Apple Announces Tiger Release Date
GatorMarc writes "Well, it's official. Tiger will be released into the wild on April 29th with more than 200 new features, including Spotlight, Dashboard, Automator, VoiceOver, Safari RSS, Core Audio, and Core Image." Additional commentary available on ThinkSecret and MacWorld.
... this release of OSX looks good enough to make me want to buy a mac, alas, I have no money.
It must be extra special if the page background is black aswell >.>
Meet the world's most advanced operating system.
That however strikes me as a little bit odd.. how is it advanced? As in, advanced functions are now user friendly with the 200 new features? I guess I'm just stupid, all the more reason to buy a mac.
Remember children, all generalizations are wrong.
Yet another idiotic moron making claims about things they clearly know nothing about.
This is not a bug fix, this adds over one hundred completely new aspects to the OS.
Ignorant turd...
Version number? 10.4. You'd think Apple could at least update the major version number to make people think they're getting something new.
XP SP2 added a lot of new security related aspects to the OS, a new firewall, a new virus scanner, a new adware scanner, a new malware removal tool, yet it was free.
I'm sick of apple zealots, and the constant Appleturfing of slashdot.
Oh well, have fun writing checks to Jobs.
Me, I'll just type "emerge -u world" and get on with my life.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
you fucking idiot... core image can be used for eye candy OR actual work like real time filters.
I am the Alpha and the Omega-3
Wow, what a dick.
The RSS "feature" of safari is useless. Look at how clever firefox is in using RSS.
They should just adopt firefox and use the safari team to fix finder.

I don't have to substantiate my contention: It's not my job to keep my parent poster's application running. I still run a couple Classic apps on my Powerbook, and by and large they work fine.
Windows XP SP2 breaks almost every app in my organization's portfolio. Our point of sale system corrupts its database if you run it on anything newer than Windows 98. And we can't get support, since Microsoft bought the developer and EOLed our version.
Yeah, it's all crappy old software, but we still need it to work.
Why yes, I AM a rocket scientist!
APPLESCRIPT IS A NIGHMARE!!! I wish they would dump it for a usable OSS language like perl or python.

/. either.
So? It's not your job to post on
I have a couple apps that broke when upgrading from Jaguar to Panther. Yippy. I'm happy OS X works so well for you, personally I've had better luck with XP, but neither are perfect. If you just want to praise Apple fine, but try to be honest about it: you're just another fan boy.
"Yeah, Safari 2 can do this. It isn't clever. It's obvious. "
I am running a tiger developer preview right now. And no you can't do it with safari. All you can do is bookmark the rss page. Firefox presents the rss feed as a drop down like a menu. This means I don't have to stop viewing the page I am reading just to scan the slashdot headlines.
But hey keep lying, maybe somebody will believe you.
Oh and you forgot to tell me why finder is so great and l33t!.
