Pre Steve Jobs, Apple had this wonderful technology called Hotsauce/Meta Content Framework that somewhat evolved into XML.

1. What happened to it?

2. Does this not seem like a technology that could be expanded upon?

[turtle777]

Uh, I have nerver heard of it.

HotSauce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I remember that. Played around with it for a bit, but never really saw the point.

[Kevin]

Yeah I remembered it too. Thought it was really cool at the time. The corners were really bitmapped and ugly though.

I imagine whatever it was it could do, (I can't really remember... ) probably can be done now with something else. Maybe flash?

[Doofy]

Never heard of it.

I've heard of Nut Sauce, but don't need it because I have excellent equipment.

[turtle777]

Discountinued 10 years ago.

I'm sure if it was somewhat useful, we would have seen some sort of resurrection by now.

[Chuckit]

Looks rather useless, honestly.

[moonmonkey]

I tried it, then dumped it.

[- - e r i k - -]

It was never ever useful. Was available as a netscape plugin if I remember, back in the days when Virtual Reality was the Hot Shit™. It only served to prove how incredibly lame 3D interfaces on a 2D plane are.

Totally. Tapatio is my favorite by far. Sadly it's not nearly as easy to find here in Boston as it was in San Francisco. The one place I was able to get it before apparently doesn't stock it anymore.

At some point I'm going to have to head down the street to the grocery store called 'Gol!'. I figure if anywhere is going to have it, it's there.

In order to keep myself better informed, I have a question for you colonials over there in North Mexico...

You're posting all these pics of hot sauces which I've never heard of, but just how hot are they? Are they just a bit tangy or are we talking your brains dribbling out through your nostrils and reconstructive surgery on the roof of your mouth?

Neither Cholula or Tapatio are excessively spicy. Well, that depends on your comfort level, I suppose. But regardless, they aren't brain-melters for most people. They both, however, taste quite good. Tapatio has, in my opinion, the best flavor of any hot sauce I've ever tried. It's far from the spiciest, but most of the time I'm going for flavor.

I've also got a bottle of a scotch-bonnet based hot sauce that I brought back from Jamaica. It's both very spicy and quite tasty. But it's not the right flavor for most of the foods I make (usually either Mexican or Asian style, I haven't quite got the hang of making my own goat curry ...yet).

[sknapp351]

Every time I move, I am terrified that I won't be able to find Tapatio. Luckily, I have found it from Florida to New Jersey and all in between.

I liked this technology very much, while I agree that it served no useful purpose. I guess it was scrapped before we could realize its full potential. I remember using it for my website back in the late 90s. I guess we can say Apple resurrected a part of it with Time Machine.. They share a similar cosmic background, and you can "float" back and forth while browsing your data...

[Shaddim]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

I'd like to be macho and say Scorned Woman is just zesty and flavorful, but I can't. It's really damned hot. I have a very high tolerance for spicy foods and I can drink a bottle of Tabasco, but a teaspoon of SW leaves me almost incapacitated. No, it's not like tasting capsaicin oil, but it'll tighten your sphincter.

That's it!
Yah, Woman Scorned was pretty much unpalatable. Just hot, with some more hot, and then some extra hot tossed in for good measure. Ended up not tasting the food I put it on.

Seems to me that if they wanted to increase Safari marketshare they would update the technology, organize it better, and include it.

They could also have a plugin for IE or Firefox users.

-just a thought

[Chuckit]

Seems like if they wanted to increase Safari marketshare, almost anything would be a better use of their time. Seriously, who in the world ever cared about this program? I'd never even heard about it, and I've been a loyal Apple user since 1984.

Well then. If I fail to find a place where I can buy it here in Boston (though I've got to be able to get it somewhere around here, one of my favorite restaurants is a Salvadoran place down the street and they have a bottle one very table), I guess I can always go visit family in New Jersey and pick up a few bottles.

Yes. Seriously. WTF?

[IceEnclosure]

Frank, an American visiting Texas, was invited to be one of the judges at a chili cook-off. He was assured by the other two judges that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy -- and besides -- they told him he could have free beer during the tasting.

Here are the scorecards from the event:




Chili # 1: Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili



Judge one: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.


Judge two: Nice, smooth tomato flavor Very mild.


Frank: Holy smokes, what is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst one. These people are crazy.

----------------------

Chili # 2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili

Judge one: Smoky (barbecue?) with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.

Judge two: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.

Frank: Keep this out of reach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. Shoved my way to the front of the beer line. The barmaid looks like a professional wrestler after a bad night. She was so
irritated over my gagging sounds that the snake tattoo under her eye started to twitch. She has arms like Popeye and a face like Winston Churchill. I will NOT pick a fight with her.

-----------------------

Chili # 3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili

Judge one: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.

Judge two: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of red peppers.

Frank: This has got to be a joke. Call the EPA, I've located a uranium
spill. My nose feels like I have been sneezing Drano. Everyone knows the
routine by now and got out of my way so I could make it to the beer wagon.
Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my
chest. She said her friends call her "Sally." Probably behind her back they
call her "Forklift."

-----------------------

Chili # 4: Bubba's Black Magic



Judge one: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.


Judge two: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.


Frank: I felt something scraping across my tongue but was unable to taste it. Sally was standing behind me with fresh refills so I wouldn't have to dash over to see her. When she winked at me her snake sort of coiled and uncoiled ... it's kind of cute.

----------------------

Chili # 5: Linda's Legal Lip Remover

Judge one: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground adding considerable kick. Very impressive.

Judge two: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.

Frank: My ears are ringing and I can no longer focus my eyes. I belched and four people in front of me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed hurt when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue by pouring beer directly on it from a pitcher. Sort of irritates me that one of the other judges asked me to stop screaming.

----------------------

Chili # 6: Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety

Judge one: Thin yet b. Good balance of spice and peppers.

Judge two: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.

Frank: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous flames. No
one wants to stand behind me except Sally. I asked if she wants to go
dancing later.

----------------------

Chili # 7: Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili

Judge one: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.

Judge two: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef threw in canned chili peppers at the last moment.

Frank: You could put a hand grenade in my mouth and pull the pin and I wouldn't feel it. I've lost the sight in one eye and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My clothes are covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth at some point. Good, at the autopsy they'll know what killed me. Go Sally, save yourself before it's too late. Tell our children I'm sorry I was not there to conceive them. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful and I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air I'll just let it in through the hole in my stomach. Call the X-Files people and tell them I've found a super nova on my tongue.

Poblano Hot Sauce



Very tasty, and not vinegar or water with peppers in it, it's the other way around. The Salsa Ranchera is soooo ****in good on pork. Had it on grilled chops last night as a matter of fact.

If you're only after fire in a bottle, this isn't it, but it is spicy and more importantly flavorful.

If Safari came out in 1996.... Chuckit is right. Not many people knew about this. Or cared. I was instantly amused because of my GUI design interest. After playing with the idea for a day I scrapped it.

Ooh, sounds good. I'll have to give it a try. Poblano peppers are good.

Oh, Poblano is the brand name. That particular sauce is primarily habañero.

Well it looks like the Mozilla people are taking the concept and running with it. Too bad.

Oh crap! Now I see what this topic was originally about. I just remembered it being about hot sauces.

You mean it looks like some graphic designers affiliated with Mozilla came up with a concept video that's been excoriated by everyone who's seen it. Only now their version isn't just useless, it's useless and an engineering and UI nightmare.

Sriracha is amazing. It seems to come in varying heat levels that don't seem to be readily advertised on the bottle. I bought a bottle at a chinese grocer and it's SERIOUS. Other bottles I've had are pretty tame.

I think the squirt bottle has less heat than the glass jarred version.

Aside from traditional uses, it's great on pizza!

[Stogieman]

And Burritos!

[Kerrigan]

I like hot sauce on Mexican food. Other than that, I just use it to cover up deficiency in flavor.

As for the software, I have been using Macs sin I was a wee bairnie lad an I've never used sich a thin.

[Big Mac]

I was just talking about Hotsauce with my brother today. . . .

[funkboy]

I think we were a hair away from Fat Barry visiting this thread...

[IceEnclosure]

I think he'd speak about how he doesn't let his dates eat spicy dinners because later in the evening he plans to...

[- - e r i k - -]

The best hotsauce is obviously:



REDBACK Pleasure & Pain Gold Label
"Redback Pleasure & Pain Chilli Sauce" A Very Hot sauce, voted Australia's hottest sauce peoples choice 1999 &
Jugded 2nd for Best Habanero the same day. Also won
1st Place Peoples choice 2002 Houston Hot Sauce Festival.
3Rd place Houston Hot Sauce 2004 Hot Wing Sauce

Still classed as one of the HOTTEST natural sauces available
HEAT RATING: 10/10 SIZE: 150 ml PRICE: $10.00


…and yet I would rather pour this directly into my eyeballs than to muck around with that "made for movies" "interface".
