i agree with this. Safari update should be made available for all versions of Mac OS X. it creates much inconsistency.
Got a tip for us?

I love it, mvc! Did you license it to arn yet?mvc said:
If you consider it open source, I offer this improvement, to avoid depending on a global variable:
function macRumorMaker()
{
if ( today().dayoftheweek == Monday ) print "New PowerMacs Tomorrow!!!";
}

It's not that tricky to find OS X at a discount price. eg. Amazon $112
I'm sure there are cheaper.
Maybe tehy won't call it tiger. they trademarked afew other cats. I like lynx. sounds mysterious and cool... 
edit: just realised lynx sounds alot like linux. (sortuv) wonder if anyone would sue apple? porbly not...

i don't think you can sue over the similar sounding of two trade marks.
but then again, this world has become somewhat weird.
my girlfriend and i named our animals after alcohol "jaeger, stoli.. etc." the problem with that is we started running out of names and no one wants to be called "old grand dad". how about adopting an ebonics approach (or should i spell it eBonics) to code-naming the OS, and bring that inner-city demo into the apple world.
in other words, i think "Ten Point Foe Beotch!" would be the best name. and thats how i will refer to it regardless.

And which box actually has a Panther, Cheetah, or Jaguar on the front other then the fur pattern. Ocelot just sounds a lot sexier then tiger but the tiger "looks" better then an Ocelot. How about an Ocger
Enough Already!!
Some much wasted time over a silly name!!!
Tiger / Lynx / Polecat ... I mean who really cares as long as it gives us a better computing experience... 10.4 sounds fine to me as long as it delivers...
Next subject please!!!

Seeing how Apple trademarks all these names and stuff, what happens when they trademark something (a name, etc.) that they end up not using? Do they still own the rights to it? Is it a monthly fee that they pay for keeping the trademark?
Can I make something and use one of Apple's trademark names just because they didn't use it?. If not, can I just go to the patent office and start trademarking all these words just because I want to?

Dude. Breath a little. This is all that is known about 10.4. There is nothing wrong in discussing the name.
Such self righteous indignation over a thread on the name of an OS. If you don't like it skip the thread. Easy no?
The only difference...
.. is that apple will ship it every year, not every 1,2,3,4,5 maybe 6 years. Longhorn is long off. we will be at 10.5 before it ships, possibly 10.6

Ya..Tiger just does not do it for. I think that having a cool sounding name is more important than staying within the cat family...If they called it something like "Zebra" or "Hammerhead", nobody out side of Mac Zealots (Thats us guys!) would bat an eye.

Oh yeah, it certainly has. Seen http://www.lin---s.com/ lately?
(that points to a 6MB PDF at the moment, so the gist is that Microsoft have successfully stopped Lindows from selling their products in the Benelux region.)
I'll do it again!
So, I'll say it again. I stood in line at the Apple store and gladly purchased my Panther upgrade and I will do it again. $129 is worth it. This OS is rock solid and a real pleasure to work with. I would be offended if M$ wanted me to pay that much for their piece of crap. XP is still unstable (though better than 2000), and most of what M$ thinks is so great doesn't really work properly out of the box. They wait 4 years to release a new OS and still can't get it right. Bring that T - I - double Gu - Er! Anyone up for some bounce'n?

OS X Liger
I'm not sure I see it as Apple's style to name anything after a sterile cross-breed that doesn't generally occur in nature (even if that's only true for certain pairings).
They're just trademarking other cat names to throw us off; the real code-name for 10.4 is:

Mac OS X Dicon Radish
Not every year
People are still saying Apple has a paid upgrade every year. It's still not true.
OS X has been out since early 2001 and only had 2 paid upgrades since. Keeping up the same timing puts the next one in 2005.
Or opt for the "every other" upgrade plan I choose for most apps, and you're already set until 2006 at least.
I for one have found good value in every OS X upgrade so far. I want my 10.4

Here kitty kitty...
the names are supposed to be internal anyway, and 10.4 is appropriate for a computer that listens to you.
I just can't wait till 11. I just know a.i. will be prevalent. We've given them eye's to see the world, ears to listen and voices to sing.

That sound good.. i don't care what apple calls them so long us they keep updating my operating system.
On one board (can't remember which) there was a note that 10.4 would include substantial optimization for the G5 - to the point where there would be a lot of the code that had dual coding - one for 32 bit and one for 64 bit - with your install being dependent on which chip you had.
Level of optimization was being pushed as hard as possible, may exceeding a 75% level of a full 64 bit operating system.
The benefit was significantly faster performance, hopefully in the 20 - 50% range for some functions.
If this is true the G5 owners will be buying on day one and there will probably be a lot of features for 32 bit chip users.
On the name: maybe it is going to be the year of the tiger in Asia - would make a lot of sense to coordinate that!
$129? You bet. Compare Apple to MS and then figure out the money they are putting into continual development of the OS. A part of the money from each computer sold will be allocated to development, but it is the people like us who get the credit card out when necessary that really motivates Apple to continue aggressive development.
For me: it's nothing but G5's in the future and the credit card is out whenever needed for the OS upgrade.
