  Apple Heroes and Villains: Hero: Guy L. 'Bud' Tribble
Bud Tribble is a polymath, holding a medical degree and a Ph.D. in biophysics, which he worked on while also serving as the manager of the Macintosh software team.

Tribble is a genius for naming, and is credited with dubbing Steve Jobs' personality a "reality-distortion field," as well as christening the Finder.

There has been a lot of talk in the press recently about how secure Mac OS X really is and how much Mac users have to be concerned about security.

 Scientific computing: Apple's next big leap? | InfoWorld | News | 2003-10-24 | By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service
Tribble, one of the designers of the original Macintosh user interface, said that with the advent of the Power Mac G5 and the OS X operating system, the Macintosh now has the Unix backbone, 64-bit processing power, Windows interoperability, and open source credibility to be a viable computing platform in the life sciences space.
Because OS X is based on the BSD (Berkeley System Distribution) version of Unix, developers are able to take advantage of the wide array of open source applications written for Unix, Tribble said.
They are also able to create open source applications, like the iMOL molecular visualizer software that take advantage of the Macintosh's Aqua user interface.

 As the Apple Turns: Reruns: Scene 3495: From Episode dated 1/9/2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
For those of you unfamiliar with that fascinatingly personable name, Doc Tribble was the manager of the "original Macintosh Software team" and he "helped to design the Mac OS and user interface" back in the olden days.
Tribble has returned to Apple from Eazel, one of the more well-known companies that went bust trying to bring Linux to the masses by grafting a decent user interface on top of the command line.
In any case, we hope that Mac users of all creeds and levels of fanaticism will welcome Bud back into the fold; we're sure that, arguments of "Mac-like" versus "NeXT-like" aside, he'll be a valuable force in making Mac OS X even better.

 Sun and Microsoft offer judge differing lessons on Java - Java World
Bud Tribble and Greg DeMichillie put slide projector, video footage, and white board to use in making their cases before Ronald Whyte
Microsoft has released products that do not conform to those standards, compromising Java's ability to create programs that run on any operating system, Bud Tribble, vice president of architecture and technology for Sun's embedded systems group, told the court.
In its tutorial, Microsoft emphasized what it characterized as shortcomings in Sun's Java technology, and defended its right to enhance its products in a way that allows developers to put more functionality into the Java programs they build.

 Sun, Microsoft offer judge differing lessons on Java
But the tutorials offered to Judge Whyte clearly were designed to buttress arguments the two sides have indicated they will make at those hearings.
Sun's Tribble told the judge Microsoft has introduced extra features into its Java products that are not included in Sun's Java specification.
In particular, Tribble said, Microsoft has developed its own Java Native Interface (JNI) -- a technology that allows a Java applet to tunnel down and interface with a system's operating system in order to take advantage of features native to that platform.
