TIME proclaims Tiger "Gadget of the Week"

gadget of the week tigerWilson Rothman of TIME.com names Mac OS X Tiger Gadget of the Week.

Cool, albeit a little odd since it's an operating system and not "a small mechanical device or tool, esp. an ingenious or novel one." That definition is from Tiger's built-in Oxford American Dictionary, which happens to be the first bulleted feature that 'we might not know about' that he mentions, after extolling on the virtues of Widgets and the Dashboard.

His list is overall a bit bizarre. The five features he chooses are the Dictionary, Migration Assistant, Quicktime's HD functionality, Album Art as a screen saver, and VoiceOver. These are all cool, but I think most people know at least three out of the five. Also, I honestly think this is the first article I've read about Tiger that doesn't spend several paragraphs praising Spotlight.

Tip of the Day

Use Spotlight as a reference tool. Type any word in the Spotlight box and one of the top entries will be a definition. Click on it, and it will bring up the dictionary application to check the word in either the dictionary, thesaurus, Apple database, or Wikipedia.
