No. I disagree completely. Apple drives innovation. And they are not in the business of competing with Microsoft. Apple is a niche player and innovates independently in its own market. If you look at the developments and features that went in to Jaguar and then Panther in the last few...

From what I am hearing, the release of Tiger is not going to be like last releases (with the announcement in Steve Jobs' keynote followed by the OS release a couple of months later). Apparently the innovations featured in OS 10.4 (some are even referring to it as 10.5) are so advanced that...

I was very impressed with the prototype I saw at the January Consumer Electronics Show of the upcoming Sony "Take-Anywhere" television. It was a flat panel screen (about 14 inches) with a built-in lithium ion battery, a retractable handle and a picture frame-like stand on the back. The base...

I don't think there is any conspiracy afoot and I think it is unreasonable for people to think that Apple is punishing them for not upgrading to the newer operating system. Based on new advances in Panther, Apple was able to release a new version of Safari that takes advantage of these...

I'm pleased that Apple addressed the issue of Safari 1.2 features being a result of Pather advances as I was tired of so many Jaguar users whining about this. You paid $129 for the technology advances that Jaguar offerred and you have enjoyed the benefits of that OS. If you want to experience...

My experience of the last 24 hours is that Safari feels faster. Graphics seem to render to the screen much more quickly than before.

I remember a Jaguar update, from not too long ago, that was over 50MB and I thought that was big. 275MB is huge! Perhaps one of the largest of this type that I have seen. But that's good because it means they have addressed a lot of improvements.

This combined updater actually requires 275MB of space. Or at least it did on my Powerbook. And I am certain everything was up-to-date before I did this install. Safari 1.2 (v125) does come along with this update. Paranthetically, Mail is now 1.3.4 (v613). Forgot to check and see what it...

I'm sure that all of you guys who say that you would have kept the extra G5 without feeling badly about it would be whining like little bitches a week later when Apple inventory discovered their error and added a second charge to your credit card. I mean, these things have serial numbers and...

You did the right and honorable thing by pointing out their mistake and returning the Mac. In these days when everyone selfishly scrambles for themselves at every opportunity, it really affirms a civil society when you think and act selflessly. You could have easily kept the computer. But it...

Looks like we're really getting down to the wire. They are adding animations and new graphic stuff now that most of the bugs have been worked out of the infrastructure. Further speed optimizations are rumored to be screaming. My guess is that we will see 7B81 by sometime tomorrow.

7B59 did seem a bit buggier than some of the builds immediately before it. However, I've just installed 7B68 and is running really smoothly and without any noticable bugs. Very stable. Speed is zippy (as have been past builds). From version number updates I can see that Address Book, iSync...

A couple more things about Panther build 7B53 that I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere. I noticed today that when I got a roll-down screen, for secure entry into a password-protected website, and I accidentally hit the caps lock key, a subtle little up arrow appeared in the field where I was...

I'm still running build 7B53 and I just noticed that Apple issued a "Test Software Update 2.0" in the Software Updater app. It ran and installed very quickly. I immediately checked the version number of the software and it is still 7B53 (the first Test Software Updater took me from 7A179 to...

Could someone who is a developer please report a bug for me? When I am using my Sigma SD-9 digital camera with build 7B53 (iBook G3 700 dual USB) and the Sigma Software drivers, I get a kernel panic whenever I connect the camera with the Firewire cable. I can use the USB cable without a...

I did not have time to download all three 7B39 discs and I read in a forum that the third disc of the 7B39 install could be installed later. So I did my installation and stopped after disc 2. My mac restarted and everything workked fine. Many of the bugs from the previous build seemed to be...

7B28 differences/issues: First, this build installed over 7B21 (upgrade option) with no problem which was a great relief. Blue progress bar in the installer is broken (flashes black and white as has been reported by others earlier). Things feel a touch zippier since 7B21 (which was already...
