activates 3-4 month...
