I'm sure the dmg will be in the download file somewhere. Hasn't that been the case in the dev previews?

I believe so, yes, but it wasn't like you were simply downloading a disk image. You had to open the file you download and extract the disk image. It was a fair bit of work, something that I don't see the average Mac user doing.

I think the benefits of digital distribution far outweigh the negatives, but there are still times when using a physical install medium is the ideal way to go.

diskless os installs... eh i'm disappointed in that, because your HD can fail and then how do you reinstall an OS on a blank drive? and don't give me the obvious apple answer "go to the apple store genius" stuff... I'm talking about large companies here...

i want expose in iOS. android has it...

I want multitasking like WP7. Double-tap on the home button would take you to a screen similar to iOS Safari tabs.

I'm sure Apple will have an alternative way. After all, you can't do NetInstall with MAS images. You could upgrade one Mac, image it, and to NetBoot/NetRestore with that, but it seems clunky.

Looks like the rumors are true about what the notification sytem was going to look like. It's just like Androids and I like it.

hmm meh, maybe ill like it more when i see it in motion and use it... but really, i think they should have put it in the space above the multitasking bar

just to use the wasted space (as well as save us from a bit of noise from the fandroids :p)

now they are showing full tabbed browsing in iOS,

another thing I find ironic, going backwards as far as tabbed browsing I feel

For so long I had wondered why browsers didn't have tabs like this originally, and it made sense because of the whole touch aspects

All looks very similar, I don't massively like the look of the new mail app at all, seems too much like a tablet app rather than one designed for people with 1000s of mails, it would take a long time to go through it with that view, nor do I like the fact it won't be available on DVD, even if it was ?10 more on DVD it'd at least provide an option: and finally, this obsession with the cloud and streaming frankly scares me, I want hard copies of my files that aren't online thanks

Really nothing special with the keynote so far, maybe it's just I was expecting Apple to at least catch up with the competition :/

anyone else notice that's not an iphone 4 they are showing everything on?

It is an iPhone 4, just they've changed the icons.

well, don't know, most of the third party browsers i've ignored as they just feel like a desktop browser on the ipad, not a browser build of the ipad (using sleipnir right now, pretty awesome) but if it solves safaris problem of having only 9 tabs ill gladly use the tabs and safari

edit: wow the dictionary feature looks awesome!

split keyboard, looking nice, looks like MS wasn't alone with that idea :p

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations

      By Abercrombe · Posted

      Call me when you can say, "Find all duplicate rows with duplicate email addresses and move the duplicate rows to a new sheet", and Copilot can execute that and not give you VBScript to write to do it. If anyone thinks AI isn't in its infancy and the bubble is about to burst, try to do anything meaningful in Excel with Copilot and you will realize AI hasn't even made it to kindergarten in most use cases yet.
