Fresh from the Test Center: Apple’s Leopard upgrades are extensive enough to warrant a second look. Part I of Tom Yager’s preview looked at Xray and Core Animation; Part II heads over to the developer side with an examination of Xcode 3.0 and upgrades to -C 2.0 language.

A quest for Quest’s rationale: Sean McCown has been waiting for Quest to release LiteSpeed for Oracle for a long time – waiting for years, in fact. So when he heard that this product was headed for the garbage bin, he wasn’t thrilled. Why deny users the chance for unified database backups across all their platforms?

Watch our four-part video interview to learn more about how Kaiser’s project evolved, what went wrong, and what went right.
