Max OS X 10.5, Leopard, is crammed with over 300 new features. I’ve already got it pre-ordered and am eagerly anticipating it’s arrival. Of course, like everyone, I have my favorite new features so without further ado, I bring you a list (in no particular order):
- Greater .Mac syncing: Widgets, System Prefs, Dock, etc.
- Stacks
- System-wide grammar checking
- All of the long overdue iCal features
- Tabbed chat support and Screen Sharing in iChat
- To-Dos and Data Detectors in Mail
- New Airport menu
- Word of the Day screen saver
- Spotlight Application Launching
- Time Machine
So Georgia is running out of water due to a drought. Their governor is complaining that the Endangered Species act is protecting the species that depend on the water in the rivers at the expense of the people of Atlanta.
Hmm…
How about you stop trying to cram tons of people into areas that are not meant to support them? How about you take a more realistic view of your state and understand your natural resource limitations and live within your means?
I don’t mean to pick on Georgia alone, it’s alot of communities in the South and South-Western US. There’s not enough water there, never really has been. And yet more and more people move there taxing the resources. There will be a collapse one day.
I’m sorry Gov. Purdue…I don’t feel bad for you.
I may be an anomaly among people my age, but I have no desire to give up my home phone to just use my cell. Partially because I don’t get super great reception all around my house and partially because I just like having a normal phone.
Now my dilemma, I just wish I could consolidate my “telecommunication” bills down a bit. Right now we pay Cox for cable and internet, AT&T for our CallVantage service for the home phone, and T-Mobile for cell service. I want to get down to having to deal with fewer companies.Cox’s digital phone service is ridiculously expensive so that’s a no go, AT&T has yet to roll out Uverse completely here in Lakewood and I really like T-Mo’s cell service.
What I would really like to see would be T-Mobile offer a VoIP solution in the US. What a perfect way to compete against the entrenched incumbents and allow T-Mobile to offer a cell/home phone solution.Yes, I know they have HotSpot@Home, but their phone selection is rather limited and I like having a separate number for home.
It’s just not the same. Maybe one day they’ll see the potential.
