So, I was browsing through the full 200-feature list of 10.4 Tiger ( http://www.apple.com/macosx/newfeatures/over200.html )
And found a bunch of random features you DON'T hear getting hyped that I think are cool.
Thank God! I can't stand it when the dummies who encoded the wide-screen movie encode the black bars into the actual video track, making the actual video track more TV-ratio, thus making my PowerBook's wide-screen useless.
Ooh! Handy!
What the...? How the heck does it do that? Think it'll make my battery last longer than just two hours?
Oh goody.
Neat... but... what I'd like is a screensaver that does this with various news sources like CNN and BBC....
Finally, the computer is slowly getting smarter.
Well then... guess I'll just have to... become rich so I can get one of the new-fangled-fancy-dancy cameras....
AND FINALLY...
Oh goody! Now it's even EASIER for the printer companies to rip me off with over-priced ink cartridges!
YAY! The Puzzle Desk Accessory is back from system 7! Now, back with a vengance!
