10/28/2003 11:07 PMIt seems like every time Apple releases a minor update, the mac
lovers from all over exaggerate their upgrades into gifts from god
that made their computers faster, their bodies sexier, and their lives
richer.
Not being a huge Apple fanboy myself, I just want the thing to
work, to come close to the speed of my PC, and to be more stable. It
looks like Panther is the first release
that lived up to the hype, for me at least. My powerbook seems
downright peppy and I haven't seen a swirling beachball since I
upgraded. Mail and iChat finally seem stable and Mail isn't going
unresponsive when I have more than one window open. I finally see what
everyone was raving about with Expose, having a quick keyboard
shortcut to get to other windows on a crowded monitor is a
lifesaver.
I haven't dived in much deeper than that, but so far I'm very happy
with the $130 package.

broken his relative silence and published 3 articles on Panther.
- Make

- This is simply a listing of Tog's favourite third-party shareware
add-ons, such as DragThing, ASM and WindowShade X (though I can't
understand how he left out LaunchBar).
- Panther :
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
- This is a more interesting take on some of the user interface
decisions Apple made in Panther. Being a founder of Apple's Human
Interface Group, Tog has some interesting opinions.
- Top
9 Reasons the Apple Dock Still Sucks
- The third article, this is a well founded rant about the
much-aligned Finder application, presumably because he couldn't fit it
all in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

I had to edit my Apache config file a little to get it all going, but
this was probably down to my previous attempts to get Tomcat piped
through Apache. If you haven’t messed about with your Apache/PHP

long been available as a downloadable public preview version for Mac
OS X v10.2.x "Jaguar," but this signifies its final v1.0 release. And
according to Apple's specs, X11 for Mac OS X v1.0 requires Panther

The "Little" Changes In Panther: Which
Ones Were Worth It?
The "Little" Changes In Panther: Which
Ones Were Worth It?
11/12/2003 09:06 PMAs I went down the list of small things that had changed in Panther, I
found myself repeatedly asking: "Was this change worth it?" That is,
did the change improve the OS enough to justify the headache of having
to revise my book? Happily, the answer was most often yes. But there
were some resounding no votes as well. Here's a sampler of these
smaller changes in Panther -- and my vote as to whether or not the
change was worth making. By Ted Landau (MacFixIt via MyAppleMenu)
First thoughts about Panther...
First thoughts about Panther...
10/29/2003 12:10 AMAfter a highly enjoyable Panther install party around Mr Webb's house, I'm now
in a position to give my first impressions of Mac OSX.3. In no
particular order (and with no claims made towards total accuracy):
- The new chrome Apple logo that you get when you start up or login
to your account is bloody ugly and and tacky and I can't see what
motivated them to use it;
- My spacing between icons is strange and seems absurdly large;
- I can't use the trackpad to click on the login screen - which is
highly annoying;
- Removing the clock application was a strange move, but merging it
with the clock in the menu bar and allowing you to choose how to use
it makes a certain amount of sense. Having said that, when you switch
from digital to analogue view you're left with a strange shadow box
around the analogue face, that seems to be a bug;
- There are a number of occasions where windows appear partly
obscured by the top menu bar - this is strange behaviour and
confusing, and is hence probably a bug;
- Fast-user switching is well-represented and mostly elegant,
although the rotating cube is actually just really funny to watch
because it's so over-the-top;
- The application switcher (Apple-Tab) is beautiful, elegant and
well-developed;
- The Font Book application is initially confusing, but is likely to
have considerable utility; The redeveloped default font pane is really
useful;
- There are a number of strange new interface widgits around the
place, including a kind of tiny, almost unnoticeable nubbin that
allows you to drag entirely random panes out the side of other panes.
This is particularly evident in the Font applications and is
extremely strange and clunky. The generic font interface also
has some odd rotating knob controls that don't act quite the way I
expected;
- Both modes of the Finder are powerful and mostly functional, but
the 'action' button is a terrible confusing mistake and both views
could have done with more polish and attention to detail. They are -
however - much much faster and more responsive as windows, which is
much to be applauded;
- Subtle dividers in the top-menu items are extremely elegant,
practical and pleasing, but the generally flatter, greyer interface is
a bit of a downer;
- Exposé's controls are in a bit of conflict with some of my
illluminated keyboard controls, but that doesn't matter - it's a
beautiful, elegant and well-presented feature that may take a little
one to become habituated with, but is likely to be transformatively
useful;
- Mail's new threading mode is totally incomprehensible;
- Mail is faster, more responsive and more strident than you'd
think;
Generally, I'm impressed by the functionality but not impressed by
the finish. This one feels half-done - that it wasn't possible to get
it any further down the line before launch date. I have a feeling that
over the next few months we'll see a few patches that resolve 90% of
OS's problems. And when they do - it's going to be more awesome than
ever.

What to do before installing Panther
10/29/2003 12:10 AMWith Panther's launch date coming quickly (this Friday!), I thought it
was a good time to remind you
what to do before making a major OS update. It's a scary
time for a lot of people, especially switchers who may never have done
something of this scale to their Mac before. but, the grass is green
on the other side--Panther really kicks.

10/28/2003 11:08 PMWell, I broke down and bought Pather. It's pretty darned cool and
seems snappier for many things. And, of course, Exposé is
damned cool, triggering my magpie tendencies. I do like all the
rounded and shadow stuff, and the fact that the crappy metal can be
turned off in the finder windows makes me very happy. Up until now,
I've not had any huge issues with it. I had to relink Emacs, but
that's no big surprise--I have to do that after every sub-point
release anyway. Got me why, but I just keep the source around. I
should probably resync...
