Hints turns eight...

Hmm... When you say the pace has slowed lately, do you mean in the past year or what? Maybe you or someone should make a line graph of the hint submissions in the past eight years so we can see how the rate has climbed.

Anyway, congratulations and all.

Here's a chart showing hints per day from inception through today.

As the OS ages, the rate of published hints diminishes, which makes sense: there's less to write about that hasn't been written about already. In the beginning, the entire OS was new. Now we're digging for changes in minor and major updates, with Apple themselves saying that Snow Leopard isn't really about new features, but performance (though I suspect we'll see some new features, too). -rob.
