  • I think... not 100% sure but... I think it was in 10.1.2 that they repaired custom drive icons. (they were broken previous to this update) Funny, I didn't even realize it was fixed till my friend pointed it out... I had been so used to it b…
  • [quote] (about scott_h_noclue): Just one more time...for a person with a doctorate you sure don't know jack f***ing sh!t! I just caught myself posting the same thing a second ago! I hate personal flames, but scott, I haven't seem ONE IOTA of…
  • I also think that, in addition to the removal of debug code in certain places, much of the speed-up comes from good ol' profiling to see where the bottlenecks are, then optimizing the code on a lower level (perhaps even to the assembly) This is…
  • NO, actually conservative estimates at this time suggest that Jaguar will actually slow OS X to a COMPLETE crawl, an improvement over the I-am-dragging-my-crippled-ass-across-RAM crawl we are all accustomed to. For pete's sake....
  • [quote] This plus all removal of any traces of OS 9-style labels... Doesn't removal imply some sort of presence in the first place? Since when did OS X have labels?
  • yes you need at least 512 MB of ram, ideally a Gig to glean professionally acceptable results from OS X (at least IMHO, if others disagree, chime in) BUT, if you really have a new PB on the way, save your money... you will soon find your older G4…

  • So are you I'd wager!
  • Bwah ha ha ha! If there is one thing that mars just slightly the developer experience in OS X, it HAS to be the fact that to use Cocoa (which IMHO is friggin awesome), you must be able to code in ObjC or ObjC++ (w/ the latest full dev release). …
  • Apple not innovative (w.r.t. OS X)... hmmm... Are you retarded? No offense but I would hardly call OS X a rehashing of what has come before. BeOS is a rehashing. In some respects Linux is a rehashing (albeit from the ground up) of UN*X. BUT…
  • well if they are going to embrace this new brushed metal vomit, I hope that they make it truly and fully themeable so I don't have to keep cleaning chunder out of my keyboard everytime I load up iPirate. Actually, it would be very iMac color-l…
  • That comment about the fist gave me a really funny idea... I really want to figure out how to hack the cursor so I can make a hand that "juggles" 4 glass balls in a pyramid or some such, much like the DavidBowie-GoblinKing in that wicked as Henso…
  • Props to StarfleetX for that swanky mov capture! God I love the new beach ball.... Too bad it is so shy...(or wait... that's not what I meant! ) BTW, shout out to my homie whose name is very large in the mov on the Photoshop splash! Joh…
  • [quote] scott_smarty_pants said: The company unable (not willing) to support the hardware. Simple. Well, for all the work, the PhD didn't seem to win you much. Not willing? Good thing you did your research.... Old hardware will not support…
  • Ooo Ooo Sorry for the dblpost, but I forgot to address this one... [quote] But 10.2 should be a robust OS that recent models can use efficiently. Really? What makes you think that? Just where was there evidence that it wasn't? …
  • [quote] Wrong attitude and bad business practices is not thee way to make a company with 5% marketshare grow. In fact, its quite foolish. If 10.2 speeds the OS up to the level of OS9 that would be good enough for most people. If having a better gra…
  • I am JUST a little tired of people whining about QE not being supported on their year-old (even month old...I don't care) computer. Alright. Time to be realistic. Hyopthetical: I am Apple. I make my fortune selling new computers to people.…
  • OMFG You have got to be kidding me right? Live postscript composition rendered in OpenGL providing beautiful onscreen effects that enhance and extend the user-experience in everything from development to games to high-volume digital production. …
  • I have heard that the "Missing Manuals" series is quite decent and affordable for the beginner (oh, and under ~1,500 pages ) I think there is a Missing Manual for OS X (as well as iMovie, etc.) Never read them myself... (Actually trying to…
  • I am sorry, but there is nothing worse than whining cause you didn't hold out for a machine that will support bleeding edge features of a modern OS in development. That IS exactly what is happening here. Besides if there were any content to the …
