So I finally rebooted my laptop after the 10.4.10 update, fine a few months late but what the hell. Anyway, my Powerbook started kernel panicking on boot. After a few minutes investigation I found that the iScroll kext was causing all the issues, quickly remove the file in single user mode and I was back up and running…
So much for seamless updates eh?

I just spotted a post by Nik Butler on Pownce saying that CUPS (a widely used printing system for *BSD, Linux and OSX) has been bought by Apple, no licenses will be affected and it’ll remain GPL2, but for how long?
I wonder how exactly Apple can buy this project, It seems that the Dev has been hired by Apple and he’s handed over the rights to Apple. So with Apple at the helm what can we expect? Personally, while i’m not anti-apple, I do feel that theres something to worry about here. With Apple being in control of the copyright it may be relicensed under the Apple opensource license or worse, close sourced.
