Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the one-bad-kitty dept.

Silly Burrito writes "Think Secret is reporting that Tiger will be out in April with an event on April 1st and it should be out in stores by April 15th. If this is true, I can finally get both the Mini and a new Powerbook, as I've been waiting for Tiger to be released before I do so. Let's just hope that this isn't a bad April Fools Joke!"

  7. Warning: The latest Powerbooks have issues by adamwright · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Slightly off topic, but nonetheless important. I too wanted a new Powerbook, but decided not to wait for Tiger. I wish I had now. On Tuesday, my 3rd attempt at getting a suitable one is going back, and I'm getting a refund.

    Powerbook 1) Dead pixels, screen not flush with case when closed, causing problems with the latch. Replaced by...

    Powerbook 2) Trackpad vertical motion about 10 times slower than horizontal motion. Sometimes took 7 or 8 full sweeps to get from the top of the screen to the bottom. Replaced by...

    Powerbook 3) Literally bent. Wobbles when placed on a flat desk. Returning to Apple for a refund.

    I'm not alone in these problems - many sites have documented the trackpad issues, and the Apple Discussion forums have lots of posts about the fit/finish problems. I too had a post there, until it was deleted by a moderator for being "off topic". Strange how a quality issue can be off topic in a technical forum, when posts about Apples latest "Computers for Schools" programs are not.

    So, be warned - The new Powerbooks are not perfect, by a long way. Apple hardware quality has just dropped a massive amount in my eyes, and I though I'm currently waiting a month to see if they fix these issues, I'm very tempted not to bother with them again.

  8. The News that Slashdot Refused! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    You know, I've never considered posting a story into a thread before, but I attempted submitting a story yesterday and it seems to have obviously been rejected and the editors apparently cannot rewrite the story in a way they find suitable for the frontpage.


    So here goes, OpenBSD is making a request for money. They need hardware to replace part of cvs.openbsd.org (the most important part of the OpenBSD development infrastructure) so if you like OpenBSD [or OpenSSH or OpenNTPd] now would be the time to open your walets up.


    Marco Peereboom has been assigned to lead this fundraising drive and has started it off with 250 $ out of his own pocket; with a goal of 12,500 $ USD to pay for this hardware.


    You can Paypal slash at peereboom dot us or use the OpenBSD Store to donate, simply comment that the funds are to be used on the CVS server.
