A good example of Gruber a few posts later he wish he wrote something along the lines of "Yeah, iOS is over the top but give it 8 years". Of course no one can call him on it since his comments are turned off. As for Marco I think he's the only guy who's written anything worth reading about iOS 7. Other than that I don't read much of his stuff. Gruber = smug cnut with good links though. |

Registered 11 years agoI like it, although I am not sure it is any smoother or faster as Apple continuously said in their event thingummy yesterday evening.
... it is nice of Apple to let Mavericks be a free update however, I see little reason to pat them on the back for this seeing as Windows 8.1 was free too and I argue that that was a more significant update. -

Mavericks is free for every mac, which means I can update my 2007 macbook that is stuck in 10.5 leopard. So i get every update since then for free. -

Registered 14 years agoI've just installed it on my work Mac Mini. Pretty background, otherwise seems much the same to me, except it now comes with Maps and iBooks. Or perhaps the iBooks logo just changed. Can't complain for free though. -

Registered 10 years agoHad the Gold Master running for a couple of weeks now and a couple of things are noticeably better: memory management (far, far less beach balls and waiting when pushing the machine hard) and battery life (probably getting an hour more on my 2011 MacBook Pro). Other than that, not much, maybe the UI feels a bit smoother and Safari no longer refreshes all tabs if you open loads of them. Well worth the upgrade, just don't expect too many new changes to the built-in apps. -

My point was, a bit of a hoo-ha was made about Mavericks OS X being free last night when I kind of thought to myself, 'well, it's about time!', especially after the recent Windows 8.1 for free too. -

Registered 10 years agoWindows 8.1 is free because it's Microsoft's response to people HATING Windows 8 with a passion, they could hardly charge people for that. And Windows 9 will not be free, whereas the next version of OS X (or OS 11!) will be. -

Mountain Lion, then yes. I'm stuck on Lion because my machine is ancient. -

Registered 14 years ago8.1 is free because it's just a service pack, which have always been free form Microsoft since the dawn of time. It would have come out with or without the widespread hate for Windows 8, although they may not have bothered calling it 8.1 if people loved it. -

Oh wait, I have Mountain Lion. I remember needing to upgrade to it for a program I was using needed it. I guess it must be a 2009 Mini then.

I'd probably use Safari for iPhone/iPad integration but it still feels miles slower than Chrome, and I hate with a passion how Safari handles page back. 3 finger swipe left reloads the previous page completely, two finger swipe left does what you think it ought to do, loads from cache. But it doesn't, it's a briefly frozen image of the previous page that requires some refreshing before you can do anything. Terrible, I think it was 6.0 that brought this "feature". -
I updated from Mountain Lion because I couldn't be fucked to pay twenty bucks to upgrade to Lion/Snow Leopard/Whatever it was called, and I can see and feel literally no difference aside from a couple of new icons. Can someone with a bit more Mac knowledge actually let me know what's changed, 'cause the Apple site basically just goes "you now have iBooks and Maps, so you can drive into a river whilst reading John Donne". -
They've removed the ability to make the dock render in 2D.
Noooooooo! -
Also some of the typographic hinting seems to have changed slightly. Especially noticeable with 15px Helvetica. -

I have found a usefulness. The full Skydrive app now works (because it inexplicably didn't support Mountain Lion). Hooray.
There's a lockscreen now too. -
I've noticed no difference whatsoever other than an ibooks and a maps icon. I assume it might be doing something better in the background but that's it. -

Multi monitor support is stratospherically better. Worth the price of admission - 40 minutes installation -alone. I swear multi monitor was alright prior to Lion, can't remember exactly, but it was unusable in L&ML.
