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 !

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.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
