Jaguar Observations...

Thought I'd just start a thread where people can post their Jaguar observations that aren't on apples site or anything. I'll just put up a few to start.

1. Selecting files on the desktop is much smoother. The little transperant box clings to the mouse much better than it did before.

2. Quicktime movies in games run smoother.

3. Scrolling in internet explorer is MUCH smoother.

4. iDisk navigation is several times faster.

5. They replaced the beach ball with something more aqua, and really pretty. I almost wish my computer would hang more to see it...Wait, no I don't.

6. I've had a weird bug about 2 times where the contents of a window would fail to redraw, leaving the window with a weird blurry goup thing inside. Minimizing the window and maximizing it again seems to fix this.

I would have responded if I was running Jaguar. But I'm not so I won't.

I guess I assumed that a lot of people in here had access to Jaguar. Well for those of you who don't, is there something you want a screenshot of or want to know about?

Here's an observation. Apple-I takes you to the new information window, but Apple-P takes you to the old one. I found this out on accident.

Cool. Can I ask you what kind of speed boost you get on your iMac? Quartz stuff on my powerbook isn't really faster except for transperancy and scrolling in a few applications.

Super cool useless feature!

Hey guys I just found a super cool never before discussed (I think) feature of Jaguar!

Under the services menu there is now a "summarize" service. Select some text from any cocoa app and go into summarize. It launches a little application called "Summary Service" you then have a bar to select the length of the summary and summary service will generate a summary of the text! Its very weird I'm posting a screenshot.

Here you see a 20 page essay I wrote very condensed.

I have no idea how this program decided to select those paragraphs.
