I am unable to get this to work. I get the QT icon and the graphic going back and forth but nothing happens. No network traffic at all if I'm to believe the activity lights on my Airport Base Station. This isn't the first time a QuickTime stream has not worked.

Must have just been a supply/demand problem.

Working fine now w/o any changes except to keep trying. No opening of ports required.

Works fine here

you might need to open the qt stream port id on your basestation.

That was very nice. A video stream makes the OS look much better. I love the spinning widgets.

Based on the demos we saw today, it sure looks like Tiger is a lot closer than the first half of 2005. Each feature that was demonstrated seemed very mature. I wonder what kind of work still remains.

I have a better appreciation for the features they introduced today having seen the stream. Very exciting stuff for developers, I think users will be pleasantly surprised when it ships.

Wow.. same here. After watching the stream, I am very impressed. iChat looks awesome... Dashboard looks a hundred times cooler (I also liked the UPS tracking widget

). Automater is very impressive. I can't wait

It probably has more bugs than the state of Minnesota right now.

Also, there are probably a bunch of other, undisplayed features that are not finished yet. Remember. Tiger is supposed to have 150 new features, and they only showed 10.

Same here. When I woke up today reading the summary at Macrumors and other websites, I was basically unimpressed (ho hum -- from sleep). so unlike the G5 announcement last year, none of the announcements got me out of bed with a jolt. Safari RSS? Yeah, yeah. Better SMB? Expected. H.264? Ok. Core Video/Image? What's that? -- basically, nothing "must have." At least until I saw the stream... Sometimes, you just gotta get a dose of that reality distortion field.

Well, Mac OS X Panther also touted 150+ new features, but several of them are minor/subtle. Only a few are touted as the major ones: Expose, iChat AV, Fast User Switching, File Vault, Pixlet, Font Book, XCode, and so on.

Perhaps they are minor to you, but many of them allow developers to make better applications for you.

Don't bitch about Core Image being boring if you later cheer about Graphic Converter getting better filters.

Tiger will be absolutely amazing. The stream just made me appreciate some of the features (especially Spotlight and Core Image/Video) even more. Since I use OmniWeb, the new Safari RSS feature doesn't excite me and Dashboard is still the King Of Uselessness IMHO. And what's up with those hideous blue ends on the menu bar? I'll need a theme to get back to a plain white bar the instant I buy Tiger.

Still, I can't wait for the release!

Diggory Laycock · Jun 29, 2004, 07:47 AM

Two things I noticed in the Stream:

1 - Steve's new Mispronounciation this year "Processece" - in stead of Processes.

2 - Sal demoed an Automator Workflow that is ideal for porn
