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.
..now we'll need to a new product to speculate about every other day!

I submitted this about an hour ago, and it was rejected. Should I be offended that they accept everyone else's dupes but not mine? Ah, well.
:)
It is interesting to note that, at least in the UK, Tiger is actually £10 cheaper than the current price for Panther (the previous release). They're also giving those who order now access to an exclusing "Online Seminar", which sounds quite interesting. I can't wait until next month when my copy arrives
Sunday he wins the Masters Golf Tournament and already they are naming an OS release in his honor after him!
The complacency of the last five years is over.
;)
Now on with the complacency of the next five years!
Enjoy your wait for Longhorn, the exclusive platform of Duke Nukem Forever.
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
Is that Apple Math?
1 copy @ $130 X 2 = $260
2 copies @ $200 = $60 saving.
I won't even mention that in your haste to copy & paste you forgot to update the correct prices for more than 2 copies each.

Heh. Version 10.4.1 should be called Tiger Uppercut.
Anyone have any reviews for Tiger on any hardware platform?
Sure thing. Here you go:
It's total shit on the Athlon XP 2500+. You can't even get it to boot up. Less functionality than either Linux or Windows.
I hear it works much better on other platforms, specifically Apple-built PPC systems, but you will have to look at other reviews for that information.

I'd totally making the switch if it was named "Liger." It's pretty much my favorite animal. It's like a lion and a tiger mixed... bred for its skills in magic.
though the lack of copy protection means that I can use the one copy on all 5 of my computers for 130 bucks :-)

How many times have you asked the typical Windows user what OS they run?
My computer runs Microsoft. And AOL sent me the Internet on a CD.
Where does he say he runs Windows? ;)
What else could he be running? The last guy that actually ran Linux left Slashdot about 600,000 user ID's ago!
I believe that would be iZealot...just as fruity, though.
A notification has been sent to the BSA that one Michael Brinkman of Hudson, MI is a known software pirate. Thank you for your honesty in helping to crush software piracy everywhere.

Frankly, Steve Jobs' shit stinks too, every bit as much as Gates' or Ballmer's.
But it looks so much cooler.
Did you even try Intel? I hate AMD-fanboys on Slashdot.
I'm a professional at this, let me help...
Something very stupid, that was hit by the stupid stick and then run over by the stupid bus. After it was kicked out of Stupid University and shown on Geraldo Rivera.
Now on with the complacency of the next five years!
That sounds too much like work. I think I'll just keep the old complacency.
APPLESCRIPT IS A NIGHMARE!!! I wish they would dump it for a usable OSS language like perl or python.
If only there were a way to run Perl or Python on OS X...
Sure, if you do it during work hours so you get paid for doing it. It's like raising your hourly wage by $10 if you can do it in an hour.

I'm ready for OS X Liger. It's pretty much my favorite OS.
Dashboard Keyboard Activation Preference
Easily change the default key that activates the Dashboard.
HOLY SHIT!
Apple is lightyears ahead in the preferences industry!
Who do I give my credit card number to?!?
So...when I go to a library Mac and launch Safari and browse my bank account...how do I know it really is Safari?
I would tell you, but how do I know you're really harlows_monkeys?

As if to add insult to injury, Steve Jobs has apparently dealt with this inevitable delay by ordering that the BSD-underpinnings of the operating system be stripped out and replaced with GNU or Unix code, citing an internal study that shows BSD developers in complete disarray, with usage - based upon Usenet postings - showing a definite decline in BSD support. Perhaps if Apple ported Mac OS X to Intel, they wouldn't be suffering these problems.
On an unrelated note, I've just heard on Talk Radio that the famed computer hacker Stephen Wozniak has died, aged 54. Whether you enjoyed his Integer BASIC interpreter, you can't deny his contribution to modern computing. Truly an American icon.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
There doesn't seem to be a definition for sarcasim in my dictionary. Could you provide one please?
Do you understand what "accerated" means now?
Nope, what does "accerated" mean?
And for accelerated, the code is still as such. It isn't running on the raw CPU using simple int/float operations but is in fact running on the much better AltiVec unit using SIMD instructions, yo. This of course means that CoreImage code running on the AltiVec units will be faster than CoreImage code running on the raw CPU. To me, that means accelerated
