Mac OSX Tiger is better then I expected…
Apr 30th
The last few weeks the hype surrounding Tiger’s release made me skeptical to say the least. I was expecting some minor updates and a boat load of gadgettesk features. Well those features are indeed there. But the OS itself also had a nice overhaul. In general everything runs a bit smoother and I can’t escape the idea that more thought went into how a normal user would perform tasks on the system.
Spotlight is great too… But I can’t wonder about the difference in legislation. A certain Redmond based company get all kind of demands based on the fact that it’s all integrated. Somehow this doesn’t apply to Apple it seems. Seems being a monopolist isn’t allways a good thinh… 
Finally an easy way to blog…
Apr 30th
A while ago I switched to an Apple. But since I am not running firefox on my Apple. I haven’t been able to use the handy browser plugin that lets me blog.
No since OSX Tiger I can use a handy dashboard widget. Very neat. Very easy. Perhaps I’ll blog a bit more now.
