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. ;)

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
