I thought I was going insane: Transmission kept giving out Growl-like notifications yet I removed Growl the second after Adobe CS5 finished installing. Kept searching in Activity Monitor and Library but couldn't find anything. Turns out Transmission has its own build-in notifications now. :pinch:

And hopefully it'll begin using the OS X API on ML

I don?t see it listed in the changelog.

Is it because Growl now costs something ? At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released. I wouldn?t be able to stand 3rd-party notifications when Growl is already perfect to me. At least go the native way if Growl is not a solution anymore !

Mist notifications: basic notification support for users without Growl
At least I know Transmission will make good use of the new Notifications Center in Mountain Lion the second it?s released.

Except it won't. Notifications can only be used by App Store apps, which I think is an ******* move of Apple. So unless Transmission is added to the App Store, no notifications for it.

Wow I missed it. Mist notifications, huh?

Yeah, I?m also scared about Transmission being rejected in the App Store. I?m crossing my fingers, because there?s a LOT of legal stuff to download out there with it. I forgot about the part where Notifications could only be used by apps coming from there. Bad move, Apple. They?re only trying to push developers to use the App Store, because there is no technical reason why a non-App Store app won?t be able to use this API.

They should try putting Transmission on the App Store right away to see how the story ends on Apple?s side?

There are so many legit things that are distributed over BitTorrent. There really is no reason why Transmission should be rejected from the App Store, but I have a feeling Apple will never allow it. It would be great to have native Notification Center support in ML.

After digging up a little bit, I have found something that will make .Neo joyous :)

NOT.

More like the opposite in fact.

What Mist notifications are all about : http://growl.info/do...-growl.php#mist

At least they?re not a completely different implementation from Growl. I only can?t believe how intrusive they can be!

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
    • Downloads does not equal actual usage, even less when the app is pre-installed in some Galaxy phones.
    • +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
