Sorry for the red "demo" in the button but I'm using a demo version of RapidWeaver

Woops!

Awesome images! Panther has been an awesome OS, Tiger doesn't look like it's going to add that much, but will be mostly concerned with streamlining existing features.

On another note, considering Apple's recent heavy handed approach to the disclosure of confidential information, a little more caution is warranted.

#1 It's a minor thing, yes, But don't reveal localization. If Apple decides to go on a witch hunt, flying the Union Jack in your menu bar, showing that your currency is the "British pound sterling" and documenting that you use the european time server isn't exactly going to widen the pool of people they have to search through.

#2 Make sure you don't display your friends' AIM SNs. The image poster did an excellent job blurring half the screenshots but must have forgot in one.

#3 For god sakes don't take photos of your submissions to Apple! All they need do is look through their submission database for one sent on 2005-1-22 at 13:05 regarding build 8A351. I don't remember if bug reports include your serial or not, but they will most definitely include an IP. Oy...

In any case, goodluck and thanks for the screenshots!

Spotlight is a MAJOR addition.

Automator is a MAJOR addition.

H.264, Core Image, Core Video, Dashboard....

I'd pay $150.00 just for Spotlight and Automator.

Tiger is a major release, not just a spruce up, in my opinion.

anybody else notice that it seems you can control dialog boxes with the keyboard now?? i know you've been able to select things like "Don't Save" with command-D for awhile now, but it's much more obvious that you can do this now...
pretty nice.. i'm excited about dashboard and automator especially...

Too much bandwidth for the site ... someone mirror the site. I would just wait after the spike, but apple will probably have their lawyers email them and take down the pics.

Dude... go here: http://www.uncompiled.com/testing/

It's already been mirrored there as well as on a .Mac account. Read the whole thread.

now if I only had automator to download all those at once

Did anyone else try to click the buttons in the pictures? I caught myself twice trying to move from one option into the other, only to realize it was just a picture...Ok I'm going to be quiet now..

I've gotta confess that no, I didn't

Come on, people! Read the entire thread! Or at least skim through it (the mirrors would have been easy to find. And if they don't just jump out at you right away, do a Find for "Mirror")

I saw the dictionary.app on the tiger systems at macworld. The apple rep told me that a simple dictionary is one of their most requested features, so they included it built into the system. I think it is websters dictionary if I remembered correctly. Looks a lot like omnidictionary, except I think the dictionary is local, not from the internet. There wasn't much to it when the rep showed it to me.

Now, I don't use much dictionary, but as a finnish guy I might, if they only made it multilingual. Don't think they will though.. I love the feature that you can change the language of the system whenever you want (except if the localisation files haven't been installed), but having the speech/speech recognition and the dictionary for all the other languages too would totally kick ass. Maybe those will happen eventually when there's not too much to update in the OS ...and that is pretty much never

"No personal information is being sent". Oh well, I guess they'll have the IP anyway.

Wow. They even left a Quicktime 6 Key in o_0...

That isn't too bright

You can do this now. Turn on "keyboard access" in the keyboard shortcuts tab of the keyboard & mouse preference pane. You can now tab between buttons, drop down lists, etc.

I thought that was sloppy of them.

yeah i can imagine that the initial indexing would take some time. but after that i guess it only updates the index whenever something changes.

spruce ups do occur thoughout the whole system, much needed spruce ups, on top of lots more real deep updates. i personally think panther could have used more of these kinds of spruce ups, but this makes tiger all the more enticing.

something that impressed me very much about spotlight: if you see on one of the pictures towards the bottom, the person did a search for "abba" and yeah it returned their songs and such but it also returned a pdf that had the word "otto" in its name. i'm just so impressed that the spotlight engine returned this. "abba" and "otto" are only related in how they're palendromes of similar makeup, 1221, yet spotlight recognized this. it makes me wonder what else it's capable of. it's quite exciting.

could the "dictionary & thesaurus" app be an interface for the built in dictionary and now thesaurus (idk if that is tru of a thesaurus in the OS, could someone check that) in the OS? The Widget one that Steve showed off at the expo I would assume is connected to on online dictionary/thesaurus resource (ie... http://dictionary.reference.com). Would this not make sense?

NEXTSTEP had a dictionary application. About time it came back.

Regarding the QuickTime serial, that is a default one included with Tiger for developers to test Pro with. Only works with QT 7.0 btw

Also the bug forms do not submit any personal info, not even the IP. It just sends the error info over, that is it.

Thank you, hope Apple don't get me for that

There'd be no need for the widget to connect to the internet if there was a build in dictionary. It's better to reference off the built in dictionary because it's faster and computers that aren't connected can still use the widget.

i hope it includes the ability to do a control click on any word in any application and do a dictionary lookup.

my guess is that the dictionary could be updated online but work fully offline. but thats an obvious guess
