Favorite bug of
the day

Interesting there have been long threads on the mailing list about the
content of the “ransom notes”[*] and even one of the default desktop
backgrounds in the beta. For those that haven’t installed the beta,
the background in question is a nice photo of a dragonfly of some
sort. Apparently the idea of having a “bug” as a background for
the beta went over most folks heads.

And the thread about what exactly a cheetah flip is, and why
there is a reference to it in the installer is meandering quite randomly.
One of the other ransom notes mentioned a cheetah flip.

[*] of course, the use of the term “ransom notes” to describe those
little images that take up unused screen space doing doesn’t make
sense to most people, including “insiders” anymore. But it’s such
a fun term.
