Am I the only one that noticed that 10.4.5 in the description says it has Portable Home Directory Syncing? Wasn't this a feature of Panther that was dropped? Does this mean it's back?

Oldedit, I have a couple of things to say. First, your [... we've warned about political comments in this thread. Several times. ...]. Second, having been at the launch event, only 2 people asked about the CD requirement. The DVD requirement is CLEARLY stated on the box. It is also on the...

Well, it's all ready there. Right now, it works perfectly fine. The only thing that doesn't look right is the size of the widgets on the menu bar when you do the resize. It works really really well though. I am hoping someone figures out a way to change it on launch so it's like running a higher...

Not that I can see, but I haven't really done a lot of tests on it. One thing that is cool though, is the resolution independent GUI. In the same app, there is a way to control the size of everything in an application.

I found out more information on it. It's not going to be enabled by default for a while. They are planning on making it enabled in a later release though. Do a search on Quartz 2D Extreme to find out more.

Quartz Extreme, and Quartz 2D Extreme are suppose to be totally different. Quartz 2D Extreme is suppose to be the ability to run 2D type work the same way Quartz Extreme does through the GPU bypassing the CPU completely. If you have the Tiger Sessions thing, then you will know what I'm talking...

I actually have a 12 inch powerbook 1.5GHz now. I just haven't updated my signature. If you have xCode Developer Tools installed. Do a Spotlight Search for Quartz Debug. Start up the app, and go under Tools. It should say something along the lines of "Disable Quartz Extreme" and right underneath...

Why is it that Tiger Quartz 2D Extreme is disabled by default when you install tiger?

Does anyone have access to the Yao and Mini Me Powerbook commercial? I have been trying to find it, and can't find it anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated

That probably isn't a good idea, at least not the way RSS and Spotlight work. If you were to do it, I'd recommend creating an RSS application first, that brings in the RSS information, save each RSS post as a separate file, and create a plug in for Spotlight that tells it how to interpret the...

I like the new copy box. The white threw me off at first as well, but it isn't a big deal. I like it because it is about the same size as the 10.3 box when it shows less details, yet it is able to show most of the necessary information. I think the copy box was kind of due for an update...

Define sluggish. The indexing in Spotlight is totally different then the indexing in OS9. In OS9 it indexed the entire computer every few days. In OSX, it indexes a file when it is being saved, and only that file. The first index you go through will be closest to what you would expect during any...

Something I just noticed, but I'm not quite sure about. Is the Weather widget suppose to be transparent? Based on the latest keynote, I kind of assumed it was, but it's hard to tell because of the way it is shown. It isn't on my laptop with the 9200. Can anyone else comment on if the Weather...

No problem.

TexasnPenguine, based on what I saw when tinkering around with Core Image Fun House I'd have to say that you don't really understand how Core Image works. You can do all the effects from Core Image on an iBook, at least so far from what I've messed around with. Now, whether or not it will do the...

I've been playing with the newest Tiger build on an iBook G4 800MHz, with 640MB. It runs great. The biggest difference you'll see between this and what you'll see on a new iMac or Power Mac or Powerbook is really the ripple effect when you add in a new Widget. Thats really about it. I've been...

Will anyone post pictures of the new desktops in Tiger? I know it sounds trivial, but I've heard from someone that theres all new desktop backgrounds that come with the operating system. I hear they look great.

I am not a recent switcher, but I was a switcher nonetheless. I was a heavy Windows power user a few years ago, and I still dabble in it for work reasons, but I still love my Mac. Here are a few tips that I can offer though. Depending on the kind of user you were in Windows, your first start...
