The demon is supposed to check for updates on any widgets and informs the users if any of them is out of date.

Taking a closer look at it one can see that the demon is just getting two files from the apple site but not submitting any sensitive data.

Wine has been around for linux quite some time.
But now it is possible to install it on Intel Macs to run Microsoft Windows software without having to install or boot into Windows.
codeweaver seems to be close to accomplishing this job with their Crossover Office.

To get the extra buttons of the Microsoft Trackball Explorer to work some minor edits must be done.

First check your Xorg.conf and adjust the InputDevice section

Just a couple days old Qunu already attracted lots auf users, being still alpha.

On the page http://www.qunu.com/en/index.html you can search for real time help to you problem and the system will hook you up via jabber to someone able to help you.

- 31,000+ searches
- 1,500 expertise tags
- 3,550+ help sessions donated

Looks like a good start for the page.
