Bonjour, Mon ami: Automatic Service Discovery in Tiger

摘要

When Apple released Mac OS X 10.2 in August of 2002, it included a somewhat obscure networking technology dubbed Rendezvous. Nearly than three years later with the release of OS X 10.4 Tiger, Mac users have said au revoir to Rendezvous and hello to Bonjour because of a trademark infringement lawsuit against Apple by Tibco Software. The new name for Rendezvous was to be OpenTalk, which had a familiar, warm Classic Mac OS ring, but instead, we walk around with a frog in our throat, lips shaped like the Texas border, trying to emulate an uncomfortable accent.- Every time I say the B-word I have visions of Pepe LePew sticking his head out of a doorway and exclaiming, "Bonjour, mon amour, embrasse-moi." Freaky.
