Old CLI Geezer

Bah, screenshots. Why, in MY day all we had was a command line. AND WE WERE GLAD!

Don't worry Granddad, you won't have to give up your precious CLI. Many of Tiger's new features, such as Core Image and the H.264 codec, mean nothing in the Terminal world, but I have heard of at least one - Spotlight, arguably the biggest feature of them all - which has been made to be accesible from the CLI as well as the GUI. There is a place for you shell-lovin' fogeys in Apple's grand plan!

Well, WE had it tough. We used to have to get up at 4 in the morning, 2 hours before we went to bed, work 28 hour day at card punch, and when we got home, our dad would kill us and dance about on our graves singin' hallelujah.

And you try and tell the young people of today that, and they won't believe you! Not a word.

Bah, CLI. Why, in MY day all we had was clams and sand. Back then our calculations had a lot more tolerance, and we liked it that way.

Of course you were glad. Hands got tired of flipping toggle switches.

automate pr0n

[Anonymous Coward]

Private surfing mode is not the only is the great pr0n surfing feature in Tiger. During the keynote, to introduce devs to Automator, the presenter built a script to "download all the pictures over a certain size" from a webpage.

Heh

Re:automate pr0n

[acceleriter]

. . . the presenter built a script to "download all the pictures over a certain size" from a webpage.

Do you mean size in pixels, or does this OS have some mad AI :)?

Spam?

[pyrrhonist]

Is eweek advocating spam with this picture?

Seriously the pipeline goes Address Book --> Mail Merge --> Group Mailer.

WTF?

Don't hold back, tell us how you really feel.

Re:CALLING ALL APPLE FAGGOTS

[Anonymous Coward]

Correct. An oxymoron is something like "interesting FP" or "quiet flamewar" or "entertaining flamebait"

Unless they were actually suggesting that all apple users are, in fact, not 'faggots'. Now, I'm no homophobe, but that is definitely not true.
