Today's the day for
Mac OS X Tiger (10.4). Operating systems have
come a long way,
baby (what about the
future?), and Tiger presents a couple of features that are worthy of mention because of their design approach. The approach is to let
"tiny-scale developers," developers that might not be able to write an entire application, even a small one, develop plug-ins and extensions for core system functionality.
Dashboard has a budding user community (check
dashboard exposed,
apple's official gallery) as does
Spotlight (and not just a way to add filetypes, check
this out!) and
Automator. It's interesting to note that the most hyped features of the new operating system will all have
end-user-submitted extensions and additions making them even more essential.

TiPaint is for Apple G4 Powerbook owners like me who have blemishes on thier baby's sleek exteriors. I dunno that the fact this product exsits is good or sad, but I know I just bought some and can't wait for it to show up. At least it's not terribly expensive.
