I just hope for now, that the new 10.4.9 will fix the slow airport speed problem on Core2Duo iMacs with "n" capable airport cards, while connected in "g" mode....

It's so frustrating to have an airport connection that cannot go above 400 Kb/s of network speed.... :angry:

(10.3.9 came after 10.4 was released iirc.)

Are you sure about that? I remember using Mac OS X 10.3.9 for a few days before switching to Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and I did that virtually the same day it hit GM.

10.3.9 was a crazy update, it like doubled the responsiveness of the OS. Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger on the other hand was extremely buggy, and compared to 10.3.8 it still is. I don't understand why "Duplicate" doesn't work when selecting a drive and for some reason Mail's main window still won't hide at login when telling it to in System Preferences.

Anyone have the issue of when you click 'Show bluetooth status in menu bar' and it does nothing, you close the bluetooth preferences and nothing appears in the toolbar, open it back up, its suddenly unticked itself. This only happens when its been unticked for a while, couple of reboots etc, well for me anyway...

I want to buy a macbook and I think I should wait, cause Apple does not offer you a free upgrade like when you buy a windows xp laptop couple months before the release of Vista.

microsoft did that for being 2 years late and taking out feqtures otu of their OS, it was their apology

I can reproduce that (Core 2 Duo iMac). So it's not just you.

Apple does something similar, but only once they announce the official release date of the OS, usually it's only good for a few weeks before the release of the OS. Remember that the official release date of Vista was announced by Microsoft several months ahead of time while Apple makes their announcements only weeks or days ahead of release. Also, those "free" Vista upgrades are promotions run by the computer OEM's, not Microsoft, and not all OEM's do that, just the major ones.

Here's an idea: buy a refurbished Macbook from Apple and put aside the money you saved to go towards your Leopard purchase.

Ignorance abounds around here :rolleyes:

No, it was to satisfy retaillers who would have otherwise had a difficult christmas full of customers waiting until after Vista arrived to buy their new PC.

There will always be something better the longer you wait...

Not my point. My point is if new Macs are due very soon, it would be stupid to buy one right now. Seems like I have been waiting forever for these new Macs/Leopard.

LED LCD is NOT coming anytime soon, some people took the anouncement from samsung a bit too far. The displays they were showing are only capable of 262K colors http://aving.net/usa/news/default.asp?mode...mp;mn_name=news

My point is that there are almost always new Macs due very soon with new imbedded gadgets: There are rumours every month of the year about potentially new hardware. IMO you should wait for the next iMac rev/generation before purchasing one because the current models are more than 4 months old and perhaps for Mac OS X Leopard, I'm doing that as well. What you definitely shouldn't do is wait for the next iMac rev/generation because it might feature new hardware type X or Y. ;)

    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By Nas · Posted

      Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
