A demonstration about how OS X ships curl but not wget. Essentially he's just running

    which {curl,wget}
to demonstrate that curl is in $PATH where as the shell cannot find wget (since we're talking about base installs it's safe to assume that the aforementioned utilities should be in $PATH by default - if included at all).

Thanks, that makes sense now.
