yeah everything is looking good, i noticed the speed update right after i rebooted the thing. And the ****y thing about it passing the acid test now is that i was working on a web site last night and css word spacing wasn't working yesterday, so i had to make a lenghty work around. now css word spacing works fine... i should have waited a day...

I wonder what they did to increase the overall speed so much, especially the windows effects.

Steve finally got off his G5 and on to a Powerbook, then after noticing the animation performance, he screamed to the top of his lungs in his office "FASTER!", the engineers ran to their desks in terror, immediately optimizing the code. :rofl:

I definately noticed the video speedup. My Mini doesn't exactly perform the best with effects on my 2405fpw, but it seems that many things like the genie effect and many other misc. things are way smoother :D. I really like the Spotlight repsonsiveness now! Totally makes it much more enjoyable.

Finally!

Edit:

This is hilarious, Mail's and iChat's main windows still launch on login even when they're set to hide in System Preferences.

setting them to hide will just make them launch then hide all their windows, if you don't want to launch at login you have to remove it from the list

The problem is that the windows don't hide, even though you set them too. The app launches and the windows just stay there. I actually haven't tested this, but have heard a lot about it.

Yep, I've had the same problem with Mail and iChat launching at login even tho I have them set to hide. I've had this problem since 10.4.3.

Read what jagedEdge said.

Seriously how hard can it be to fix that bug? I never ever had any problems with that feature using Mac OS X 10.3.0 till 10.3.9.

I think my Mac also takes longer to boot, but hey my installation is acting a bit screwy anyway so I'll do a clean install this weekend. :x

I am on hold with Apple Care regarding the initialization of encryption within the Mail.app. Doesn't seem as if they're aware of a problem with users not being able to get the new promised feature. :) Some members on their official forums are experiencing a similar problem.

They're able to partake in encrypted chat, but don't have to option to send encrypted mail through the Mail.app.

    • 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.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
