In an effort to make Mac OS X better than ever, Apple has acquired our small company to join the forces of their programming teams. We will not do any specific task, but rather become a new mobile unit, "Panther Hunters", as Mr. Tevanian decided to call us. Being a huge fan of our haxies, he was one of the people in Apple who convinced Mr. Jobs that the company needs our little team. The Panther Hunters will perform various tasks that need to be done quickly through all of the operating system. The first task we were assigned is implement support for recently-released RFC 3514 in the Mac OS X network stack.
We are delighted to be of service to the whole Mac community, and please be assured that we will do every possible effort to make our favorite platform better than ever. I am sure all of us will benefit from this change - our users, Apple, and our unsane team.

Wow! You guys really deseverd this. Working on the network stack seems a waste though. ;)
Posted by: Daniel Von Fange on April 1, 2003 6:56 AMDoes this mean that the Platinum soundset import Haxie will be fully integrated into a future release of OSX as standard or will it stay as an add-on?
Posted by: John McIntyre on April 1, 2003 8:46 AMSo did they buy Unsanity for $7, or the increased price of $10? ;-)
Posted by: Ken on April 1, 2003 9:30 AMJust a sign that Unsanity users are a little smarter than... say... TidBITS readers: nobody wrote in to say, "Noooo! You sold out! Oh noooooo! Waaaaaaaah!" ;-)
Posted by: Rob W on April 1, 2003 10:13 AMI just hope that Apple doesn't put an end to your haxies. Seems Steve doesn’t like Labels and WindowShade or being able to customize the Apple menu.
Posted by: Terri on April 1, 2003 3:42 PMYeah, I bought them so I could kill Window Shade X. I'll buy Microsoft next. I've always wanted a start menu. Let's face it, as far as suckyness goes, the dock is pretty good, but nothing comes even close to the start menu.
Posted by: steve jobs on April 1, 2003 4:03 PMDamn I hate reading blogs/forums on April 1st. Wouldn't mind oyu guys being a bit closer to Apple, in a position to implement yet more haxies directly into the OS (though I guess they'd be features and not haxies then...)
In any event good luck with that evil bit, sounds like it's gonna be difficult to implement fully. But yes the Mac community at large stands to gain a totally secure setup if you can pull this off.
Posted by: mike on April 1, 2003 5:48 PMImplementing RFC 3514 would probably be pretty easy; just have to change setsockopt() and whatever builds IPv4 packets in the kernel.
