	Apple - Mac OS X - Overview - Aqua User Interface
		Known as Aqua, the Mac OS X interface presents title bars with the eye-pleasing look of brushed metal, brightly colored buttons that immediately signal their functions and crisp, photo-realistic icons that appear almost graspable.
		Mac OS X lets you do just that — with Automator, an innovative new application that allows you to easily automate time-consuming, repetitive, manual tasks with just a few mouse clicks.
		Mac OS X features Fast User Switching, which lets different users of the same Mac, with just one click, switch to their desktop with all their applications and documents exactly as they left them.

	AskTog: OS X, a First Look
		OS X is not being taste-tested on a variety of users; it is being taste-tested on a single user: Steve Jobs.
		OS X, as it is being presented, is filled with lots of pretty pictures, enabling the well-rehearsed Demo Dolly to dance around the interface to the delight of the audience.
		OS X represents an opportunity for positive change and growth, but it is not an opportunity to arm-twist people into working in a new way just because it seems like a good idea.

	Mac OS X
		Mac OS X is the most significant update to the Mac OS since the release of Mac OS 7.0.
		Aqua's most obvious new feature is the Dock, a large bar which sits at the bottom of the desktop and allows one to access applications, folders, and web addresses with a single click.
		Mac OS X features a Classic Environment for running applications that are not native to Mac OS X. This environment runs a modified version of Mac OS 9.1.

	Salon Technology \| Taste-testing Aqua (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Mac screen's ubiquity in the media was no coincidence, nor was it some kind of poetic justice based on the Mac's groundbreaking role as the first -- and most thoughtfully designed -- graphic interface to click with a mass market of users.
		Macs have always made it easier for users to organize big archives of image files and to plug in peripheral devices like scanners and extra disks.
		Aqua is, basically, an attempt to remake the Macintosh screen in the curvaceous-plastic iMac mold, and it nabbed most of the attention at Macworld.

	Aqua (Mac OS X) - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
		Aqua es el nombre comercial de la apariencia de la interfaz gráfica de usuario del sistema operativo Mac OS X de Apple Computer.
		Existe una serie de utilerías, aplicaciones y técnicas utilizadas para "emular" la interfaz Aqua en sistemas distintos al Mac OS X. Un ejemplo de utilidad para Linux es kompose/skippy, ksmoothdock/gkrellm/SuperKaramba.

	Aqua: My Take on Mac OS X's Interface
		A quick aside: Mac OS X is a complete rewrite of the Macintosh operating system which (finally) provides heavy-duty features like pre-emptive multitasking and protected memory, thereby making it a lot more stable and responsive.
		In the current Mac OS, you occasionally want to hide windows that are obscuring things on the desktop, but with the dock and the new Finder, there isn't much reason to put things on the desktop.
		Mac OS X has a new Finder, which Apple claims is much improved.

	creativepro.com - The Classic Environment
		Carbon is an adaptation of Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X that makes it relatively easy for developers to move their applications to the new OS.
		As with previous installments of this series, this is not a hands-on evaluation of Classic or Mac OS X. Mac OS X Developer Preview 4 (DP4), the current pre-release version, is officially available only to developers who have signed non-disclosure agreements that restrict their ability to discuss the OS.
		Mac OS X uses HFS+ as its default format, and supports HFS-formatted media as well, but the new OS also allows use of UFS media as an option, unless you're saving files from a classic application.

	Mac OS X System Architecture
		Mac OS X is a uniquely powerful development platform, supporting multiple development technologies including UNIX, Java, the proprietary Cocoa and Carbon runtime environments, and a host of open source, web, scripting, database, and development technologies.
		Mac OS X Tiger also offers powerful user technologies like Spotlight and Dashboard that can be exploited by developers in their applications.
		Aqua is the overall appearance and behavior of Mac OS X. Aqua defines the standard appearance of specific user interface components such as windows, menus, and controls.

	Mac OS X 10.0 - Page 1 - (03/2001) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Mac OS X was released on March 24th, 2001, with a suggested retail price of $129 and a version number of 10.0.
		Despite the (comparatively) minor market requirements hiccup of the Rhapsody strategy, the Mac OS X project proceeded with what can only be described as single-minded determination, from its official announcement in May of 1998 to its first release in March of 2001.
		While Mac users from 1994 to 1996 were treated to optimistic articles and future-world mock-ups in enthusiast publications like MacWorld and MacUser magazine, Mac OS X has been analyzed by a much wider audience.

		Clearly, emulating OS X is an engaging hobby for a significant number of Windows XP users.
		The most popular download on the site is currently a set of ersatz OS X icons, Xanthic's Ti IP.

	ATPM 6.02 - Paradigm: Mac OS X: Aqua Included
		Aqua is certainly the nicest looking interface I have seen, and it makes Windows look like the ugly stacks of grey rectangles that it is. Aqua is vaguely reminiscent of the original Macintosh interface.
		In Mac OS 9, Sherlock’s feature set is adequate for my needs, although regular expression and Boolean searching would be nice, but I rarely use it because of its speed (or lack thereof).
		Making their custom interface elements fit with the Aqua look may be especially difficult, because it is so much more complex than knowing which shade of grey to make buttons and which size font to use.

	Cliff Diving: Moving to Mac OS X
		Mac OS X has excellent support for PostScript laser printers; inkjet printer support is up to the manufacturer of the inkjet, and ranges from excellent to no support at all.
		Mac OS X, obviously, is different, but Apple's very pretty but very brief documentation doesn't really provide much in the way of clues as to how all of this is supposed to work.
		In short: the key to using Mac OS X is to recognize that it really is new and different, and don't try to force it to work like Mac OS 7.5, or 8.6, or even 9.1.

	Apple - Mac OS X - X11
		Prior to the introduction of Mac OS X, virtually the only way developers could create a graphical application in a UNIX-based operating system was with the X Window System, more commonly called X11.
		X11 for Mac OS X takes advantage of the Mac OS X Quartz graphics system to deliver hardware-accelerated 2D and 3D graphics.
		Beneath the surface of Mac OS X lies an industrial-strength UNIX foundation hard at work to ensure that your computing experience remains free of system crashes and compromised performance.

		This article will review Jobs' Mac OS X GUI demonstration and explain the underlying technology that makes it possible, emphasizing what is so new and different about it, and what it means for Mac users and PC users alike.
		Nothing has really changed since Mac OS X was first announced over a year ago, but the naming, emphasis, and ordering of the blocks has been altered to suit Apple's marketing goals.

	Macworld: Take Command of Mac OS X
		Underneath its candy-coated Aqua interface, Mac OS X is based on Unix, an operating system that dates back to 1969.
		Although the HFS+ file system used by Mac OS X isn't as strict, using consistent capitalization is a good habit to get into, especially because OS X can mount volumes (either over the network or locally) whose file systems are case sensitive (for example, UFS).
		Many Mac files have spaces in their names, so it's useful to know how to handle this situation on the command line as well.

	Mac OS X delivers clean, refreshing Aqua
		Mac OS X represents a fundamental and long-overdue restructuring of the Macintosh environment.
		Mac OS X's pre-emptive multitasking is a joy to anyone accustomed to the (not very) cooperative multitasking used by current versions of Mac OS and Windows.
		Aqua allows developers to section off pieces of the screen display into disappearing "drawers" and better integrates dialog boxes with their parent windows.

		And, according to Munz, under Mac OS X, it will be available as a text service (making it available to any application that uses text services).
		He thinks iControl will be a big hit on Mac OS X as people will be very interested in removing some of the glitz to be more productive.
		From a user perspective, it seems like they are modules that load into Mac OS that make the boot up process take longer and use up more memory, and provide some service that may or may not be used, he adds.

	Kill OS X's Aqua
		Mac OS X can get confused and when designating Startup Disk privileges to Mac OS 9.1, and when Mac OS 9.1 boots, it may get confused and mess with OS X. Basically, you eventually get a huge mess and have to reformat your drive.
		An advantage of using UFS is that Mac OS 9.x won’t mount the partition as a volume on the desktop.
		An advantage to use HFS+ is that the Mac OS can see the drive, mount it on the desktop, and boot to it after selecting it in the Startup Disk control panel.
