Textmate!
Ever since I moved to Mac OS X from linux as my main desktop platform a bit more than 4 years ago, I found the shortage of a decent (let alone good) dev. editor frustrating.
GuitarShredShow!

This article is about the EUCD (European Union Copyright Directive), the European version of the U.S. DMCA (Digital Millenium Copyright Act). This controversial law aims to […]
Come on Stevey. Use some decent components, already!
As with the PowerMac G4 MDD (aka 'Leafblower'), the Powermac G5, the iBook G4 with the faulty motherboards, the Powerbook 'Alu' G4 15" Rev.A with the faulty screens, the last Powerbook G4 'Alu' 15" (discontinued today) having audio, screen, and other hardware issues as well as many other models I won't mention, the Macbook Pro seems to have its fair share of issues in its first revision.
