Latest build of Jaguar...


Recommended Posts

Some more info from Jaguar, the latest release of OS X. These screenshots showing off some of the Ink features being implemented as well as some other nice little touches.

Jaguar will ship with four levels of antialiasing, or font smoothing: Strong, Medium (best for Flat Panel), Light, and Standard (best for CRT).

Additionally, support for subpixel rendering on LCDs is very apparent. It makes a huge difference. Less tearing, and a bit less ghosting. It's getting better." Additionally, this improves gameplay on LCDs.

The view options of the Finder have an interesting new addition, called "show item info." This displays information under file and folder names, in small blue text. For folders, this is the number of items in a folder. For hard drives, it is the total and free disk space, and for MP3s, it can be ID3 tags.

In the Internet preferences pane, the new iDisk tab displays the amount of free iDisk space, and even has a button to purchase more space. It also allows you to easily set the access privileges for your public folder.

Packet Decoder is a new Bluetooth app included with Jaguar, but few specific details are known.

Network Startup is now an option in the Startup Disk preferences pane.

Finally, Mac Help has been completely revamped in newer builds, and includes lots of new documentation for Jaguar, including a "what's new" section.

Now, some images ;) :

Why did you post these?? Now I want my Mac even more badly :D

I hope 10.2 will be out by the time I buy it.

"Late summer" is the official word, but knowig Steve Jobs, that will be end of August, early September. Possibly the last official day of summer.

I'm quite happy to be trying out the beta builds though. Reminds me of the Win XP beta's :p

why the hell does apple insist on using I in front of everything they create lately?

Yeah, like iChat, umm.. err.. what else new?

I know they've got iMovie, iTunes etc etc and I guess it's a slogan now. Kinda like a seal of quality if you will :D , you're not really going to get a bad iApp.

Wow ! I have a strong urge to switch to Mac. I have had one sometime back, wasn't anything like this. It's beautiful with bright and pretty icons. The icon for address book is so realistic. If only I had the cash ? Lucky you, you seem to have the best of both worlds. Mac is out of this world most certainly. Mr Jobs could sell his stuff by the millions if he brings down the price.

if we have 10.1 already will we have to pay for 10.2?

Nothing has been mentioned of this yet. It will either be free, a $20 CD (free download) or a full price upgrade i.e. $99.

The Free download/$20 CD option is looking the most likely.

There is also the people who have bought OS X retail and have free upgrade vouchers, no-one knows where they stand.

I guess we're going to have to wait until nearer the time.

nice job dazzla! ;)

on the comparision where you show the four different types of font smoothing, they all look the same to me. i am on a CRT, BTW.

Doesn't make a difference, it isn't smoothing the fonts before your eyes. it's a screenshot of it so you should be able to see a difference.

    • FIFA cup is a worldwide event. Total global engagement — FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 (official FIFA report) 5 billion people https://theworlddata.com/fifa-...-cup-viewership-statistics/ U.S., Canada, Japan drive vast World Series viewership for Games 1 and 2 In Japan despite a 9 a.m. local start time, Game One averaged 11.8 million viewers on NHK-G https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-...ching-large-global-audience There are also millions of annual viewers of the World Series in Latin America, especially Venezuela and the Domincan Republic due to the large number of players from those countries playing in the Major Leagues.
    • The original word arts were far more awesome! With their own preconfigured fill patterns, 3D layout, etc. I especially loved the ones circled below and still miss them from my primary school years: I frankly use them less these days 'cause the new one isn't as straightforward fine art as what we originally had. Same with the built-in picarts selection.
    • What didn't you understand about that was mainly referring to Google, Microsoft, etc. keeping your passwords. Password Management is a key service of Bitwarden and it's not going anywhere. In any case they do offer export to other Password management services, backup/download of passwords, and the already mentioned on-prem option. I don't agree with the OP to use the free option as it's better to be an actual customer IMO. They don't just don't delete accounts like the big tech companies with no recourse which was the main concern of this article. I was confused if the author was trying to sell this setup? It should be obvious to anyone reading this article this solution is overly complicated and overkill for most users.
    • I got this notification just now in Android: So I went in to disable the "Other" or "Marketing" notifications in Notifications management: But it came through the Now Playing? So if I disable that I no longer get what's Now Playing in Notifications? I'm a paying subscriber, not on the free plan... can they sink any lower?
    • Population especially in high density areas creates more heat and more humidity. This can be noticed in an indoor arena or concert room which heats up when the room or arena fills with people, without air conditoning to cool it down, Watering of lawns creates more humidity as the moisture from the watering rises into the atmosphere, creating a more humid condition. The again, depopulating an arena or room after an event will drop the temperature inside. Desert areas are less humid for a number of reasons, including a lower population density. Tel Aviv has horrible weather, unless you like it hot and humid. Summer days are regularly 90+ F with humidity well over 70%. It is probably not as bad as Mississippi but still it is bad enough.
