2) Even I've tried to make an alias of the mother-of-all in the hierarchy (for use in Frontrow) but I don't think one can create an alias of that.

I'm not sure is this is there since Tiger, but when I minimised my iChat window, I found that the user-picture is shown in the dock. Nice touch.

Is it me or has ink improved in Leopard? Cause I'm finding it much easier to write using my tablet. For instance, I wrote all this by hand with my crappy handwriting and no typos.

I guess it depends. I Wrote Hiç using my graphire 4

in other words good hand writing = typos - another boo boo by leopard

 

[goobimama]

I guess. Well I'm not complaining.

Again, is it just me or has speech recognition improved as well? It's recognising my accent quite well. I've set up a lot of stuff to be speakable. Seems to work pretty well.

ooh. There's so many ways to navigate through my mac. I'm spoilt with choices...

 

[iMav]

any help regarding itunes

 

[aryayush]

Nope. But then again, I don't watch movies using Quicklook so I can't really say.

Where did Quick Look come in? No one would watch whole movies using Quick Look. I was talking about QuickTime Player, mate. You gotta start paying some attention here.

For a guy who claims to not like the Mac OS, you spend an awful lot of time customising it.

This time I'm sure. It was there in Tiger too.

 

[goobimama]

Oh right. My brother keeps watching stuff with quicklook so I got confused. Anyway, I don't have that problem you mentioned with quicktime.

 

[aryayush]

You have a brother?

(Thanks for scenehd, BTW! I'm gonna take good care of this baby. First stop: Remy! )

Blah blah blah. Quit the pretense already.

 

[iMav]

me & pretence dont normally come together

 

[aryayush]

LOL! You've got some great grammar there.

One tiny note about Alex, the new synthesised English voice in Leopard - the guy even breathes. I'm not kidding you. It still has some kinks that need to be ironed out but the guy is extremely close to being realistic.

 

[goobimama]

I have a text file in one of my stacks. Inside there are couple of sentences like "Done? Now get the **** out of here!"... I play them sometimes when stupidoes annoy me...

Btw, I have two brothers. (no sisters, in case anyone was getting any ideas)

 

[aryayush]

WOW! And you still get to keep both the Macs!

 

[goobimama]

There's nothing wow about it. Just two greasy brothers. And anyway, no one gets to touch my mac other than it's remote. And I said no sisters. Stop digging around...

 

[aryayush]

Ha! Ha! OK.

(BTW, the short form for "it is" is "it's". In the sentence above, you'd have to use "its", without the apostrophe. )

Have you seen the rumours of the tablet Mac? Even Gruber seems to think that they might be true. Would you guys buy (or be interested in) one if they were and it was launched this January?

 

[goobimama]

Well if it has a multi-touch display, then of course. But if it is anything like the current tablet PC then I dont think so. And of course, if budget permits.

Btw, did you try out the iChat Matte thing that was posted on TUAW? Those Aqua bubbles look so out of place now with the flat iTunesy toolbar et al.

Btw, that it'sy thing. I always get confused. I understand now but I don't think I'll carry it through for more than the next five minutes. Be prepared to correct me again.

Remember we had that discussion about photoshop creating it's own thumbnails and such? Well here's something that'll remove the thumbnails from the icons so OS X can render them...

[yash]

hehe, funny you'd bring up tablet pcs... remember we tried out whether pressure sensitivity worked in remote desktop? Thus, I would rather prefer buying a cintiq.

 

[iMav]

guys is it possible for itunes to automatically update its library????

 

[goobimama]

^^ I don't think so. Stuff has to go through iTunes to get added.
