Catch up – two major challenges – making OS X think on intel procs. Every release of OS has been compiled for intel x86 for the last 5 years – cross platform by design.

7 May 2005Decided to add something to my resume today.
Is your company remarkable?
Are your employees amazing?
Does your company thrive on employees who think differently?
What was the last book your CEO read? What was the last book your VP of Marketing read?
