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.
EDIT: MacRumors forum posts appear to contradict this. nonetheless, it is something they should add, and hopefully will, in 10.5.2.
In addition to the new stacks abilities in Mac OS X Update 10.5.2, Apple is now making it easier for the end user to choose what type of dock he would like.
As seen in the above picture, a right click on the dock divider now adds an option for making the Dock a 3D “Shelf” or “Flat” Black 2D. It was already possible to do this in previous version of Leopard, but it required running a terminal command, something that many end users may not be comfortable with.
Another thing to note about this feature is that at least judging by the picture, the 2D dock gets a slightly new appearance at least on the bottom in 10.5.2. You’ll notice that in comparison to the picture below of 10.5.0 and 10.5.1, the new 2D dock is slightly more glossy and features luminous dots for the divider. It also appears not to be translucent, but that is likely because of the dark background behind it.
Above: Old 2D dock, only enable-able through the terminal.
10.5.2 has been seeded to developers and will most likely arrive in tandem with MacWorld 2008 in mid-January.
