I'm really, really tempted to install this on my MacBook Air. That Snow Leopard-style Expos? checkbox makes it worth the upgrade alone :laugh:. Anybody (that's not running it on a Hackintosh :p) noticing any weird behavior, or is it pretty stable?

I'm not one to say I suppose, since I don't use my MacBook Pro full time, but it works way beyond my expectations on that machine. I haven't noticed any odd behaviour ever since DP3. If anything it works better (than Lion). It somehow feels like what Windows 7 did to Vista, and Snow Leopard to Leopard.

what is wrong with iWork 09?

It?s 3 if not 4 years old already.

It?s incomplete (only 3 apps). It?s amateur. It lacks features.

The interface elements are too small on today?s resolutions (this problem was already present on its release day).

It has multiple windows (nowadays apps have one single window with moveable and dockable elements, think of Photoshop).

No offensive has been done from Apple when since Office 2011 has been released in 2010, and even way before.

Don?t get me wrong, iWork has potential, if they add new apps to the suite, redo the whole interface and add pro features to it. We?re talking about the biggest company in the world here. But they don?t use it.

No, you get an progress bar on the icon:

Sucks. Every dock icon should have this feature IMO. I mean, so that we can see at a glance if the app is loading something or not, or if it has notifications for you. Dynamic dock icons are one of the best features in OS X IMO. It?s underused.

Well my guess its due to the fact you can have many transfers going at once in Finder, and unlike Safari it doesn't have one unified progress bar on files movement. Each transfer has it's own and Finder never takes the average of those into one icon like Safari's Downloads icon does.

Yea, this is probably something they'll work to implement.

I'm really loving DP3.1. I'm getting really used to it, feels more stable then Lion, but didn't have huge problems in the first place. I can actually really see Notes useful already, loving the iCloud integration.

Couldn't agree more. The Finder's Dock icon should show a progress bar with the average of all file transfers.

I'm sure it's going to be added. It wouldn't be very clever if they didn't. The notification bar is okay, I don't really think that's useful, I never liked it on my iPhone, and I don't really find it useful. I found notification bubbles against the dock icons enough. The new safari is okay, the loading animation is kinda cool, but it just doesn't feel right, it seems as if it's been placed in there to make your pages look like it's being loaded 'super fast', the multi-screen (the opening page of safari with all the open windows) icon needs to be toned down, as it's very black, and doesn't set well against reader and history.

I think it's just temporary anyway because if Safari is un-active, the icon is still pitch black, showing it hasn't faded.

When new updates for the DP come out, are they listed when you Check for software updates on your mac?

When the newest one (Developer Preview 3 Update 1) came out, you would click 'Check for software updates' and it would open up the Mac App Store and it'll open from there on. All the software updates will be managed in the App Store when it hits retail, although it seems to take just as long to process any updates, for example, in the past it used to have to take quite a long time whilst it was checking your system before it would retrieve a list of the updates you're eligible for.

I wonder if we will see a new seed update or DP this week......seems like we are seeing them more often now.

Devs already have a solid version to develop on IMO.

So I don?t think we?ll see anything else before WWDC. Apple must be wrapping up the big features in their upcoming Developer Preview.

Hmm 'Screen Sharing' in Skype doesn't seem to work, just crashes when the screen share initiates. Also hate how Contacts is REQUIRED for Trillian to run or else it'll just crash. Otherwise, it's been pretty solid for the past few days. I've dumped Lion on an external and copied the DP over to my main HD using Carbon Copy Cloner, I'm finding Notes really useful for syncing data back and forth, and I can also work on them before I sleep. (on my phone)

The EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) division of AppleCare is allegedly hiring and training new staff on certain aspects of Apple's upcoming OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, possibly hinting that a release date is soon to arrive.

    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game, it's up to the developer to set it up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
