    Rendezvous now called Bonjour

    er....yeah. The name makes no sense (at least not in the way that "rendezvous" did), nor does the name change make sense considering the inevitable confusion it will cause. Was there a conflict over the name? Some other product/technology? Certainly they can't be doing it simply for...

    You're laying the sarcasm on a little thick there =)

    The new download sections

    ...Are up. Pretty cool, really...especially if there's momentum and we see a lot of innovative stuff! http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/spotlight/ http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/dashboard/ http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/automator/ I see there's also a general "software...

    PowerBook G5 maybe ready to roll

    Or at least some *credible* evidence to support the rumors... BTW, I overheard on the subway the other day a guy who probably worked for the Apple Store in Cambridge saying that Apple is moving to x86 sometime this year. Just more evidence to support what everyone's known is coming...

    Exposé: a lot slower on tiger....

    Both of my systems (see sig) are noticably faster and more snappy - I suspect a number of people here are experiencing ".0 revision" bugs. I suspect whatever's causing your Quartz Extreme problems, Lt. Burns, is also causing your Quicktime problems, etc. If so, hopefully we'll see the...

    Tiger Online Seminar

    And since you didn't get it from the store, and I'm guessing are not a developer, exactly where did you get it from, hmmmm? =)

    iTunes in more European countries

    I found a series of articles about iTunes: Die Schweiz on this website: http://story.ch/cgi-bin/macnews.cgi/2005/04/26#20050426_itmsswiss ;-) I wonder what the Swiss pricing will be? 1.5CHF? 2? 2+? 1?? I just wish *I* could buy tunes from the other music stores, there's tons of...

    New stuff on the Apple Store

    If this kept up, i.e. they released more frequent, more incremental updates (improving memory, cpu speeds, peripherals, etc) I'd be happy... I definitely think that the 9 months between updates thing hurts sales (and us)...Though obviously the pace lately has been too slow...

    Journaling??

    Journalling should DEFINITELY be extremely low-usage, and there's no seperate process for it. Instead, as mentioned, the processes mentioned are probably spotlight-related. Note that spotlight updates occur with when moving around data in a way that affects any spotlight-aware program...

    Dashboard ripple effect....how?

    Note that this is only a partial list - it is NOT a complete list of all the cards that are supported for full CoreImage support.

    Safari 2.0 it's fast!!

    Any chance that we'll start seeing Safari plugins like for Firefox? Lack of extensions is by far the main reason that I'm sticking with Mozilla...

    Apple leaks info..?

    I dunno, why wouldn't they release Safari 2 for 10.3? Or X11 for 10.2? Or iChat AV for 10.2? etc?

    Is there Classic support in Tiger?

    I notice from the screenshots of System Prefs that there doesn't seem to be a section for configuring Classic. Has Classic support finally been removed from OS X in 10.4?? I'd have thought I would have read that in a review somewhere if true, but who knows...

    Mac OSX on a Xbox!!

    no, they're running os x on an xbox. They're emulating the ppc. Just because it's not running as the "native operating system" doesn't mean it's not running =) Not running well or usable at all is a different story...

    Address book sharing in Tiger

    Actually, I think the "many, many users" type organization (read: enterprises, other large organizations) and perhaps even medium-sized orgs are okay since Address Book supports LDAP, and those orgs are going to tend to use a directory system of some kind (Active Directory, Exchange, Lotus...

    Tiger has gone gold!!!

    Well, the "gag", if it was one, was performed on April 1. There's nothing that says that someone couldn't be prepping people for it beforehand. For example, in 2000, someone issued a press release describing the 15th anual "New York April Fool's Day" parade, describing the floats involved...

    Apple iHome?!

    Amazing, that's the third time I've heard someone make a claim like this today. That particular Lacie box contains 4 400MB hard drives concatenated together. Notice the 4x8MB buffer (the 8MB buffer on each 400MB HD)?
