Our new podcast: Meet...
We know. Podcasts are so last year - but this one you won't want to miss. Whether it’s a rumor that won’t die, a new product announcement, or just a really good Macintosh or iPhone app find that we have to let you know about, we’ll make sure it’s covered on Appletellcast.
iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
As we’ve already seen, 10.5.2 has fixed some things that many users complained of, most notably in the dock. You can now completely turn off Stacks, or show Stacks in a list view, among other things. Unfortunately, the ability to change from 2D to 3D anywhere, of which a screenshot was forged, is not an option, at least in the latest 10.5.2 builds.
Apple needs to continue to move towards bringing spaces back up to where it was originally in the developer builds. Most notably, there needs to be an option for making a random selection into a stack. This means being able to select 5 items from your desktop, one from Applications, and 2 from the Documents folder, dragging them to the dock, and having them form a Stack. This was present and, as far as I know, stable in the developer builds, and I can’t for the life of me figure out why they decided to remove the feature. It was the only real “improvement” that Stacks offered over the old “folder in the dock” from Tiger, besides the arguably easier browsing.
If Apple doesn’t re-instate that feature, then they absolutely must put this one in (though it would be great to have anyway): If there is a folder inside the stack, clicking on it should not open it in the finder, it should fan out, replacing the current stack.
Elsewhere in the System, Leopard needs to get a hold on Airport. I pretty much expect to have to reconnect manually each time I wake from sleep now…
Front Row also needs some attention… It’s crashed a few times.
Luckily, 10.5.2 looks to be very helpful, packing a list of over 30 fixes, including fixes in Data Detectors, Dock, Finder, Grammar Checking, iCal, iChat, Mail, Parental Controls, Quick Look, Rosetta, Safari, Time Machine, AirPort.
