The day has come. Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger, is now available for pre-ordering, and will be delivered on April 29th. Needless to say I already ordered my copy with that nice little educational discount I get. Why did I pee my pants when I saw that it was finally able to be ordered? Lets review.
Spotlight: Imagine google for all the files on your computer. But not just files - emails, contacts, everything. And also imagine that every search happened in about a second. This is the beauty that is spotlight.
Dashboard: Widgets. Its all about the widgets (mini programs). Press F13 and you see a calculator, check the weather, translate something, even see the status of a flight. Press F13 again and it all disappears and you’re back to what you were working on.
Automator: This is going to make my life at the NSSF a lot easier. A nice program to automate tasks - like resizing 100 images and adding a watermark. Also going to speed up Isaac’s porn-gathering.
Safari RSS: If you aren’t using RSS feeds like mine then you don’t know what you’re missing. Its a great way to keep up with content on a bunch of sites all at once. The new Safari integrates a RSS reader into the browser, making my life of keeping up to date with many sites a lot eaiser.
So if you haven’t already go order your copy or go buy a Mac with it already loaded.
