Welcome to DigitalOutbox
|
|
|
|
|
A podcast all about digital technology - computing, gadgets, gaming
|
|
|
|
|
UK based podcast with a real world take on the digital trends
|
|
|
|
|
Snow Leopard
|
|
|
|
|
Install
|
|
|
|
|
Install was painless - around an hour
|
|
|
|
|
On boot SL asked for 'System Events.app' - located in /System/Library/CoreServices/ - pointed to it - never had error again
|
|
|
|
|
Expose
|
|
|
|
|
Clearer
|
|
|
|
|
Click and hold in dock - expose for that app on it's own
|
|
|
|
|
Works with drag and drop of a file
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't work for me - drag a file to Textmate, windows pop up in expose mode, drag file - nothing. Drag file from finder to window - success. Buggy?
|
|
|
|
|
Hold down space over a window to zoom to a readable size
|
|
|
|
|
Dock
|
|
|
|
|
Menus changed, stacks updated to scroll through grids, click on folder to drill within stack view
|
|
|
|
|
Change yellow minimize behaviour so it shrinks to dock icon instead of it's own icon on RHS of dock
|
|
|
|
|
Ctrl click or right click on dock or hold and expose to view
|
|
|
|
|
Quicktime
|
|
|
|
|
Screencasting built in which is simple but won't replace dedicated screen capture app
|
|
|
|
|
Trim similar to 3GS control - very simple
|
|
|
|
|
Cut out many of the Quicktime Pro controls - bundle Quicktime Pro 7 to soften the blow
|
|
|
|
|
Dumbing down app? Similar to iMovie HD?
|
|
|
|
|
Speed
|
|
|
|
|
Small but noticable improvements in speed
|
|
|
|
|
Big time savings on boot, loading in preview etc. Noticable that on app's not optimised for Snow Leopard there's virtually no difference. Should see improvements in 3-6 months?

|
Disk Space
|
|
|
|
|
15GB to 20GB disk space reclaimed after upgrade
|
|
|
|
|
Now reporting disk space using base 10, not base 2
|
|
|
|
|
Wake On Demand
|
|
|
|
|
Need 2007 (or newer) AirPort Extreme Base Station or a 2008 (or newer) Time Capsule
|
|
|
|
|
Works over wireless if you have a 2009 Mac
|
|
|
|
|
Soft Keyboard
|
|
|
|
|
Fuels rumours of touch screen Mac
|
|
|
|
|
Rumours of 13 & 15 inch tablets too
|
|
|
|
|
Malware scanning tool
|
|
|
|
|
Only detects 2 malwares but can be updated via software update
|
|
|
|
|
Is that why theres a subtle change in latest mac vs pc ad's from 'no viruses' to 'without thousands of viruses'
|
|
|
|
|
Services and automator updated
|
|
|
|
|
Services now application specific
|
|
|
|
|
Use automator, you can create a service
|
|
|
|
|
HDTV Support
|
|
|
|
|
Plug a mac into an HD TV and you get some HD friendly resolution settings
|
|
|
|
|
64 Bit
|
|
|
|
|
Apple app's are 64 bit - most others aren't
|
|
|
|
|
Kernel loads in 32 bit for most users, can force 64 by holding down 6 and 4 on boot - can be flaky
|
|
|
|
|
Foundations now in place for dev's to move to 64 bit
|
|
|
|
|
New software
|
|
|
|
|
Compatibility list is very helpful
|
|
|
|
|
Recommend AppFresh to check your installed app's and make sure you get up to date software
