10.4 on Display at FOSE
CmdrStone writes "Just thought I'd post to let people know that while at FOSE today in the Washington, D.C. Convention center I lingered at the Apple pavilion / booth. To my surprise every machine had 10.4 running. The build number matches the build number found on the rumor sites; 8A428. Does this presage Tiger hitting the shelves soon? Personally, my main interest was how much iSync was expanded to support more devices, phones, etc. The Apple rep confirmed that the number of devices has expanded. He lamented that his Symbian phone, the Nokia 9500 Communicator, still was not included in the supported phones. He did tell me that he was able to tether his Powerbook and get online via his 9500's T-Mobile connection."
Anybody manage to make off with a hard drive from one of those Macs, image it and make a .torrent of it?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night. What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful final build?
English is easier said than done.
Let's hope he doesn't keep his contact list and amateur pr0n synced à la Paris Hilton.

Rumor Site: What the next OS you're releasing? Apple: OS X Liger. Rumor Site: What's a liger? Apple: It's pretty much our favorite OS. It's like Panther and Tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic. Rumor Site: Oooooh

Napoleon: "A Liger"
Deb: "What's a Liger?"

So... would being an FTE with DOS make you a Frickin' Teledildonics Engineer with the Department of Sex? Or a Faster-Than-Everything with Denial-of-Service? I am not really clear on that point.
Is this a sigs-optional kind of place? 'Cause I am totally down with that if you know what I mean.
If you're going to change it, might as well finish it off:

Tyger! Tyger! Burning Gold
In the burners to be sold.
What immortal slot or tray
Could load thee come time for GA?
In what distant road or skies,
Might come the discs that makes search fly?
On what wings to us do speed,
A Dashboard to hold small things we need?
And what shoulder and what art,
Can automate the things that aren't?
Why it's Automator - pretty sweet!
Should I buy it? In a beat!

So your point is that Apple is making more progress more quickly than any other OS vendor you can name, frequently giving us the choice to upgrade to improved features, speed, security, and stability... and you for some reason feel that people would be upset by this?
Oh, I guess maybe you mean users of all non-Apple OSs. Yeah, I suppose they do have a pretty damn good reason to be grumpy.
