Third Parties Already Taking Advantage of Tiger 371

tezbobobo writes "Tiger been out hours and already the Apple download page has been updated to take advantage of the update's new features. These cover areas including Spotlight plugins, Dashboard plugins, and Automator plugins. These allow a range of actions from searching within omnigraph documents (spotlight), to resizing photoshop documents (automator), and (my fav) a dashboard wireless locator. The best bit -- a cursory glance indicates about half are freeware."

I mean, seriously. How much Mac software is the equivalent of "faceplates for your cell phone?"

Yeah I mean how many metadata plug-ins do we need to be able to search the text inside our prototyping, graphics, and organization applications. I mean this must be like the 50th time someone has provided a way for me to instantly search my system for tree diagrams in a proprietary format with particular text in them.

Oh wait, no it isn't.

I knew a guy in college who tried to take advantage of a tiger. They never did find all the bits.

"Third parties already taking advantage of Tiger"

See, this is why I'm in favour of the two-party system; you just can't trust those third parties. Bunch of savages.

Wait, what are we talking about again?

I just got my iBook G3 700mhz in October 2002. I've already bought Panther to put on it. I can't believe Apple wants me to pay for another upgrade. This is outrageous. I'm switching to Windows. At least then I don't have to buy another upgrade for 7 or 8 years.

And the time before it at 10:20 PM. I got there early and still didn't get in the door until midnight. And the line behind me was as long as ever. And all I got to show for it was a t-shirt, mousepad, refrigerator magnets and a copy of OS X that will not boot any of my current machines.
