You have to admit, this is probably the most charming way to illustrate a hex number :) But, do you want me to remove it? If so, just let me know and I'll take it down ASAP. Yet of course, I'd be sad ;) Hey there. You have to admit, this is probably the most charming way to illustrate a hex number :)

Yet of course, I’d be sad ;)

The interesting bottom line is: a) It was Sun who "stole" the magic number and b) Universal Binaries are far away from being a "new" concept.

If they wanted to pull the same joke, they could have taken another of the many ‘funny’ hexadecimal numbers. I think the worst part is that now universal binaries can not be distinguished from java class files anymore. Why the hell is there a magic number at all, then. ~Grauw Kinda lame that they copied Java’s magic number.
