AirDrop exists for Mavericks. Do you mean AirDrop that works between iOS and Mac?
Yes, sorry I didn't clarify. I would love to be able to airdrop between my iPhone and MacBook Pro.
10.9.2 hasn't been released yet. I'm sure they're already working on 10.9.3, but won't send it out in beta until after 10.9.2 is released in a few weeks or months.
Anybody know if this build includes drivers to run a 4K display via Thunderbolt ( mini display port ) at 60Mhz ?

The company Christmas party, but how about you fix f'in quick look in Finder? No one gives a crap about FaceTime audio.

What's the issue with Quick Look? None of my macs experienced any issues with QuickLook in Finder on Mavericks. It's quick, responsive, and does what it is supposed to do.
Do you have custom quick look plugins that could be the cause?
A lot of folks like FaceTime audio, kept saying it provides a better call experience compared to the regular phone calls. So, adding this to OS X will be useful for those folks.
Hum, I was pretty sure they were working on 10.10 already.. That's almost a no brainer. But I didn't know that they work on several point updates at the same time. Thank you for clarifying.
I have the exact same issue. Although it only happens when I watching something in full screen and the computer put the screen into sleep mode, and you can never wake up the screen afterwards. Very annoying to be honest !
Yeah this ticks me off. I remember everyone told me, oh to get the most from Macs you have to have everything Apple because they all work together in the ecosystem. So I get an iMac and I'm all excited to be able to quickly zap pics from my iphone to it, but nope
Seems like such a simple thing too."FaceTime Audio" is a prime example of Apple just waits sooooo long for seemingly minor features. I mean how hard can it be to turn the camera off during a call? It's such a convenient feature especially when you're dealing with limited data allowance. I'm glad it's finally here but this could have even available from day one.
What's the difference between FaceTime audio and a phonecall? Besides that one has the ability to do it over WiFi....
Ah. Yea, it's not fixed in 10.9.2 as far as I can tell. You'd have to press and hold the ALT key as you cycle through the images.
Have you file a radar on it?
Think Skype but with high quality audio (it's very clear in both ways) and no ads, plus strong integration with iOS/OS X.
Folks are saying the quality of the calls are so high that they just can't go back to the regular cellular calls anymore.
In addition, it won't eat up any minutes on your plans, nor restrict you to a specific country since it is just IP data that can go anywhere.
I guess that's literally true. It would be quite a shock if Microsoft or someone else released OSX 10.9.2.
IPhoto, once you login into your iCloud account, automatically downloads photos from your Photo Stream. Likewise, your iPhone should be uploading your photos to your Photo Stream automatically once it's on wi-fi.Yeah this ticks me off.

Just stating this in case you didn't know. It's pretty seamless.
Edit- I do agree, however, that Mac-to-iOS AirDrop would be nice for a multitude of things and should clearly be implemented sooner rather than later.

The implementation on the phone and the desktop can't actually talk to each other. I except cross device airdrop to be a major part of Apple's expected iOS/OSX integration, meaning it may not be there for another year or two.
