Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger

Posted by Zonk on from the catch-the-thingie-by-the-tail dept.

tezbobobo writes "Tiger been out hours and already the Apple download page has been updated to take advantage of the update's new features. These cover areas including Spotlight plugins, Dashboard plugins, and Automator plugins. These allow a range of actions from searching within omnigraph documents (spotlight), to resizing photoshop documents (automator), and (my fav) a dashboard wireless locator. The best bit -- a cursory glance indicates about half are freeware."

    Yeah, but this way it can be combined with non-Photoshop operations. You could build a script to generate an index and filesystem with an integrated browser to build customized demonstration CDs.

    There are at least two markets that Apple matches 100%
    1) The clueless Windows user that call the tower the hard drive.
    2) UNIX geeks that are tired of messing with Linux

    Windows gamers do not match. Windows gamers match 100% using an XBox or PS2 for gaming. They would save a bundle in hardware upgrades as well...
