To upgrade the MAc Mini to Tiger or not?

To upgrade the MAc Mini to Tiger or not? 04/13/2005 05:42 AM

Well I have used my Mac Mini quite a bit. I still find it more convenient to work in windows. I hate to say it but the OS has not really grown on me that much.

I have not seen were I can really do anything smarter in OS X then windows. The main things I do like about it though is how easy it is to install and un-install applications. I like the mouse but otherwise it is a computer.

I am sure I will be crucified by the Mac zealots but I even find doing podcast on the Windows machine is much easier than the Mac. Simple reason is and it's a secret that Apple probably does not want getting out, the audio amplifiers inside all Macs are set at a fixed amplification level and you have to drive the heck out of the audio input on most Macs to get the audio levels correct.

Heck the mini does not even have a microphone input and while using the Griffin iMic and trying to record I get annoyed after about 30 seconds due to the audio delay being fed to my headset.

Don't get me wrong the mini was a lot of bang for the buck but after hearing my friends talk about how amazing the Mac was I am still wondering what they are talking about it's a computer.

So the question now becomes will I upgrade to Tiger. I suppose if the mini will handle it I will, just because I am a geek. I have finished learning OS X so I might as well. [Yahoo]

Eye of the Tiger

Eye of the Tiger 03/13/2003 12:53 PM

If you really need to have that extra edge when you play, there's a bizarre new "Focus Trainer" from SportsLink that's supposed to improve concentration and focus before atheletic activity and really get you into "The Zone". It sounds more like a trip to the Laserium if you ask us:

First, find a nice quiet place where you won't be bothered. Put the glasses and headphones on and pick a session. You can choose from 15 of them, ranging from "relaxed calmness" to "anxiety release." Press Start and wait. After a 10-second countdown, you hear a weird noise like a soothing low feedback. It gets louder and then softer, stunted a bit and then drawn out. Then the lights kick in. There are six small, flashing lights that blink furiously on the top rim of the glasses. Shut your eyes, take some deep breaths, and the effect is really strange.

Tiger Previewed

Tiger Previewed 06/28/2004 04:31 PM
Steve Jobs has been previewing some of the key features of Tiger at the WWDC in San Francisco. All the new stuff is on the Apple website, but here’s a diluted list :

• iChat AV — updated to include multi-way AV conferencing (with a funky 3D interface).
• Safari RSS — an updated version of Safari to allow reading and management of RSS feeds.
• Dashboard — open & manage Konfabulator-style widgets
• Spotlight — super-fast global search facility. Search through your contacts, iCal diaries and email as well as files.
• Automator — create and deploy actions to perform common routines (in a great looking interface too).
• Xcode 2.0 — updated version of Apple’s IDE (with visual modelling and improved Java support).
• VoiceOver — the much heralded Spoken Interface. A system-wide feature which makes Tiger the most accessible OS available.

Sounds great, but I may save the cash and put it towards one of those gargantuan 30-inch Studio Displays…

First impressions of Tiger...

First impressions of Tiger... 06/28/2004 04:31 PM

A few first impressions of Apple's upcoming Operating System: Tiger:

• Spotlight - basically an Apple native verstion of Launchbar with a few self-evidently nice features (searching Mail). After using Launchbar for a while I can state without question that it feels like part of the OS after a while, so if the Apple version has the similar ability to run it without using the mouse, then I'll be pretty happy. I doubt Objective Development will be, of course...
• iChat AV - the new version allows you to conference call ten people and video chat with loads of people too. That's pretty cool. I'm pretty bloody impressed by that. It's going to be pretty awesome and totally what I've been hoping they'd do. It fits in really well with some other thinking I've been doing...
• Safari RSS - sites with RSS feeds are marked when you go to them, which is cool, and then you can subscribe to them directly through the interface. I'm not convinced by their interaction design here - I suspect I'll keep using NetNewsWire for the time being - but it's certainly a positive step that can't help but make RSS penetration...
• Dashboard - basically this one is a fucking rip off of Konfabulator and I'm pretty pissed off about it. I'm not a particular fan of the paradigm, but I don't think that's pertinent - unlike RSS feeds and the Launchbar knock-off there doesn't seem to me to be really any reason for building this into the OS, it's not particularly interesting or powerful and it really does seem just like nicking someone else's ideas and lobbing them into your Operating System because you can. Harsh, Steve. Harsh...
• Automator - as far as I can tell this is a GUI for AppleScript, allowing people like me who get scared by even the simplest of scripting languages to automate tasks quickly and easily without ending up dribbling into a cup. My personal jury is out on how useful it'll actually be on a day-to-day basis but that doesn't mean that I'm not impressed. AppleScript for the rest of us?
• VoiceOver - a spoken interface for the Mac. I'm not really qualified to comment on the technology, but certainly the aspiration is good and important and I don't doubt it'll serve Apple well in cracking governmental markets. My only quibble - I'm not so impressed by the little white man they made in Illustrator to put in the logo. He looks a bit lame and ... bendy ...
• .Mac sync - a revised version of iSync with a simpler UI and apparently some developer hooks. It still pisses me off that you have to have a .Mac account to do any syncing across the internet. I can't quite believe that function is worth the $60 a year, nor do I think it's even vaguely conceivable that you couldn't explain to someone how to set up a server to handle that stuff themselves... Seems like a slightly shitty attempt to drill money out of you in an entirely random way...
• Better Unix - neat! I think!
• XCode 2.0 - wish I understood it!
• System Wide Metadata Indexing - this is seriously cool and API'd up the wazoo so hopefully it will start to lay the foundations of the Finder technologies of the future...

All in all the big news for the operating system is the integration of search and metadata technologies into the heart of the Operating System. The Safari RSS and iChat AV stuff is pretty cool too and everything else looks like tweaks, gimmicks or outright rip-offs. I wonder when it's out?
