Semi-Offical OS X Tiger Chat

Yea, it does use Core Image, but the tech is a little different. Unlike Quartz Extreme (Which is either enabled or NOT, dependent on your hardware), Core Image tech is scaled to work and produce effects as best as possible, based on the hardware. So its fair to say all 'current world' systems support it, but at different levels... If that makes sense...

I get it I didn't realize Core Image could scale.

Yeah but still, the iBook and iMac 15" won't support it too. So it's not ONLY the eMac that falls behind.

And my eMac (or it's line) won't be 5 years old in 2005, buying a new computer every year is just out of the question for most people. So it's only fair to assume that Apple will accommodate that. And it's also likely that Apple will keep on producing these eMacs/iMacs and iBooks till the end of 2004.

Very true, but you would assume at the time this Software ships, all Mac's on the Apple store will have capable graphics hardware. This is tomorrow's OS on today's hardware don't forget! People testing Longhorn's graphic engine would have similar issues too, no doubt...

Ninja - Glad that made sense :p :laugh:

Look on the bright side, you aren't going to miss out on any functionality, just some eyecandy. Nothing to really get upset about.

Well, if you could believe it, I installed Tiger on my iPod mini. It took about 15 minutes to install. If you have an iPod mini, you know its drive is much slower than the regular iPods. However, pretty much the only drawbacks are that it starts up slow and the "splash effect" when opening a gadget is pretty slow. Safari 2.0 isn't really ready for prime time yet. It appears to have a strange color bug, because the images on my site are a much different color while hex codes render the correct color. Hopefully they'll get that fixed. It also won't load my online banking page because its a secure site. Oh well...not really big issues for an OS that has a fair amount of innovation and is still 6-11 months away from release.

Why is everybody having problems with https sites?

My bank site works prefect in safari 2.0, and so do other https sites. I also have no issues with colors.

The only thing I have had an issue with tiger is QuickTime crashing, and I am upset that Preview will not export to jpg anymore.

The new QuickTime will be sweet once they make it stable.

I'm running Tiger off of my iPod and I have a couple of comments:

1) This build is very stable. In fact, I get NO slowness when I am activating the Dashboard and am adding "gadgets".

2) The "Spotlight" feature is really neat. This tool as the potential to be really powerful and I am really anticipating this feature.

3) The them isn't quite "Smoothstripes", it's more like there is only "Smoothstripes" on the Spotlight button.

4) Safari seems very stable for me. HTTPS sites are working, the browser is very quick and it even feels a tad faster than Safari on 10.3.4

Maybe more later!

eh? mine exports as jpeg fine

Yea. They put that in after they made this Dev Preview. They put in a lot of things after the Dev Preview actually.

SFNEFreak, that color issue is system-wide. Look at an iChat message with two lines of text.

HTTPS sites do not work in my copy. I have no idea why.

Odd... i couldn't post yesterday night from Tiger.... :wacko:

Anyway, I've tried it a bit... and it's very snappy, even loading from an iPod!

Too bad my GeForce 4MX it's not fully compatibile with Core Image :(, I couldn't see the ripple effect on dashboard!

Spotlight : Incredible... a huge step above.... I can only imagine what you can do once it's fully supported.

Dashboard : not very useful right now... at least the gadgets are cool but I don't find them so useful now...

Core Image / Core Video : jaws dropping.... for what I've seen in WWDC keynote... (does anyone found the little apps they use to show it? )

Ok, hi I am new yada yada yada. With a n00b, here come a new problem.

Here's the deal. When I try to start the installer (I have burnt it on a DVD) it will tell me to restart the Computer. I did that, and then once the computer is done restarting, nothing happens? I put the .DMG file in the CD (because I had to burn it on Windows, because my Apple Airport was working correctly) and then I put it on my Mac and everything started fine. Everything except the setup. I then tried the other way, but it won't show any other HD or Partition. I don't have an external HD nor do I have an IPOD (I really should get one too :p). Can anyone help me here, or am I doomed?

    • Nvidia 610.62 driver lands with big bug fixes and Empulse support by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a new driver available for Nvidia GeForce hardware owners, and it's carrying a whole lot of bug fixes.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
