I'm becoming increasingly more annoyed by the fact iLife and iWork haven't seen any significant updates either.

iWork 2013 and iLife 2013 would be awsome! You know what really bothers me as of late? The damn 20% low battery pop up. It's the main reason why I (used to) jailbreak my device---to turn the ****** off! They need to give options to turn it off or make it less intrusive. View it once and have it in the notification center the rest of the time. 20% battery ussually gives me 2-3 hours of life they should cut it down to 5% warrnings, too.

If it's delayed once more, their stocks will go down for sure.

Same thing if it's filled with bugs.

iTunes is their most widely spread application since I can't remember.

Then they better have it perfect.

You're clueless. Investors don't give two ****s about how iTunes runs.

I sometimes feel like that, but then i think.. i'm sulking for something i really don't need, i'm perfectly happy with iWork and iLife and iWork in particular surpasses anything Microsoft can offer on OSX.

We all love updates but sometimes i think we get hung up on it for no reason, but of course everyones needs are different, maybe you are crying out for features the software packages do not have?

Compared to Microsoft Office (on Windows) iWork could really use some performance enhancements. Not to mention the fact the app suite still doesn't support OS X Mountain Lion's build-in features like multi-touch, auto-correct etc. It would be nice if Apple added support for diagrams and Keynote definitely could use some new effects to spice things up a bit. iPhoto feels slow, its interface incredibly dated and importing of photos from an iOS device could be more seamless.

I prefer the iWork apps over Microsoft Office on Mac, but that doesn't mean the suite could use some improvements after three years of seeing no major new features. And with that I mean actual "office" features, not just the addition of iCloud support.

If it bombs, that's bad publicity, which tanks stock prices and causes people to jump. So, really yes it does. Allow me to explain. There was a rumor that Intel was going to kill off sockets yesterday. Look at this: http://www.google.co...UMCpB6GPiALU_gE Intel's stocks were actually going up and then BAM! The rumor hit the streets and down rolled their stocks like a fat kid at Golden Corale---They're going down hill because of that bad publicity. It's the same for any product. :)

No and no.

That rumor started days ago. Real investors (not people with 5 shares) actually know whats going on and don't listen to things like silly rumors.

A new release of iTunes is irrelevant to Apple's stock price.

IT'S OUT!!!!! :)

k. Which is why Intel's stock dropped that much. The market is based on rumors and what they release and do as a company.

Look on the right side. See where it lists the 'B' story? Now see where it is on the chart? See how the stock actually went up a little from that point? Until open today, when it went down? Ok.

Also, we're talking about a less than $.50 range. That is by no means any kind of 'big' drop. In fact, its normal variation.

I recommend you stay far away from the stock market.

where are the download links of its out? still only seeing 10.7 on their site.

Only on the Mac App Store updates thus far.

Pretty impressed so far. Seems much faster and it looks pretty nice.

It's available though Software Update

    • Wow, Microsoft IS cooking lately... This only shows that they COULD improve, they just chose not to for whatever reasons. That obsession with AI was destroying them from the inside out.
    • BATorrent 4.1.0 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 4.1.0 release notes: A community-driven release: everything here came straight from your reports and requests. It closes the remaining gaps with qBittorrent and fixes the Windows settings/tray/splash issues several of you hit. Fixed Settings now actually save. A whole class of preferences — speed limits (and the alternative limits), max active downloads, seed ratio, listen port, max connections, DHT/uTP/encryption, VPN interface, kill switch and proxy — weren't being persisted and reset to defaults on every launch. They now round-trip correctly. (Thanks to everyone who reported "the upload limit always goes back to 0".) Splash and tray toggles stick on Windows. Turning off the startup animation (or "close to tray") no longer reverts — the Windows registry stored these booleans as integers and the UI was misreading them. Close-to-tray hint. The first time the window hides to the tray you get a one-time notification, so the app doesn't look like it vanished (Windows 11 tucks new tray icons into the overflow). macOS Dock icon size. The icon filled its canvas edge-to-edge and rendered larger than neighbouring apps; it now uses the standard safe-area padding. Native file picker language. The "Torrent file / All files" filter in the open dialog follows the app language instead of being hard-coded. Added — qBittorrent parity Alternative speed limits toggle — a turtle button in the toolbar flips your throttled limits on/off instantly, independent of the scheduler. Follow system theme — switch light/dark automatically with the OS (Settings → Appearance). Pre-allocate disk space — reserve the full file size up front to reduce fragmentation (Settings → Downloads). Recheck data on add — optionally force a hash check when adding a torrent, so existing or partial files on disk are detected. Port status indicator — a 🔴 dot in the status bar shows whether your listen port looks reachable (UPnP/NAT-PMP + listen state; fully local, no external check). Add torrent from URL — File → Add torrent from URL (Ctrl+U) fetches a remote .torrent and routes it through the normal add dialog. Export .torrent — right-click a torrent → Export .torrent to save its metadata file. Already there (in case you missed it) Watch folder — auto-add .torrent files dropped into a monitored directory (Settings → Files). This release just surfaces it. Incomplete files already carry a .!bt suffix until they finish. Under the hood Regression tests for the settings-persistence and Windows boolean bugs. A new Qt Quick Test harness covering the startup splash and the design-system widgets.

    • Disabling open on hover, great! That was so stupid! They need to do a fix, where if a network share is disconnected, it doesn't hang when opening "This PC" for 20 seconds.
