Apple had a chance, but due to the "My computer, my hardware, my OS, my software, my way of using" philosophy of Steve Jobs, it is behind.

Apple creats a closed platform & rules there.

he thought of monopolising the whole computer industry where as bill gates concentrated on only 1 thing and excelled at it mean while jobs tried to digest more than the half eaten apple in the process almost got his shop closed till i bought his ipod and that saved him

Those looking to enjoy some TV action on there Mac in India can rejoice. Elgato EyeTV isn't available here however Pinnacle is. You will need to buy the external USB Based Pinnacle TV for Mac Hybrid Stick. However this comes bundled with Elgato EyeTV Lite , so at least you can see Heroes or House or Baywatch or whatever u want

It comes with a remote control & DVB-T support.

Leopard gets UNIX 3 certification


Apple gathering press for Mac event next week

Looks like those rumors about new Macs (specifically, iMacs) on the 7th were true -- we were just invited to an Apple "product presentation for Mac" at Apple Town Hall in Cupertino next week. The event gets started on the morning of Tuesday, August 7th, and while we weren't promised an appearance by El Jobso, Apple was, shockingly enough, very open and clear about the fact that this is going to be a press gathering for Mac products (and Mac products only -- so stash away those iPhone hopes, fears, and rumors until next Wednesday).

WOW! This is going to be exciting. News Macs coming this Tuesday.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

I hope the bubble doesn't bursts like a pathetic WWDC 2007, iPhone feature launch, lack of compelling features in Leoapd

 

[aryayush]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Whoa! Lack of compelling features in Leopard!!!

This is the most significant OS X upgrade ever and is ripe with features:
01. 64-bit
02. Accounts
03. Automator
04. Boot Camp
05. Core Animation
06. Dashboard
07. DVD Player
08. Finder
09. Front Row
10. iCal
11. iChat
12. Mail
13. Parental Controls
14. Photo Booth
15. Quick Look
16. Resolution Independence
17. Safari
18. Spaces
19. Spotlight
20. Stacks
21. Time Machine
22. User Interface
23. VoiceOver
24. ZFS

(The ones in bold are the ones I am looking forward to.)

WOW! Even I had not realised there was so much to look forward to. I'm practically salivating here.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

^^^^ Lolz...sorry, i forgot to mention "Lack of any compelling feature compared to Windows Vista"

01. Time Machine
02. Spaces
03. Core Animation

Yup, long due updates in Mac OS.

04. Lifelike synthesised English voice

Hmm....oh sorry I can't compare Vista here

05. Improved and unified user interface

Wasen't it u who said "Whats the need of unified interface. Its easier to recognize & use applications when they have different skins"

06. Dramatic improvements in iChat

Such as....? Still no support for other protocols like Yahoo or MSN when Apple can easily license it.

11. 64-bit - top to bottom

El Jobso said "Tiger is complete 64bit" when it was released.

13. ZFS file system

HA HA HA HA HA, it is not there in Leopard boy

14. Significant improvements in Spotlight

Such as....? Spotlight in tiger also launches applications, so whats new?

Damn....why can't I compare it to vista in this thread

 

[aryayush]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Because I would be totally pwned if you did that. So please keep those comparisons to yourself or limited to other threads.

HA HA HA HA HA, it is not there in Leopard boy

The last thing you should do is argue with me over what is there in Mac OS X and what not. You should have learnt that a long time ago.
ZFS is there in Leopard. It is fully supported but it is not the default.

 

[gxsaurav]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

ZFS is there in Leopard. It is fully supported but it is not the default.

Lolz...again, what is not there by default is not a feature. Apple mention it that ZFS is not there in Mac OS X 10.5, maybe it is there in Mac OS X 10.5 Server. Leopard is still using HFS+ as the native file system. ZFS right now is not even bootable.

Lolz...I now pity your Mac OS X knowledge . Here are some problems of ZFS which makes it useless for consumar grade OS like Vista & Mac OS X

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

"Apple has included a read-only version ZFS in Leopard as a future file system option for high-end storage systems."

This comes from the link you provided yourself. I don't know how you manage to miss details that prove you wrong.

I am not commenting on whether ZFS is good or bad. I've no idea what it is supposed to be (apart from the fact that it is a file system) and I don't care either. All I know is that it is there in Leopard, in whatever form it may be.

And your statement, "HA HA HA HA HA, it is not there in Leopard boy", is completely false - like most of them are.

Lolz....do u understand the difference between read only & fully supported? In this case even MS support Mac file systems over a network in Vista

This is what you said

ZFS is there in Leopard. It is fully supported but it is not the default.

The quote mentioned "Read only"....I just laugh at your knowledge boy. . Here is how it is available.

ZFS "is only available a read-only option from the command line," according to an Apple spokesperson.

Let me know if you call it a user friendly way, & if u r gonna use it

In short, Salesman = Sir, don't go by the technical things. Just look at the UI it looks so cool

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

No, most probably not which is why I did not write it in bold nor did I claim that it was a huge improvement or anything. I just said that compared to Tiger, ZFS would be an addition in Leopard. You are the one who has to pop up after every post I make showing your ignorance about all things Apple. You said that ZFS would not be there in Leopard and you were wrong.

(And I know that, as usual, you will continue arguing until I shut up and never admit to not knowing about something. So continue, just don't expect me to reply.)

An apple OS is always better than smoking.
