How's the stripped down OSX, ND?

It works really well. It is OS X but it is all locked down so the user can't get to any of the os bits.

Maybe I'll go to the Apple Store today and see if I can play with one. I can't afford it and I'm still under contract with Verizon, but....want.
ION, I'm having an issue with Google apps (Gmail and Reader). At some point in the past week or so they've stopped automatically opening external links in new tabs, which was a feature I really appreciated. I can't find a setting to switch it back in any of the help menus. Anyone else having this problem and fixed it? (Or could it be a Firefox issue and not a Google one?)

I can certainly say the I'm very impressed with my iPhone. Make no mistake about how locked down Apple has made it though. It works they way they want it to and there is no real way to add anything. Hopefully that will change eventually but even with that limitation it is doing the main things I need my phone to do and it is doing them very well.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm sure there are at work hundreds of happy hackers out there looking to unlock the locks, too.

I'm sure there are. The reality is that while I enjoy playing with te hacks I rarely install them on devices I depend on for my work. As such this iPhone will most likely be only running the stuff Apple approves.

Jessica,
that's weird. that sounds like a firefox change. Did you install anything new in firefox that would have made that change?

Not deliberately, but I don't always pay close attention to when it self-updates.

I have a video file that used to play just fine on my old computer in WMP, er, 9? 10? but now in WMP 11 it's only playing audio, not video. Any suggestions? It lists no video codecs under Properties, just audio codecs. Any ideas? I know I'm being vague, but I don't know what information would be helpful. The file extension is, er, ".DVDScr." actually, which seems odd to me.
ETA: Haha! Never mind. Windows Media Player gave me no information at all, but Quicktime told me it didn't have the divx codec. Problem solved!

A non-profit I'm involved in needs to do a three day video conference: somewhere between ten and 16 people will be participating.
Any thoughts on costs? Most of the free services limit you to four people on screen at once. Megameeting? Some of the video chat software?
