It ’s the day before Apple ’s WWDC , and we ’re dreaming of what goodies Stevie J. will disclose at the keynote . Last calendar week , O’Grady catch his O’Hands all O’ver what search like detail of the next revision of OS X , AKA Leopard . Giz took a look at the long - ish stake , and sorted out what we think were the new operating arrangement ’s six best feature . ( All surmisal , of course . Please do n’t sue us , Steve . )
1 . Spotlight Really Spotlights
Spotlight , the OS ’s index and search tool , will highlight search results in heart-to-heart windows , or on the desktop ( see the mental picture above . ) It ’ll also direct outcome by metadata like particular date require or file character .
More when you jump .
2 . contrivance On the Desktop : Widgets that are usually used can be placed on the desktop . Just hale an icon to the dashboard and wait two s . The dashboard will then fade out , the gizmo ’s icon will come out in the bobtail and it will be treated as an app .
3 . iChat buff
rendering 4.0 of iChat underpin MSN and Yahoo integration , 7 - way video conversations , and “ better Voice over IP integration . ”
4.Safari ’s Tabs
For those times when we ’ve got dozens of tabs open , and want to boot , Safari can save the commonwealth of its tabs . Also , Safari v3.0 gets integrate FTP documentation , a phishing filter , better RSS backup , and for added security measures , fetch an “ closing off box . ” The loge is dedicated disk and memory that ’s encrypted in its own file system of rules , to forbid maliciousness - codification from being lam from the web internet browser .
5 . Mail ’s New Looks
post gets a widescreen interlingual rendition , to take better reward of all the new machines ’ wider look LCDs . There ’s also a Gmail - alike thread opinion .
6 . iCal as an Organizing Tool
O’Grady only says that iCal 3.0 has “ 25 different system proficiency , ” which , in our Fanboy - dom , we ’ll translate as an improved To Do listing . Hopefully , it ’ll be a package opposite number to David Allen ’s vastly usefulGetting thing Done framework . ( For more on GTD , see out sister siteLifehacker . )
