Apple Issues First Beta of OS X 10.8.4 to AppleSeed Members

[sulpfiction]

Please don't. It's not.

It was a joke. Take off the tinfoil hat and chill.

 

[Asclepio]

what a bunch of beta males

Browsers bleeding RAM are a common problem - what gives? And, what's with the OS letting it happen? I'd enforce garbage cleanup if I were Apple, regardless of browser.

I hope they fix the Safari memory leaks. PID: WebProcess using 10GB of RAM after day or two of usage is a little extreme...

And no, it's not Facebook's fault.

And then tomorrow comes and Apple admits it was a joke...

 

[scottishwildcat]

Seriously.

I don't know why, but it takes forever with my SSD compared to snappy start up times.

Don't do it then I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have any reason to shut down my MacBook in any given year.

Hopefully they will fix the slow loading on iMacs when you turn it on.

That's just dandy. I'm happy for you. Try boot camping into another OS.

 

[Swiss-G]

FWIW its available on the developer site.

 

[Yamcha]

Wonder how OS 10.9 is going..

 

[kwiiboy]

Holy ****! I thought that was just me!

 

[tywebb13]

the delta update is a lot smaller this time and so was quicker to install

it's about 300 mb

 

[yearziro]

Before anybody asks. And I know this question will pop up.

Appleseed members are not known for leaking iso's or dmg's.

Learned my lesson with leaked beta's downloaded ML DP1 and it wasnt a fun experience

 

[tywebb13]

no need for appleseeders to leak it.

It's on the mac dev center now, i.e., apple have released it to developers too.

 

[kot]

Hopefully shutdown is snappier.

New meme?

 

[Jessica Lares]

I'm excited for the Safari update. Like really, it's annoying that my PowerPC machines give me a better browsing experience than a 2011 machine.

 

[MacsRgr8]

Logic:

WWDC 2013: DP1 of 10.9
End of May 2013: GM 10.8.4

Welcome to Mountain Lion

Don't do it then I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of times I have any reason to shut down my MacBook in any given year.

Life can be simple, but sometimes it's not.

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Safari seems snappier.

(They're asking people to focus on Safari? Come on, you knew this joke was coming)

It's not funny anymore.

 

[ConCat]

That's WebKit, not Safari. I assume Chrome has at least some of these leaks as well, although the leaks may be in the JavaScript engine.

 

[MrNomNoms]

There is a little bit of lagginess with the HD 4000 on occasions but I'd love to see some further optimisation and bug fixes for the nVidia 680MX in the iMac.

Any one notice anything under the hood? Installed it last night, not noticing any improvements or noticeable changes. Then again, it's only the first beta release, given 10.8.3 this could go one for months

I did notice the dock "hack" that's been around and working up to .3 doesn't work with the .4 dock (the hack that was released on MacRumors modifies the dock to black w/ or w/o reflections, the guy did a great job working with others in making an easy app). OpenGL 4.0 support remains the same.

I don't know what's the point in releasing these updates when it can't seem to fix any issues. I don't understand what these ******s Apple engineers are doing anyway. After taking forever with 10.8.3, I had hoped that it will fix some of the annoying problems like OS X hang once a week that I'm having with my rMBP. I hate to say Apple really sucks! I wasted 3000 Euro on this machine with an OS that is **** OS in the history of Mac OS X!

I disabled the hibernation mode using ChameleonSSD and to preserve battery in general I'd rather shut it down.

I see what you're saying though.

 

[PeeGee]

Could anyone please see what the Nvidia driver version is in this recent build?

 

[koban4max]

Appleseed Members are people that Apple choose to test software before it goes on to developers. It is an invite only membership.

are you saying that this new beta is not a joke?
