Why would it mean that? It's a myth that Snow Leopard was a bug fix release. Mac OS X 10.6.0 was much buggier than 10.5.8, indeed brought several new severe bugs. However, Mac OS X 10.6 received two years of minor bug fix updates after

A number of comments have suggested lead poisoning, but I think that's far too facile an answer. Perhaps it explains a bit, but does lead poisoning make you prefer original movies to sequels or to have better musical taste? If so, I sa

It should be needless to say that oranges are more than just juice.

Are you obese? I suppose that for any given action, there's likely always someone who will do it, but in any case a bag of oranges has significantly different nutritional properties than a bag of chips. How many oranges are we talking
