“Trembling, he waited for the terror to abate, and Khadija held him in her arms, soothing him and trying to take his fear away. All the sources emphasise Muhammad’s profound dependence on Khadija during this crisis. ”

So, I’ll give the short explanation now since I’m short on time, but I may come back later to expand on things… Basically, the app was looking for libpng in a random place and wasn’t finding it, and so wouldn’t run at all! The install image only contained Qt (as it should, since libpng is already on here in at least one place. I have fink installed with its /sw directory so I used the libpng located there…).
Initially I tried actually editing the vbrfixqt4 binary with a hexeditor to tell it where to look, but once I fixed that it was the Qtgui framework that gave the libpng error… So rather than go messing around with a hex editor in the /Library directory, I decided to just make a symbolic link.
So… My libpng library was located at /sw/lib/libpng.3.dylib (which actually was a link to libpng.3.1.2.8.dylib, but I kept things simple and just used libpng.3, which also protects against future upgrades of libpng3 breaking things.)
So first I made the directory it was looking for:
mkdir /opt
mkdir /opt/local
mkdir /opt/local/lib
Then, create the link.
cd /opt/local/lib
ln -s /sw/lib/libpng.3.dylib
Done! Now everything works fine!
This should also work if you link to the OSX libpng library, which you can find using spotlight. I found one in something called the Mono framework, which I didn’t really investigate, but I suppose could be part of OSX? (Since OSX has native png support? I’m in over my head here…)
But anyways, now the app works!

Schwarzenegger sells his Hummers, pals around with NYC Mayor Bloomberg:
Had your doubts that California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R) was walking his green talk? Oh, he’s walking all right — the guv has sold his eight Hummers. It was Schwarzenegger who originally convinced then-manufacturer AM General to make a version of the hulking vehicles for the civilian market, and in …

So yeah, it’s sexy, though many people have been complaining about the UI, I like it. And the new browsing features are cool too. But it’s SLOW. And when I try to quit, it HANGS…>! And doesn’t even force quit!

My brain floats behind my eyes,
a storm of sparks
thrown from woven currents—
A writhing mass of computational fury.
An enigma; yet just as bound
by the laws of the flesh;
We only fool ourselves to think it escapes
this physical reality.
The observer sees my particular set
of actions, reactions, expressions;
This is all that defines me.
There is no abstract
I
floating somewhere in grey static space.
I
am merely a fragile pattern,
set amidst the chronologic noise
of human existence.

Aaaand the best definition award goes to… Wikipedia! (no, not even Wiktionary)
Jealousy is an emotion experienced by one who perceives that another person is giving something that s/he wants (typically attention, love, or affection) to a third party. For example, a child will likely become jealous when her parent gives sweets to a sibling but not to her. While the child’s jealousy might be assuaged if she also received candy from the parent, such is typically not the case for a jealous lover, who wants the beloved to give some kinds of attention exclusively to him.
