TILEWINDOWS LITE FOR MAC SOFTWARE

Mail.app is a pointless email client, and I am flabbergasted I still use it every day.Screw aesthetics, Apple, and choose functionality over beauty for a change. It is really annoying when your Mac becomes slow or unresponsive and you have to lay your ear on the keyboard to see hear whether it is still doing something or not. Macs need an indicator LED for HDD activity.

Panther did not have these problems, but Tiger does– and we’re already at 10.4. Another annoying one is the scroll blob which gets, duplicated, or something check the screenshot to see what I mean.

More often than not, text input fields, whether they be on a webpage or in TextEdit or Mail or whatever, show lines twice when you delete a line, or something similar.

Tiger has some serious issues with… Screen remnants.

On Panther (Safari 1.x), you could remove it.

One of my biggest pet peeves: that annoying Google search field in Safari.

If you like graphical consistency, stick with BeOS/Zeta or GNOME.

Some people say Apple is experimenting with all these themes that’s fine, but please keep that reserved for testers, and not for people like me who do not like to spend 130 Euros every 18 months on a piece of software that is only getting more inconsistent instead of less. OSX now has, what, 7 or 8 different themes, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s 6 or 7 too many.

Other than that, this MacBook Pro has a dual-core 2.0Ghz processor and 2 gigabyte of RAM so no wonder it feels faster than on other Macs I’ve tried. While the situation on the MacBook Pro Apple is loaning me has improved considerably, it’s still not what I want out of my operating system.

It seems as if every action just takes a fraction of a second longer on the Mac than it does on other operating systems– as if the MacOS has a continual hangover. Note: This week’s Sunday Eve Column is a little early, as I’ll be in Amsterdam tomorrow, watching the first match of my country in the Football World Cup (against the Republic of Serbia/Montenegro). Here is a list of problems I find the most annoying about Apple’s Mac/MacOS. Besides the usual ‘I do not experience the problems you have, so you must be an anti-GNOME troll!’ and of the course the ever-present ‘How on earth can you complain about Free software!’, it did what is was supposed to do: bring problems under developer’s direct attention (for instance, Evolution’s UI maintainer emailed me, asking for more clarification). Last week’s column was basically a rant about things that bothered me about Ubuntu’s GNOME/Linux combination.
