  • igutekunst, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just use Dear Park, which is basically a user compiled version. I've seen OS X x86 versions for months.
  • mlebeau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0non-sequitur: Does anyone know what the URL was for the front page story from yesterday that apparently got removed for the TV torrent website that was supposed to be really good?
  • riot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it could be

  • atariby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Those good ol' firefox guys :)
  • DeMarko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'd rather they make a Camino Universal binary than a Firefox one
  • Rice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yay, a mention for Camino!
  • infectbda, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't Rosetta handle FF for the time being?

    "..having to bend over backwards to suddenly support a new file-system like that."

    OSX x86 has been available to developers through the Apple developer network for about a year now.
  • modpancake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I feel sorry for them, having to bend over backwards to suddenly support a new file-system like that. Hopefully this won't delay the launch of Firefox 2.0 for Windows.
  • justinprine, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Great! Except that I have an intel Mac today. Many open source apps have already been ported to universal binaries before the new systems were released.The "released" build for intel that exists is shady as hell and is filled with problems.
  • riot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the site is on the move right now
  • Fizzyboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Or you could just use Safari which comes with it. Because it works perfectly fine if not better.
  • Stopher, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought it would run through Rosetta?
  • mcgirt, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Firefox on OSX is buggy as hell. It really makes me sad.
  • hayden.evans, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who cares just use safari
  • crobcary, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yes, but will it still have that crappy, faux-Aqua UI that the regular, PowerPC build has?

    Use Camino.
    Or Safari. It is more OS-integrated, which makes sense as it does come with OS X.
  • sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0oh man, i just forgat that prettymuch any program that you have wont work w/ the macbook, 5 [-] 1 7 !!!
  • mikeazorin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0slooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww. They could release it tomorrow, jeez.

    File-system? Get off of digg, idiot.

    Oh, and get Camino. http://caminobrowser.org/
  • deluxndotcom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0To bad FF already works with the intel osx. I have it running on my PC, not very buggy either.
  • shoota, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0dupe.....
  • aoeu2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I'll dig this when I can use the latest version of OS X x86 on my Thinkpad. With wireless access of course...
