A Man and his Penguin

It runs Mac OS X, right?

These days, Mac OS X requires a Firewire port. I mean, it literally won’t boot up without one. Apple says it’s an essential system requirement for the operating system to run.

The iPhone has no Firewire port, nor even a Firewire controller. So how is it running Mac OS X?

Apple says that Mac OS X is Unix. But if so, it’s the world’s first Firewire-dependent Unix. Not even Microsoft Windows (another certified Unix, believe it or not) requires a Firewire port.

The App Store has Cromag Rally. It was a kinda fun game back in 1999, but why would people pay money for it these days? And if you think tilting the iPhone left and right to control the game is revolutionary, maybe you should look at one of the Kirby games for the Game Boy Colour?
