You're welcome
I can't live without ForkLift either.
He probably isn't part of the official Snow Leopard Beta testers. He probably got the beta from somewhere illegally.
iStat / Replacement?
hey iBLAKEE, I noticed a temperature and fan gauge at the top of your screen in your gallery. What program is that?!
iStat Menu's wont work for me but the dashboard widget works. Whats that one you have?

Ironically, they keep asking the same stupid **** even after they get a Mac
Two days ago someone asked me "can you still get on the internet on a Mac?"
Wow, Apple seriously effed up Exposé with this one; I'm no longer able to view ALL open windows in ALL spaces simultaneously, nor am I able to move them around. WTF!!!!!!!!!!
It's beta. You probably aren't a official beta tester if you're expressing this type of comment on this board. You have no reason to be mad. Your "mad" is justified only when the official version comes out. Until then, you have no justification to be angry.
Hence my point
Sigh, some of those people just make me cry :'(And that is exactly why Apple never has any public betas of operating systems, because then people who aren't developers get the beta and then bash every single little point giving Apple a bad rep.
I mean at least when we devs point out flaws is beta software, we make it clear to everyone that its *beta software*, its not done and is subject to change, the regular users on the other hand just grab it and run with it :/

Agreed. Spreading betas around like they were candy only cheapens the product. And very often, these unauthorized beta-kiddies have nothing really constructive to add.
Some points from an average user:
- Size (Before 10.6 I barely had 40 GB free; now just over 50 GB free!) Probably has to do with the new base 10 as well.
- Borderless Quicktime X is awesome!
- Time AND DATE in the menubar! (May not be big to you, but I'm always forgetting the date.)
Actually that functionality existed since at least 10.3
I don't think it ever showed the full date, though. I have "show time and date" checked, but I only see "Sat 1:54 PM", for example, not the full date. For that I'd have to click on the date and time in order to see the full date in the drop-down nenu.
Unless I'm doing something wrong here . . .
in leopard (not snow) when you activate expose then press tab it cycles through the running apps showing all windows belonging to whatever app is currently selected, so i'm failing to see what there is to get excited about with this new expose, someone please enlighten me
Stop it.
I can only take seeing so much enthusiasm before I do something impulsive, like buy a Macbook Air right this moment.

Not true. In versions prior to 10.6 you have only the option to show the day of the week along with the time.

yeah I'm not really sure either. or why you wouldnt set hot corners for expose all windows? then pick what you want? what i have noticed and really liked about both dock expose and expose is how the windows are more organized, and there is blue highlighting with the name of the window underneath in a bubble. No more shading. Looks alot more refined. As far as i can tell this build is really stable too, and I havent found any bugs yet.

Think of it as Expose 1.5 instead of brand new Expose. It is an evolution of what Expose was. Now it is easier to see all applications window by just clicking on the app icon which also comes with Quicklook for the windows including hidden and minimized windows. Tabbing takes more time especially if you have more than 10 apps running at same time. Just clicking on the icon and you got all windows for you. Yes, you can actually just press App Windows Expose button and it can do the same thing.
Where Is The Font Smoothing Styles?
Again, WHERE IS THE FONT SMOOTHING STYLES?
(instead of telling me to calm down, simply answer the question.)

It's gone. I doubt it is coming back. There is only one checkbox and it is on/off.
What I should have asked: WHY DID THEY REMOVE FONT SMOOTHIG OPTIONS? That one option of ON/OFF does not cut it. It
makes the fonts on my S-IPS display look terrible.
Hope Apple fixes this. Less font smoothing/poor implementation...Is Apple giving into the Windows way of very crisp fonts that do not retain their actual shape?
Sure hope not or I have one less reason not to check out Windows 7...
Not true. <By default> it shows only day of the week. However in all versions... 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 and now 10.6 you could go and manually just to ANYTHING you want
Nobody here knows why. Apple do not share any information on this and if you want to know, you have to wait til 10.6 is released and than you can email Apple and ask.

3 things:
1] All Windows can be zoomed (without leaving exposé) for a quick preview
2] Minimised windows show in exposé
3] Titles are displayed by default, making it easier to find code and text documents. All windows are laid out in more logical, easier to scan rows.
