Jaguar for Developers

(note the very pretty graph at the bottom depicting the speed differences ;) )

Wow... 10.2 is 3 times faster at everything than 10.1! I'd love to see benchmarks of 10.0 in there... perhaps they are, but the bars are so low you can't see them...

Unfortunately, OSX still isn't resolution independent. You can zoom, but it will just make everything pixelated. I'm looking forward to a vector based UI that can be scaled (essentially for free with QGL) to any size (within reason) on any resolution, but we don't have it yet.

That would be very nice. But it won't help zooming on DVDs, pictures etc... that would be really sweet :D
 
a very major part of the graphics in OS X are indeed vector based and resolution independent. Video poses a different problem altogether as it doesnt quite fit into your average display server model. Its really only a layer on top of the engine, with its own drivers and such. When the actual format of video is changed to a vector based engine, that's when youll see it.
 
QE reqs

from the Apple site:

* Requirements:
Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
 
testing

I'm running 6c106 since it was released (very slow download Apple!) up to now no problems whatsoever, except a small bug with network options:
I unchecked the "warn me to remain connected after 15 minutes" but it still give me the warnings, so I changed the 15 to 300 minutes.

The new startup screen is better then that "hello" face, much more class.
 
Do you know what I love about this forum?

NDA's from Apple don't seem to apply here.

Just be careful what is being said, the powers that be might get upset and I would hate to see this place get the "Wrath of Steve" email.
 
iTunes file size

So far the total size is around 15GB. But each cut of music and SFX is not 3+ minutes in length. We are adding sound files as we get them. Television and video production music have 10-15, 2 to 5 minute cuts per CD along with :30, :45, and 1:00 cuts of the same track. SFX can be as short as five seconds or as long as five minutes.

iChat is nice, but one of my friends on a windows machine says he can't add me to his aim buddy list with the mac.com at the end.

Mac.com Buddylist Support is Mac AIM/AOL only, Windows AIM/AOL is currently not supported.

Cheers

Apple Developer Mailing is a good deal

The Apple Developer Connection Mailing is available as a standalone product at US$199 for a one year subscription . If jaguar ($129)is included, it is a good deal.. One year Subscription plus Jaguar .. I was about to pre-order Jaguar instead i am subscribing to Mailing... cool.thanks for pointing that out

What do you mean by that, Macximum? Does that mean iChat not a replacement for OS X apps like AIM, Adium etc.?
Click to expand...

I chat is great for chatting with other mac users, but forget your windows buddies, unless you want to use your aim account instead of your .mac account. If they were smart, you would be able to use both accounts at once.
 
mount_ftp?

Not sure if this was in 10.1.5, but

mount_ftp? That definitely isn't in 10.1.5! Have you got any more information on that?

Re: mount_ftp?

peterjhill,

Looks cool. One last thing though: could you go to "Connect to Server..." in the Finder and type ftp://ftp.apple.com/ into the Address field and tell me what happens?

Thanks.

It mounts it on the desktop as a network drive that is browseable. Very nice and quick too.

Damn! I've really been holding out for this feature. This is great!

Thanks heaps.
