I just realized my MacBook was brighter in darkness not in light conditions. That is weird.

I just realized my MacBook was brighter in darkness not in light conditions. That is weird.
More then likely, yes. And when 10.6 comes out, I'm only upgrading to 10.5
I see no reason at all to update every time a new OS version comes out.
Now, with 10.4.9, I can understand. Security bugs, fixes, it's good. Plus, it's free.
[RANT]I'm getting really tired of all the "When is Leopard coming out?" threads, and all the whiny posts going something like "Forget crappy Tiger, where the hell is Leopard?!?!?!?!?!?!?
"But that's just me.[/RANT]
Why are you going to upgrade to 10.5 when 10.6 is released? You should upgrade to 10.6 when that time comes.
My iMac is slightly brighter as well, and I did check my calibration settings (customized, no values changed).
I find holding down the eject button to be really really annoying. I guess I really have never accidentally hit it before.
I was really unhappy with the kernal panic I got with my Mac Pro during the install.

Run FSCK and it might help.

I hit the eject button by mistake all the time on my Macbook Pro when i'm going for the delete key. It's surely a welcome update - especially because it takes like 1 second of holding it to eject - and it's not like I constantly eject things anyway.
Having to hold the eject button is REALLY annoying
it's so you don't accidentally hit the eject button while you are in the middle of something important...honestly how often are you loading cd's /dvd's into your drive
What is the point of that then you should upgrade to 10.6. otherwise just wait until 10.5.2 or somewhere around there and upgrade, by then it should be at least as stable as tiger.
When I'm importing 20 - 30 CDs into iTunes it becomes extremely annoying. Plus I have never had a problem with hitting the eject button accidentally, so for me it is just an added inconvenience.
I skipped 10.3 before purchasing Tiger at 10.4.2 and never missed a thing, imop. Probably wait and see what Leopard has to offer that I can't live without... on topic, my mini is alot louder. I love Apple! Who else gives free upgrades to system software that rock!
Wow... as a new mac user with the release of Tiger, I can't imagine using a mac without Expose. 10.2 didn't have it, right? I could not live my OS X life without it.
In retrospect, do you agree that it is an indispensable feature?

If you think that's weird, I've sorta downgraded to OS 9.0.4 at work. Actually, I'm running it under Sheepshaver on Windows XP, so I guess it's an upgrade to XP.
(Unfortunately, the internet crashes sheepshaver. I need OS 9.0.4 to play Oregon Trail and Super Munchers )
Agree, Like having to hold the eject down. I can't count the tines I am typing in a hurry and hit the eject a disk by accident (Of course, not the greatest typist!). If its an option I will leave mine as is but maybe you can change the defaults.It's not when you accidently press it
Bill....
what a relief, i thought i was imagining it. it's annoying, because i use control-eject followed by s to put my computer to sleep. it used to be a fairly quick operation, but it's become a bit of a hassle.
Your iPhoto won't update unless it's in the Applications folder. I had moved mine into an iLife folder and it wouldn't update until i moved it back.
Nvidia cards now supprt pivoting
For those with Nvidia video in their Mac Pros (MBPs also?) and a pivoting monitor (e.g., Dell), you're now able to rotate the screen in 90 degree increments. Finally!

Don't you mean
"Mac OSX finally supports nVidia's capability of pivoting the screen"
Since you could do this on windows for years, it was never an nVidia problem.
About the eject problem/feature. I wanna change it back to instant because I too use the control-eject for shutdown too. Are there any preference files that we can modify to change the way the eject key is implemented? Somebody find the defaults to change this!

Shame, because panther was an amazing release, and tiger no so, but the search is good
At that time you should get used copies of 10.5 on eBay quite cheap. Check out prices for Panther.
However, I think if you want to save money buying every second new version is a better solution than staying one version behind permanently.
