Apple’s next upgrade to OS-X is now being previewed on their website. Nothing earth shattering. There is a systemwide search feature similar to what MS says will be in Longhorn in 2006. Ichat AV allows conference chats, and the new tweaks to Safari, the web browsing app, are really neat. The ‘dashboard’ feature looks interesting, and pretty similar to Konfabulator, as the makers of Konfabulator note with some outrage.
I’m curious to see if Tiger does the amazing thing that all the other OS-X updates have done, though, which is continue to offer speed. I’ve been amazed that in 4 years of buying and getting OS-X updates, my computer gets faster each time. I hope that continues.
Oh yeah, there is gas coming to the house once again. We can cook! We can cook!
Tonight we’re going grocery shopping.
Yay!
(It’s the simple things in life. Really.)

I’ve heard that the next Safari update will include an RSS reader, which will be neat.

Yeah, as well as ‘private browsing’ which is a euphemism for looking at porn without other users on the computer finding out later from the history, they’re racking up some new changes in Safari!
