A few Tiger Questions (as of current version)
I have a few quick questions as of the current version of Tiger (10.4)
1) all of the Tiger Screenshots show the Spotlight thing where the name for FUS usually goes. Is FUS still in or around the same spot?
2) I thought i remember hearing that you can make Dashboard come on at a hot corder but i haven't seen it since. Is that available?
3) Can you rearrange the order of the icons on the bar at the top right?
4a) If you have a CoreImage ready computer (my PB 12" is...i think) will it slow the the computer at all? I am not sure because i think it uses the video ram but, like i said, I'm not sure.
4b) regardless of our computers compatibility with CoreImage, can you turn it off. (Not that i don't love a bit of eye-candy)
Thanks all!
EDIT: #3 chnaged "top left" to "top right"

Comments
1)Does Safari still have the "private Browsing" thing?
2) Besides Smart-folders as part of Spotlight, does the Finder have anything new
3) With 10.2-10.3 we saw a huge jump in usability of Disk Images (Notably SparseDisk Images). I do not know much about what you can do with the Terminal but is there any other cool disk image featured yet to be GUI-ified that we see in Tiger?
Don't know if that's still the case in the latest builds.
Sorry, top left of what? In dashboard? Don't really know.
CoreImage will work on most machines out there from the last several years, but its effects are scaled back if the CPU is carrying the load instead of the GPU. You don't get ripple effects in dashboard for example. Most of the time, it shouldn't slow you down. The most intensive CoreImage-like effects in Keynote 2 for example, aren't avilable if your graphics card can't do the work.
I think Safari still has private browsing.
Only new things I know about are the Spotlight view and smart folders.
No clue on the last point.
I actually meant top right.

Well, Why do you think apple made it?
Anyway, it's not for what i think you think i think i want it for (Yes, that actually did make sense). I want it for certain ebanking stuff and sites where i don;t want cookies or, sites i already have cookies but i temporarily don't want to be seen

Yes. You hold down the Command-key and drag the icon to its new position.

And it's been available for about as long.
Try it in Panther.

Apple should integrate .Mac services into the Tiger Server release this summer (if not, certainly include it in later versions). Jobs seems to be headed down this path with the iChat server to be included in Tiger. My ideas: Enterprise Mac: .Mac Integration into Tiger Server
I think this deserves it's own thread but....do you mean to say like an Enterprise version of something that has .Mac features?

Exactly. I think an enterprise version of .Mac would be a key reason for a small business to switch over to OSX Tiger. To get that kind of functionality at an enterprise level requires very expensive software from Veritas, Microsoft (to name a few) and lots of overhead. An Apple solution would be very simple.

I think you should start up a discussion and lets discuss that in there
If I type something in the comments field in Get Info dialog of a file, will I be able to search for keywords in that field using Spotlight and display them?
Example: I receive a lot of PDFs from colleagues. I usually place in the comments field the name of the person who sent it to me. It would be great to be able to pull up all the PDFs from a particular person just by typing in their name in the search box.

P.S. Yes, I know that it would be easier to just group all the PDFs into folders based on who sent them to me, but I have another type of filing system for my PDFs based on subject.

I posted a new topic about an enterprise .mac server edition. I'm very interested in other's ideas.
Can I turn off the indexing fuctions of Spotlight in Tiger? Although I am very sure that it will be useful for some people, frankly I never have a problem finding things now.
