Tiger's 200 New Features

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the spotlight-is-still-to-slow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "If this hasn't already been posted, Apple set up a page listing, by software section, all of the new features for OS X.4, or Tiger. Given that every upgrade touts over a hundred features, it is interesting to see all of the enhancements to this upgrade to see what adopters get out of the box. There are a lot which are tweaks, some new non-Spotlight oriented features and a few that are interesting, mostly security related features. 2 words: stealth mode. "

    Insted of making a corection to the way other people spell english maybe you shuld contribute whit something intresting and more related to the news. Btw. here you can find a detailed list of the new features, whit screenshots, which i think the most intresting is the new Safari web browser whit built in RSS, is not a new thing in browsers but i think this is the first time a built in browser has this feature.

    I have no plans to forget the first post. I just wish I had some points to mod it back up! What's wrong with (or should I say "whit") calling people for writing illogically? Spelling, grammar, and sentence structure are vital to the process of communication, and it's a testament to the human brain that we are able to decode some of the language that gets posted here in spite of the errors. If you people wrote code this way, we'd have no software!

    And I am no stickler. I just want to defend someone who had a legitimate question about the meaning of another post.

    Then you have something seriously wrong with your AMD64 box running Windows XP.

    I'm an OS X bigot, but I'm sorry, an ibook g4 (i have a 1.4ghz) is anything but on par even with my Athlon 2.5ghz XP box.

    My dual G5 box running Tiger is about on par with my 3.2 p4 box running XP.

    Don't make shit up to push your favorite OS, that'll just piss the newcomers off if they follow your words and buy an ibook.

    If all you want is speed, buy an XP machine. If you want usability and a sane UI, use OS X.
