Another little hidden change is that you have to hold down the Eject key for it to work. So now if you accidently press it you wont eject a disc.

im glad they changed it....i kept pressing the damn thing instead of the backspace

another problem i have with the dvd drive is the noise it makes when you start the computer

its 10.4.9 not 10.4.09

When did I ever say it was 10.4.09?

You're confusing mathematical logic with system version numbers. (10.4.9 has two decimals in it--go figure)

10.x.y

x = major release

y = minor release

In this case, Mac OS X Tiger is 10.4 and the minor release was 9. So following that, version 10 would be the follow up if Apple ever needed to release an update. (thus 10.4.10)

Is 10.4.9 the cause of my long startup time? Or because I just deleted my Windows partition? It sits at the white screen for a while and then shows the loading icon. :\

I've noticed that as well!

I was thinking it could be one of three things for me:

- Installing the Mac OS 10.4.9 Update,

- Removing my Windows partition via Disk Utility, or

- Installing my new LaCie Firewire (400) ext. hard drive.

If you discover the cause or a work-around please post.

I stupidly did the update and removed Bootcamp during the same reboot, so I can't tell which caused it. :\ I'm going to install Bootcamp on monday again to give Vista a whirl so we'll see if its still sitting there for a while.

(I deleted my partition via Bootcamp btw.. so perhaps it is .9 related.)

I can honestly say that I never accidentally hit the Eject key. Mainly because I use the physical sound controls on my SoundSticks rather than the ones on the keyboard/provided by the OS.

Personally I wish that Apple would make stuff like this optional instead of forcing it upon all users.

Well since mine is a portable, i use the volume keys quite a bit, i would be surpised if i was the only one to keep hitting the eject key

I can tell you right now that I used to hit the eject key at least twice a week. (confusing it for delete) Then the drive would make that sound and pop up on the screen. :|

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
