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:

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
