Hmm, yes. Tiger. To be previewed at tomorrows World Wide Developers Conference.
I don’t really care about all the new widgets (I find it quite hard to see how they can better Panther - it addressed pretty much all my concerns with Jaguar), I just hope they fix these two incredibly irritating things:
1. Safari’s URL Autocompletion.
Should go from the smallest URL visited at the site who’s address is currently being typed to the biggest, not the other way round. Duh…
2. Page Up/Page Down/Home/End
On my PowerBook, as with most laptops, in order to page up/down or go to home/end on a line, i have to use a funky key combination due to the lack of dedicated keys. This I don’t have a problem with. No, what I have a problem is that Apple can’t seem to make their mind up whether to standardise it as fn+Arrow or Command+Arrow, instead leaving it up to individual developers it seems.
Consequently you get used to doing it one way in one application, switch to another and go flying all over the page.
Here’s to hoping…

and here was I thinking you meant Tim Henman… anybody know why a player who has never won a tournament has the nickname ‘tiger’? wouldn’t ‘kitten’ or ‘loser’ be more appropriate?

he’s doing alright. for an english sportsman. i hear we lost like three major sporting events in as many days over the weekend.
i think we are pretty good at inventing sports, just not so hot at actually playing them…

Yeah, he’s doing ok. He just has this tendency to get to quarter finals and then choke when the pressure builds. Hehe, yeah we keep getting destroyed at rugby, and the football was disappointing…

He did the usual. But I think it’s a stupid British thing to dis him, he’s got to the quarter finals each time, which puts him in the top 8 in the world, which is pretty damn good. But because he didn’t actually win overall, everyone gripes about how crap they think he is…

So true. He is a good player so you’d think that everyone would give him a break.

Woohoo! I have Tiger! Except that since I can’t boot from a mounted image, I can’t install it. And since the image is DVD sized and not split into multiple CDs, I can’t install it that way either. Maybe its time to get that powerbook with the superdrive…
