The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

I'm looking into a MacMini to introduce myself to Mac soft/hardware. It says: From $499. Is that including Tiger? (I mean, if I buy it after Tiger is released)

Is OSX based on UNIX tecnhology?

Of course the price is including the OS. Even if you buy a Mac mini today, if it doesn't ship with Tiger, you will be able to upgrade for just the shipping cost of the media (usually $10 to 20).

Yes, OS X is based on UNIX.

I've been spending some time on the resources, and have an extras.rsrc file almost complete that changes everything back to Pantherish, but I can't find the resource for the spotlight menu bar icon. If anyone could find out where this is located, that would be of tremendous help!

Was Windows XP a free update for Windows 2000 users?  After all, XP was Windows NT version 5.1 and 2000 was version 5.0.

Was Windows 98 a free update for Windows 95 users?  After all, 98 was Windows version 4.1 and 95 was version 4.0.

Why is it that people keep having to point this out over and over and over again?

see this quote as to how to answer a question. All he wanted was some information

Updates are on the release cycle.

10.3 had 8 so far; If you had 10.3.0 then 10.3.1, 10.3.2 ... 10.3.8 (Possibly 9 soon?) were free.

When 10.4.0 comes out then you need to buy a new copy.

It is kind of like Windows 98 update to Windows 98SE .... Only better  :D

Hope that explains it for you...

And it's information that is repeated in nearly every thread on this board relating to Tiger (and probably a few threads back when Panther was released too).

when the hell are they going to release 10.3.9 update?

I have decided not to mmove to Tiger till a 10.4.x release.

Probably the week before Tiger is released, I would guess, if not sooner.

A word of advice to all the Mac-skeptical: Before any of you yields to the irresistible urge of saying that Tiger is nothing but a Service Pack with a few shiny widgets (which will happen sooner or later, if hasn't already), I recommend taking a look here:

This link would be good to look at too:

Feature comparison of Jaguar, Panther, and Tiger

I turned Tiger inside-out looking for that icon. Can't find it anywhere.

God, I'm really p*ssed off about Tiger's interface! :angry:

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
