Apple today fixed a clause in its licence agreement for Windows users who download its Safari browser — the clause restricted the software to a "single Apple-labeled computer".

"The software allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time," read Apple's Safari-for-Windows software licence yesterday.

Publishers of an Italian legal Web site settleB.IT notified UK tech publication The Register about the error yesterday and have called it a "mockery of end-user agreements".

Apple has since corrected the licence agreement to mention Windows PCs.

In June, Apple began promising Windows users a more colourful Web experience through Safari-for-Windows.

However, Apple was critcised heavily last week from users and Mozilla — maker of the now rival browser, Firefox — for its practice of pre-filling the check box for users to accept Safari-for-Windows as part of its update service for iTunes.

Also, yesterday two flaws were discovered in Safari-for-Windows that were labeled highly critical by security researchers.

U can use Windows xp from parralels in an apple box, so it's okay. 

#include <stdio.h>

#include <xlocale.h>

#include <stdarg.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <string>

int main(int c, char** argv) {

	/* Hello World */

	int   r=0;

	for(int i=0;i<c;i++)

		r+=atoi(argv[i]);

		

	printf("Your age is?\n");

	char stringz[256];

	getline(&stringz, sizeof(stringz), stdin);

	int age=atoi(stringz);

	printf("You will be %d next year & %d the year agetr\n", ++age,++age);

		

	printf("Total sum is %d\n", r);

}
