OSX 10.4 (Tiger) is due to be shown at WWDC, and AppleInsider has some speculation/rumor/info about it.<br><br>Of interest to me was:<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>Updated Finder and Mac OS X interface<br><br>Of course, no major Apple OS upgrade would be complete without several user experience and interface changes. The latest internal builds of Tiger reportedly sport a much improved Finder window sidebar, which sources have described as looking more like a 'web page' sidebar, than the current and icon-name scheme presented in Mac OS X 10.3 Panther.<br><br>Along with these appearance changes, sources said that Apple will be broadening the functionality of the sidebar, specifically adding interaction with the internet. And while sources provided no specific details of functionality, industry analysts speculate that users of Tiger will be able to drag and drop internet bookmarks into the sidebar, for immediate Finder access to choice web pages and services.<br><br>Sources also said that Apple plans to add several new 3D effects to Tiger, but provided no specific details.<p><hr></blockquote><p>The downside is (if true) what comes at the end of the article:<br><br><blockquote><font size=1>In reply to:</font><hr><p>There are also mumblings that the company may plan to charge more for the Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger update than it did for last year's Mac OS X 10.3 Panther refresh, though AppleInsider could not immediately confirm these rumors.<br><p><hr></blockquote><p>An October release date is the "best guess"<br><br>

What I would like would be better finder performance, particularly when it comes to network volumes. <br><br>I am sure it will be the same price, I can't imagine apple doing that. <br><br>

"Apple plans to add several new 3D effects to Tiger"<br><br>Yay! Now when we click "Don't Send" on the crash report it will be the ultimate Mac experience!<br><br>I notice the article didn't mention a checkbox labeled "Turn this fscking metal sh!t off now!"<br><br>

hahahahaha<br><br>

I don't write it, I just report it... <br><br>

Cool.<br><br>Now, how do I turn it off in XP?? (...no, really!)<br><br>

There's nothing worth crashing in Linux.<br><br>

yeah, that's true. Crashing Linux has the same excitement level as crashing two rocks together... nothing really happens but a bunch of visual noise.<br><br>
