Apple Gives Developers Access to OS X Mavericks

[needfx]

Hardware Requirements?

yes please

 

[freedevil]

How do you install it tho?

With your mouse or keyboard.

 

[onicon]

Can't believe my old early '08 MBP is still eligible for this. I was certain 10.8 would be the end of the line. Glad to see that's not the case!

Don't celebrate until the GM is released. Requirements are subject to change.

 

[Windlasher]

wow... what a name ...

Almost makes you feel like watching 'Top Gun' again, doesn't it

feeling the need???

 

[FSUSem1noles]

The beta is only good for 45 days correct? and then a new beta will be issued, all the way up until GM status, correct? I'm trying to remember how many beta stages Apple usually goes through up until it's GM.

 

[needfx]

Is it wrong to mourn the loss of the 'Skeuomorphism' ?
I quite liked the leather. Made it feel like my desk...

I think they overdid it in mocking Forstall. He might have been a [profanity], but they shouldn't have publicly mocked him with insinuations on several occasions.

HairPro stole the show though

 

[Aston.Zagato]

I can't express how glad I am to see this.

Pretty nifty.

Did you manage to put the image in a USB?

InstallESD.dmg isn't doing the deal for me.

 

[needfx]

Here you go:

much obliged!

Same here. I have the Mid-2007 model, and it's still kickin!

 

[cmanderson]

Can someone tell me WHY its called Mavericks? The only thing that comes to mind is the Dallas Mavericks. :/

There's a movie you can pick up for a buck at RedBox. It's called "Chasing Mavericks". Should explain it.

New theme is iconic Californian locales.

 

[Shaggymax]

We're pretty stoked about the new nomenclature...yeah brah!

Mavericks is a big wave surf spot in California.

I think of Sarah Palin whenever I hear its name

You've got a 64-bit capable processor, and so long as they include the required graphics and WiFi drivers, amongst other things, you're good.

If you have a Core Solo, you'd have been done as soon as Lion was released.

It won't perform as well as today's processors, but that should be expected.

However, if they do a great job of slimming down any unnecessary "pork" in the UI, your machine should perform relatively well.

I have a 2007 era Dell D830 that runs Windows 8 (64-bit, 8GB RAM, integrated graphics) quite well, as a reference point....of today's software that runs exceptionally well on outdated hardware. Would I use it as my daily driver? No.

 

[DavidBlack]

I have the same model and it runs quite smoothly. Hopefully with 10.9 it will be even better

Yea I know it does but I can't push it to much and I am always having inactive alot memory.

True I kinda felt sorry for him to, but I laughed too

 

[BeauPaul]

hardy har, this is what I though of. No flames, it's all in good fun!

Sarah Palin is not from California!!!

How about naming it after people in California . . .

OSX Nancy Pelosi . . . "You'll have to buy it to see what's in it"

Sarah Palin is not bigger than the break in Half Moon Bay or the basketball team in Dallas.

Do a google image search. See how many images of Sarah Palin pop up.

 

[Peace]

Pretty nifty.

What are you talking about ? I just posted a screenshot of OpenGL 4.1 in OSX

And that is ALL.

Great movie by the way...

There's a politics sub forum where a couple people might laugh at your jokes.

Some reference point. Thats like comparing Apples to Zeberas.

Anyone grabbed it yet? I keep getting a down for maintenance message for the last few hours.

Or even realize that it was a joke.
