The Official Mac OS X "Tiger" Thread


Recommended Posts

i have absolutely no problems with an upgrade.

one thing though. it seems like my ibook runs a lot hotter than it did before i installed tiger. i may just be noticing it more since i have been using it more lately. i dunno. anyone else notice anything?

I dont notice any difference on my iBook.

I work at a hotel and we get lots of European guests (mostly Germans and Brits).  Many of them seem amazed that Mississippi isn't all farmland with slaves working in the fields.  The ignorance goes both ways.

of all the nations in the world, canada is probably the least ignorant, i mean, americans ACTUALLY do think we live igloos and get our food from ice fishing, and that we say eh all the time, man i wanted to hurt that guy. A lot of canadians know more about america then americans do. I was teaching my 20 year old cousin about american history, it was ridiculous.

Eh?

Just kidding, if it makes you feel any better I know that you do not live in igloos and fish from ice lakes for your food - UK here we drink Tea and eat crumpets and play polo in the afternoons before we go buy Top hats and have supper with the queen.

Now stop dilly dallying and onwards toward Stratford-upon-Avon!

Gosh... yet Canadian people complain about how arrogant American people are..

I'm not Amercan, and I think you just sounded just equally arrogant in that post, if not more.

edit/ I forgot to add that I ordered a PowerBook 15" w/ SuperDrive yesterday, and I can't wait! >_<

im loving tiger, the only problem i have is that i cant close Mail. It starts up with out showing the mail window, but when i go into Window > message viewer it shows up. When i close it either in file or apple+q it highlights the word file and does nothing. The only way i can close it by force quitting it. sad sad

I have the same problem :(

Just got tiger yesterday and installed it. I'm having some mixed feelings.

The OS upgrade added a HUGE performance boost. I mean, it feels like I have all new hardware here. Not that it isn't welcome, but for some reason that really bothers me. I don't think I have ever seen such a boost in performance with just software. It makes me think that Panther was, really, just full of performance bugs, and Tiger actually fixed those bugs.

I like the features of Tiger. I think out of everything Safari got the biggest performance boost. And that was REALLY welcome. Safari ran like crap before. The RSS features of Safari is probably the best part of this upgrade (for me so far). When I first read about them, I didn't think much of it... But now that I've seen it in action, all I have to say is WOW!

Is there a Dashboard widget that works with MSN Messenger?

Are there any cocoa based MSN Messenger clients out there? I love having spell checking, everywhere! Are there any clients that will show a person's picture or avatar like the windows MSN client does? I've tried Microsoft MSN Messenger, thought it was kinda crappy, and I've tried aMSN. aMSN was kinda underwhelming as well. Too bad iChat doesn't support MSN.

One last question: that one screensaver that uses the RSS feeds is really neet. Is there anyway to get a custom RSS feed like, neowin.net's RSS feed?

I can't get over how cool the RSS feed feature of Safari is. It actually makes slashdot.org readable :p !

-nic

i like proteus because of the way the convo windows look, and also, like msn, it tells you in a little square in the bottom of the screen when someone signs in and messages you, and unlike growl, you can click on it and it will pop up the event, only reason why i don't use adium is because i love that feature of msn (being a former windows user)

o_O lot of work for 2 help menus lol

Does anyone else get that loud... like... stunning noise when they take a screenshot?

585882213[/snapback]

I get a little camera sound. It's not loud here. I think it is nice that they added some feedback for that. I also like the sound at the end of a file copy, especially when I'm copying a large number of files somewhere. It's nice to be able to tell when they are done without having the copying window visible.

Well it did a lot more than showing 2x "Help" in the menubar. It made my dock crash when minimizing QuicktTime, it made QuickTime crash, after a while everything using QuickTime started crashing.

As for taking a screenshot, it sounds like a camera making a photo.

Purelogic you seem to never have problems :p

585883313[/snapback]

I had to format Tiger because of QuickTime 7, that seems like a huge problem to me... :p

But I have less problems after updating some apps with resources from the 10.4.1 updater package. The "selecting bug" in Preview 3.0.1 is finally gone, but Mail 2.0.1 still shows it main menu at login. Oh well, waiting for the final.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
