KDE Running on Mac OS X 393
GeoffP writes "AppleTalk Australia is running a story on running KDE on Mac OS X. For those that don't know, KDE is a graphical desktop environment used to access your computer's files. Finally, Mac users have a free (as in speech) approach to their filesystem."

Is this an all-time low for a slashdot article? I can't imagine how it can be beaten.
Simple, it'll be duped shortly.

This just in! Mac OS X users can now poke themselves in the eye with a fork. When contacted for comment, the fork manufacturers said "We got no idea why anyone would want to poke themselves in the eye with a fork, but we're all for it! Anything that increases fork sales is a plus for us. Vive la Liberte!"

Yes. All macs since the late 1980s have supported multiple button mice. All macs shipping now come with a 4 button mouse with horizontal and vertical scroller.

If you look at any Apple thread (at least prior to the x86-switching keynote) where it comes up, you'll see 500 apple zealots saying Mac hardware is the same price, faster, and far more reliable than x86 systems, and anyone who replies denying it getting modded down as troll.

That would be teh BESTE APRIL FOOL'S JOKE EVAR. And link to Google searches - for "app," "platform," "category," "verb," and "noun."
That'd be WAY too clever for Slashdot - but I can dream, can't I?

Ah yes, I can see why this truly is the OS for grandmothers everywhere. It's just so intuitive.
Yes, because grandmothers frequently want to take screenshots of their OS X desktops. It comes up all the time. Why just the other day my grandmother called me up asked me how to take screenshots, she needed them for the "how to install KDE on OS X" article she was writing. How I wish that such a commonly needed feature was more intuitively accessible, but alas, Steve Jobs has failed miserably on this one - the whole Mac is unusable, why, just totally unusable. Millions of grandmothers every day boot up their Macs and just stare at the screens not knowing what to do next - the touted usability, it seems, was all just marketing.
Etc. etc.
