Tech: Philips liquid camera lens; Macromedia on Linux

Afternoon tech news: Philips said today it had invented a tiny digital camera lens to fit inside a mobile phone that could focus on objects and create sharp pictures in ways that are similar to the human eye; US intelligence officials revealed that more than a dozen Al Queda suspects were tracked and monitored using "anonymous" prepaid SIM cards. ; Macromedia will soon begin tweaking its development tools to run on Linux PCs. Computer Associates has licensed The SCO Group Inc.'s Intellectual Property License for Linux, leaving some wondering what if anything was licensed, given that SCO's claims have yet to be tested in court.

US intelligence needs an ounce of intelligence before running around and arresting people.

Macromedia's lead. In fact, with Linux gaining more market share than Apple I bet more software companies will focus their priorities to Linux. If so, are these Linux applications compatible with OS X? I really hate to see us Mac community left in the dark. (More delays and substandard version / upgrades.)
What's the latest on Darwin?

I pretty much doubt if Linux apps are compatible with OS X especially since Linux apps runs under Intel based PCs. So unless the RISC processors becomes staple among non-APple PCs or Apple produces desktops using Intel processors, we could expect less and less support from software companies.
