Rave Reviews for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

druid_getafix writes "The first mass market reviews of Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger are trickling in with a big thumbs up for the release. Walt Mossberg of the WSJ says 'Tiger Leaps Out in Front' but complains about slowness of some applications - notably Mail. David Pogue of NYT says 'But with apologies to Mac-bashers everywhere, Spotlight changes everything. Tiger is the classiest version of Mac OS X ever and, by many measures, the most secure, stable and satisfying consumer operating system prowling the earth.' In related news Mossberg also covers the rising incidence of spam/virii in the Windows world and says '...consider dumping Windows altogether and switching to Apple's Macintosh...'. Previous reviews of Tiger were covered on /. earlier."

Rising incidence of what now?

Mossberg also covers the rising incidence of what exactly? Spam I understand, but there's some other word there that I do not recognize.

A common error in economics. Your time is only worth something if someone is PAYING you for it.

Wrong, time is worth whatever value you give to it. If you would rather spend time fishing than building a computer, the time you spend building a computer is lost where you could have been spending it on a much more valuable activity, such as fishing. Just because money isn't involved doesn't mean that time is worthless.

And this time is actually worth something in money terms! If you would rather spend time fishing instead of getting a hundred dollars (for whatever reason, luck), then the time you spent fishing is worth at least one hundred dollars.
