OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta)

usa35.com writes "News.com has a story detailing the release of Apple's 10.1 update. They say "unveiled" today, probably meaning actually disseminated to us general public folks sometime in the coming days." This is of course the release that regular users can actually use. Supposedly this is a free upgrade. Speed improvements, UI fixes, DVD stuffs. I can't wait to test it out a little. And those new iBooks are pretty reasonably priced (I figure that they can sell them cheap by cutting corners like most of the mouse buttons ;)

If Apple made 3 button mice with scrollwheels, changed their name, use x86 hardware with windows and linux, fired Steve Jobs, used beige cases, THEN I would get one. But until then....

I'm not sure about Macintosh.. but on most browsers the spacebar can be used as an alternative to pagedown.

My mouse comes with 16-buttons and four independent scroll-wheels, this allows me not only to scroll vertically, but horizontally, diagonally, and to zoom in and out. Other integrated features include a complete 128-key keyboard and surround-sound. Instead of optical technology, my mouse uses Extra-Sensory-Perception (R) to give better tracking. But it's most useful feature is the great satellite transceiver which allows me TRUE wireless operation from a distance of thousands of miles - which is great for when i'm away on business I can tell ya. It has a compartment for a miniature hashish plantation, glows neon, and hovers.

This is the software....

that controlls the remote cameras that X10.com sells, right?

it must be spring in some part of the world

OS X 10.1?

[kievit]

I see a pleonasm there. Shouldn't it be OS X.1?

Re:OS X 10.1?

[PMAvers]

Nope, it's 10.1. Try saying " OS X" to a Apple Genius at one of the stores some time. You'll love their responce. ;-)

When I talked to one and accidently said "X", they said "It's TEN, not "X". Say it with me now, Ten..Ten...Ten... {we pretty much chanted Ten over and over until I got it right, guess they have a course in training on "50 Different Ways to Tell Customers It's 'Ten', Not 'X'".

One of the other ones that I remember was:
AG:"How many fingers total do you have?"
Customer:"Uh, ten."
AG: "There 'ya go."

Cheers,
Paul

That rustling sound you hear...

[Wakko Warner]

...is the sound of 10,000 Slashdot moderators opening their dictionaries to learn what the word "pleonasm" means.

Or at least to see if there's a picture of it.

It would be more accurate to say that clickity-click sound is that of 10,000 Slashdot moderators typing in "dict pleonasm." The rustling sound is that of the wind blowing through the heads of the Windows users who's OS is so lame that it doesn't even come with a dictionary.

Re:That rustling sound you hear...

[Jerf]

Sorry, no, Slashdot moderators are simply mod'ing the article up because it sounds intelligent.

Then yours got modded up because it was humourous.

Then this one will get modded up because it's suitably self-referential and spans at least 3 meta-levels.

Plus the use of the word "meta" adds that gloss of intelligence.
