Detailed Reviews of Mac OS X "Tiger" Preview

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

An anonymous reader writes "AppleInsider has been publishing some very detailed articles on Apple's new Mac OS X 10.4 'Tiger' operating system, which include numerous screenshots of the system. So far the publication has discussed overall installation and Spotlight search technology, Safari with RSS, a new Mail revision with Smart Mailbox technology, and a websearch enabled Mac OS X Help application."

    Finally, a correct use of the word 'literally':

    Apple's new "Spotlight" search technology is by far Tiger's most dominant feature, and it can be accessed from almost every corner of the system, literally.

    A blue-colored Spotlight search button appears in the upper-right-hand corner of the Mac OS menubar, and remains accessible at that point from any Mac OS X application. Selecting the Spotlight icon reveals a search field that will expand to display results in real-time.

    I am a straight guy and if my girlfriend suggested having a threesome with another guy, I would not want to join in. But I would offer to videotape her and the guy. Lighten up!

    I am not a developer but was wondering. Using Mail, would it be possible to have a script that could be used to post information to iCal. For instance: address would be your iCal, subject line (or CC line) would be title of particular calendar; and then of course there is the date and time. I say this because it seems not only logical, but because the interface is easier for many reasons, one being that we use E mail so often. What do you think?
