“As well as new iPads, Apple is expected to release the latest update to its OS X operating system at its 22 October event in San Francisco,” Sophie Curtis reports for The Telegraph. “The Telegraph takes a look at some of its most exciting features.”
10 new OS X Mavericks features to watch out for:
1. iBooks
2. Apple Maps
3. Shared Links
4. AirPlay Display
5. Finder tabs
6. Tags
7. iCloud Keychain
8. Enhanced dictation
9. Interactive Notifications
10. App Auto Updating
Each of the 10 items above discussed in the full article here.
And the price is?
Take a guess.
$29.95.
Bet you pounds against dollars that it’ll be $9.99.
I say free.
$19.99 or free, I could see either one.
$19.99 no more, no less.
Sheriff Bart said $29.95. That came from Hedy Lamar.
It’s HEDLEY !!!
That’s HEDLEY Lamar, you fool!
Zeke, I guess no one here remembers Blazing Saddles. 😉
Candy gram for Mongo. Candy gram for Mongo. And, yes, I do remember Blazing Saddles. Blazing Saddles is one of the best comedies ever made. I wish Mel Brooks made more films.
FREE?
You just can’t trust Hedy.
inexpensive by any standard
I suppose, but I’ve been running the first GM for a couple weeks on a non-mission-critical MacBook Pro and am mostly struck by how little difference there is between ML and Mav. I’d hope that Apple prices 10.9 at $9.99.
If there is little difference don’t upgrade. keep using ML.
Apple should charge enough to make a profit on the cost of its development plus ~5-10% profit margin within the next OS development cycle. This would be easy for Apple to calculate based on past sales volumes.
To those who propose that Apple charge less than the price of a decent dinner: why??? You know you’re going to pay whatever Apple asks for it anyway. Don’t attempt to tell us you spent >$1k on a Mac some months or years ago and now can’t possibly cough up more than one lousy ATM food stamp.
I say $19.99 perhaps you will get the iWork apps for free with the download.
$6.66
And the price is? $19.99?
But wait, there’s more! If you order now ….
$19.95
Ask Bob Barker
Is it going to automatically copy your keychain to the cloud before it even asks if you want to do that?
NO, you have to turn that function on in the iCloud settings.
My favorite features are a return to professional looking calendar and contacts apps.
If it was free, how many seconds until it’s top of the Free Apps chart?
Just from this list of ten items, OS 10.9 looks like a winner.
I can’t wait to begin studying for my certification in this killer Mac OS.
i am looking foreward to Mavericks
Seriously? This is what we’re supposed to be exciting for in a new OS release? What a disappointment.
$29.95 and iWork is free.
Bingo. Check back later, if we’re right dinner’s on me. At Delmonico’s.
Apple Maps! 🙂 🙂 🙂
NOT looking forward to a multi-gigabyte download on my crappy connection. ML took me days. Apple, bring back OS sales on DVD.
iBooks, AirPlay Display, and Finder tabs: that’s enough. Where do I download?
This the last the series then we turn it up to 11!
To me all these changes are esoteric and unimportant. Why not add more functionality to copy and paste…often you cannot copy text on the web or you have to copy an entire page. This has not been updated since OS8! How about adding color and font selections in Addressbook. How about giving back the “bounce” feature in Apple Mail. I would bet that everyone who gets this update will find that their printer, scanner will no longer work.
I’m with you on that one. I’m desperate to find a way of bringing back the ‘Bounce’ to Mail.
