Addressbook Sharing

At long last, Apple has built Addressbook Sharing into Tiger.  I’m curious to explore how much control you have over the shared data.

QuickTime 7 Pro Again

Going to fullscreen mode in QuickTime 7 triggers a really cool effect where the player scales up to fullscreen.  Neato- glad I paid the $30 wink

Spotlight Is Nice, But…

Spotlight is a nice search tool, but I’m finding that the speed can’t touch LaunchBar.  Sure, its nice to be able to search inside files and the like, but I’m more about opening files and applications without resorting to half a dozen clicks. 

I’m really curious to see how much faster Spotlight is on my dual G5 2.0.  My only experience so far is on my 1.5Ghz PowerBook.

iSync Changes

After setting up Tiger’s .Mac sync and playing for a while, I noticed that the iSync application doesn’t really come into play.  All sync seems to happen in system prefs. 

A quick spotlight search reveals that the application still exists, but is really only used to sync devices now.  Looks like it actually includes a log now- nice.
