I like that new Spotlight window. They need to update the computer icon to look like the current iMac.

They need to update every single system icon.

It makes sense for Apple to include screen sharing as a part of the OS instead of iChat only. As for the Spotlight window, it's big, really really big... But it's nice you can manage and keep Smart Folders in it. (Y)

Btw, is it just me or are the Back/Forward glyphs located closer together in the Finder?

I'm still hoping they're going to revamp the Finder.

Whoahhhh screen sharing? Wait... I didn't see this anywhere in Tiger (not that I've searched) and since it's version 1.0... is it new?

Apparantly. He did say he was posting screens of the new Leopard build that was seeded.

I'm on the fence right now of whether to get Leopard on initial release, wait for a couple months of reviews and experiences, or just wait for .1 release. This is also my first Mac upgrade and right now I have Tiger pretty much set to my needs. Then again, I graduate from college in May so I just might have to get it sooner rather than later to use the education discount :)

It looks like a new front end to Apple Remote Desktop (which was available in Tiger already).

Hey, they are closer. Probably just a bug.

They're closer together in the Finder in Mac OS X Tiger, too. Just compare either System Preferences or Safari to the Finder.

Tiger has a few GUI glitches that weren't in Panther (good ole Panther).

But those arrows will be damn-near overlapping each other in 10.6.

They're not that close in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

LEDS use less power. I've been studying electricity last year and we've played with LEDS. I've already said that in another thread, they don't consume anything. For a normal LED it's 0.015A, I can't imagine for a pixel. I don't know why people still contest that fact lol

Share and share alike

Remote control takes on a whole new meaning with iChat in Leopard. Thanks to iChat Screen Sharing, you and your buddy can observe and control a single desktop via iChat, making it a cinch to collaborate with colleagues, browse the Web with a friend, or pick the perfect plane seats with your spouse. Share your own desktop or share your buddy?s ? you both have complete control at all times. And when you start a Screen Sharing session, iChat automatically initiates an audio chat so you can talk things through while you?re atiChat TheatereShow off (without showing up)p)

Why wait for a darkened room and a projector to present vacation photos or Keynote slides? With Leopard, you can do it all remotely, from the comfort of iChat. Use new iChat Theater to present photos from iPhoto, slides from Keynote, or content from any iChat-enabled application with any iChat or AOL AIM buddy. And do it in style ? full-screen, accompanied by a video feed of you playing host. iChat?s virtual presentation room makes a big impact.

.015A times 3 V = .045W = hardly any power usage.

Multiply that by 1310720 pixels for a 1280 by 1024 screen though and it becomes almost 60000 watts.

Obviously, the LEDs in an LED monitor must have considerably lower power usage than even a regular LED.

You don't seriously think you'd need one LED per pixel to provide a backlight to an LCD panel, do you? You wouldn't even need half of that.

I also think it's one LED per pixel if you want to have different colors for each pixel... how could it be any different? (Oh wait, maybe I don't actually understand the concept of LED displays)

When I said 15mA, it was for a big LED. If you have a LED the size of a pixel, it's far from 15mA, it's going in the nanos...

Correction : After remembering the lab, after 15 mA, the LED broke, we had to put less than 15mA.

Helpful link in french : http://domsweb.org/ecolo/led-del.php Big bulb lights could consume less than 2W with LEDs.

Right. The LEDs aren't used to make every pixel of the display. It's just a set of LEDs to light up the LCD screen from behind, instead of the fluorescent tubes used now. It may take a few hundred to get a good even backlight, but not the thousands that you guys are talking about.

      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.
