damnit, somebody allways beats me to what i have to say... :(
 
I WAS RIGHT!

OMG, I cannot believe it, ok, I was certain it was going to be released but i had no facts to back it up, it was jsut my gut tellign my, and i was right! :D :cool:
 
Considering how badly Apple UK screwed up the Panther pre-orders deliveries I don't think I'll be pre-ordering. :rolleyes: In fact I'll wait a bit and let you lot find all the bugs for me.... ;)
 
There is no spoon...

Gimme some of what you're smokin! Apple never produced a G4 below 450 MHz so you must have a G3 or be hittin the ol' pipe.
 
movie tie in!

Tiger's being released on the same day at the Hitchhikers Guide 2tg as a movie tie in, it's obvious. Have you seen the resemblance of the new Marvin (the paranoid android) and the Automator logo in Tiger?

"Brain the size of a 64-bit dual processor savvy modern operating system and they make me do drop shadows"
 
But what about dual-cores?

It's good that 10.4 is finally announced. I had gotten a bit sick of drumming my fingers waiting for Apple to highlight something besides iPods.

But the announcement might not be able to overshadow the fact that Intel has begun shipping dual-core x86 processors. This leaves Apple with a shiny new 64-bit OS running on passé hardware -- unless, of course, they announce the dual-core Quad PowerMac G5 at NAB, which some posts earlier than mine say is unlikely due to the "three week rule" of Apple.com front page highlights, though ThinkSecret suggests otherwise.

nVidia Geforce FX go5200 is supported but my ATi Mobility 9600 isnt. You gotta be kidding me.

Hopefully that isnt a full list.

Actually Apple never produced a G4 under 350, the original G4's came in 350, 400, and 400 models. Regardless I have a B&W G3 with a 350 MHZ Daystar Digital G4 Upgrade(I must have missed the 5 and hit a 0 when I originally typed that).
 
I'm dissapointed in the norwegian Apple Store. There's no huge Tiger announcement on the frontpage. They've hidden it away on the Store Page. Bleh :p

Can't afford it atm, but I think I'll order it when I get the money for my PC :D
 
It got cheaper

The price on the UK store is £89. I was sure that it was £99 for previous OS's.

There are just so many cool things to say that I'm going to have to take a cold shower and post later...
 
link to the Tiger up-to-date program for those who just bought a copy of Panther or a new computer:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/

they claim its for if you buy/bought panther or a new computer on or after April 12th... Apple issued me a replacement laptop a little over 2 weeks ago, and i put in that info and the serial number with a sale date of April 12, and it approved me for the up-to-date program, with a media cost of $9.99 (did the same thing last year for panther, it's not the retail box, just comes in a padded manilla envelope with the media DVD).

i would say its worth it to try for anyone who has bought a computer/panther over the past month, it obviously wouldnt hurt to try.

I'm in the same boat as you. I ordered a PB on Friday (8/4), it was supposed to ship today, but I just received an email saying that the shipping date has changed to 20/04 Does this mean I should expect to get Tiger?

Hopefully your powerbook also sees some minor hardware improvements. Tiger preloaded would be likely.

It's the most important thing for you, yet you don't know what it does?


First of all, the new 64-bit addressing won't help you since you only have 4 GiB of RAM. The main thing that 64-bit addressing does is allow a *single* program to use more than 4 GiB.

Second, 10.4's 64-bit implementation is a partial implementation that is mainly available to command line terminal apps. No Cocoa/Carbon apps, no GUI apps.

For an application like Photoshop or video to use 64-bit addressing, it would have to be rewritten as a "client-server" app, with a 32-bit GUI talking to a separate 64-bit work piece. Ain't gonna happen, IMO.

The need for 64-bit on the desktop isn't that great, and the need for a lame terminal-only implementation is almost zero on the desktop.

The supercomputer clusters will like 10.4's 64-bit addressing, though....

Ah. AidenShaw. You can always count on him when the 64bit myth must be debuked. I lik your avatar btw. Is it your cat?

Take a look at the Tech Specs for Tiger:-
http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/

Listed in included software is only iTunes, there is no other iLife applications listed.

Does that mean we have to buy iLife '05 seperately? Will we be able to install it from our original installations discs that came with our Macs? (I have the Rev D PowerBook and iLife '05 is on it's disc)

Yes, and Yes.
 
QuickTime Pro 7

Anyone found any info on how to get a QuickTime 7 upgrade to QuickTime 7 Pro?

I am an ADC member & have the prerelease of QT7.

I also have QT6 Pro,

The QT6 Pro Serial no longer works for QT7.

I can't find any info anywhere on Apple's site.
 
now I have a question for you multiplatforming fools. why would apple go neener neener at longhorn a year ahead of release? doesn't that just give microsoft time to come back with something? are they THAT slow and beurocratic? I'm scared.

Will it be available in Australia on April 29th???
Click to expand...

I hope it will be available on the 29th. I doubt it though, considering it will be the 29th here before the US (time difference). I reakon it will be available 30th - in the morning. I will ring the AppleCentre tomorrow and find out,
