"my computer is slow enough with Tiger as is (I have the first g5 tower)"

this does not work. do you have like 48k of ram or something ?!

legitimate 3rd party iphone & itouch apps coming next year,
sweet. I'm well making an ILX one.

what, that killfiles everyone, then points the browser at something more worthwhile?

According to TUAW, the French iPhones are going to be sold either on Orange or unlocked (locking is illegal there). That might be worth a trip over for.

That almost makes up for them being the ones to cause ALL euro iPods to be volume limited.

app i'd like to see : an Ounden/Elite Beat Agent ripoff game that syncs to the bpm of any mp3 you play.

What do you mean? I have 3 gigs of ram.

replace < with [ of course.

Some of the first G5s were weirdly slow. We got one to replace a top-end G4 and it definitely felt a lot slower at some things.

Mine was fast until Tiger. Recently I had to rebuild everything and loaded 10.3.9 and it was blazing, relatively, then loaded 10.4 and it wasn't as hot, then actually started putting applications on and using them and...eh. When I work on site I'm on like quad core intels with 50 gigawats of ram.

Hmm - on my old 600MHz G4 (with only 512MB RAM at the time) moving to Tiger didn't really affect the speed much at all. It's weird how much people's experiences vary.

700MHz, rather.

The startup speed is hard to judge too, since the animation doesn't really reflect anything, other than a value stored the *last* time it booted. You can see it by running
/usr/libexec/WaitingForLoginWindow
in terminal.

To quit it type killall WaitingForLoginWindow

I would like a flickr upload application and a beatport/amazon mp3 application, please.

there is a flickr app

fuck .mac -- that shit should be free

Apple's making a ton of investment in dynamically typed languages -- esp. Python and Ruby

Podcast Producer on OS X Server = Ruby
Wiki Server = (Twisted) Python

Wide Area Bonjour
Access your Macs, at home or on the road, with a single consistent host name. Use this host name whether you’re behind a NAT gateway or hopping across DHCP servers.

OK THIS IS AWESOME

there are like 10 flickr upload apps!

I'll probably get Leopard around .1 at the office and as soon as I read the first reactions to preloaded machines at home.

quicksilver is way faster and better than Spotlight

This is untrue now.

You mean "now" as in with Leopard?

apologies, I meant I want a flickr upload app/beatport/amazon mp3 app for my ipod touch

Spotlight is a dog on Tiger whereas Quicksilver is zoomy.

Actually I've noticed spotlight improved a lot in the point releases of Tiger!

czn, go to some god damn gay howbrew development forum

Amazon doesn't even sell mp3s in this country yet, cozen.

how the hell is wide area bonjour going to work? That's awesome, tho

Maybe something to do with back to my mac?

I imagine they've done some thinking to get this stuff to all work through firewalls

When do you think they'll revise the iMacs -- when they start bundling them?

I meant when the SDK is eventually released, jeez. I expect the flickr app will be a formality really, tho beatport/amazon is maybe a pipe-dream. Not that I'm going to pay for an mp3 anyway.

Anyway in other news, I think the touch's battery sux.

this isn't apple related excitement per se, but google apps for my personal and work domains + my iphone + http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/sync-your-inbox-across-devices-with.html = total nerd hog heaven. i keep checking my settings obsessively to see if imap has come yet.

(woa - that was weird.)

radical!

new gmail lust objects

we should srsly start a gmail thread, i think i am even more of a google fanboy than an apple one

Does anyone still use Classic? Cos it's dead in Leopard:

even on ppc? :/ that sucks how will i play sc2k?

daaamn

Hmmm. The Leopard installer is rubbish. Refused to see my internal drive until lots of pissing about in Disk Utility, then took an age to install, and wiped all my network settings.

The new interface is pretty ugly as well. The toolbar buttons on the Finder and in Safari look like some Linux crap.

It's also driving the fans nuts, but I think that's because Spotlight is re-indexing everything. So far :\

Spotlight's way better. It launches apps as fast as Quicksilver, and the calculator/dictionary is a nice touch.

The Finder is fixed! It doesn't hang on server disconnects, the networking is miles better, as is the sharing. It remembers what windows are supposed to look like, and a shit-ton of little bugs are gone. Coverflow mode is great, too.

Spaces is much better than I thought it'd be.

two thumbs up for leopard so far

whit? that's baws.

what's with the shiny screens all of a sudden? what are the supposed benefits?

they are supposed ot look better.

They give punchier colours but yeah, you're a but fucked if there's a reflection you can't escape.

freudian slip?
