UX updates to systems we use always feel weird at first. That said, after a couple of weeks, I hardly notice the changes (even the ones I was initially skeptical of.)
And if you look back at the ones we were once comfortable with, they often seem pretty clumsy.
So, I figure it's easier to just trust that they're going to do a decent job—because the folks at Apple probably know a lot more about building operating systems than I do.
Besides, the amount of innovation on the desktop is so minimal these days. As such, my life probably won't change much no matter what they do.
Unless they make it like Microsoft Bob.

airplay also depends on yr computer too. my late 09 iMac doesn't do shit for airplay. :( #firstworldproblem

In iOS, I want to be able to make Chrome and Google Maps my default. In OSX, I want to be able to AirPlay. I don't expect either of these things to happen since it's their dickness guiding them and not technology or user's needs.
- AirPlay works since 10.8 or souan
- how do you not Airplay already? I airplay everything.ESKEMA

For the love of baby jebus please let me MERGE directories from Finder.
- like cut/paste files?monospaced
- Just merging directories and only overwriting the files that are named the same. OSX will replace the entire contents of subdirectories when you copy over themhereswhatidid
- sub directories when you copy over them. So Folder A completely replaces Folder B, rather than just the overlapping files they contain.hereswhatidid
- files they contain. This is standard stuff on the Windows side.hereswhatidid
- they already merge in recent versions.ESKEMA
- if you copy the contents of one folder into another, and there are duplicates, you have the choice to overwrite or notmonospaced
- merging is there, you just have to do it slightly differentlymonospaced
- http://support.apple…ESKEMA
- If the folders contain different versions of identically named files, the only options are Stop or Replace.hereswhatidid
- This is the part that wipes the entire directory you're merging rather than combining it's contents.hereswhatidid
- well, that's what a merge is, it either replaces or doesn't replace the duplicatesmonospaced
- you wouldn't lose any documents that were differentmonospaced
- No, a merge is combining things. It's not deleting the non-overlapping files.hereswhatidid
- Yes, you do currently in mavericks. Try making two folders with a few files that have the same name. Then try to merge themhereswhatidid
- merge them. Make sure they have a different amount of files within them so you can compare before and after.hereswhatidid
- I did, the result is a folder with a combination of both folders, and all the duplicates are overwritten (by choice).monospaced
- perfect merge and combination of contentsmonospaced
- maybe I don't understand exactly how you're using it wrong, but I assure you that merging is there and workingmonospaced

I'm not defending Maps, it's totally useless to me too compared to Google's browser solution, but you're complaining about a 5.5 MB app that you never, ever have to see. As you know, Apple's put tons of R&D into their maps recently, so having the iOS counterpart developing on both platforms made sense to them, even if it's still young.

All I ask is to be able to move, copy and delete files from within application file windows as per Windows for the past hundred years - can't be hard to implement.
Oh and Maps for the desktop - so useful lol!

I don't get the hate for iOS7. I love it.
It feels really weird and dated whenever I see iOS6 now.
There were issues at first because they had to rush things out but most of it as been ironed by now. I welcome a refreshing change to OSX and am pretty sure they'll do a good job. What I know for sure is whatever they do, a bunch of you guys will always whine.- I don't get how anyone, especially designers think it's acceptable. It's dire.set
- I know tons of designers that are more than happy with it.monospaced
- Wrongensset
- can you send us names and contact details for said designers mono?fadein11
- can you stop being a cunt to me?monospaced
- compared to everything else, i think it's really nice. i enjoy using it and it has found a special spot in my heart.doesnotexist

As long as I can have multiple workspaces I can swipe between quickly, a spacebar that previews any document instantly, system-wide real-time search, and a place to quickly place and find my files, I'm good. Right now the Mac OS does this, and most of it is hidden most of the time anyway. Whenever using Windows I get frustrated not having these tiny OS perks, so as long as Apple keeps them, I don't give a fuck what they do with the polish of the UI.
- hope they include maps again with the desktop version - so useful ;)fadein11
- < Standard features. My life couldn't really get much easier at the moment.Ianbolton
- Maps is not only a very tiny app, it uses absolutely no resources and you never have to see itmonospaced
- why would they get rid of these?doesnotexist
- they wouldn't, that's my point... as long as it's functional and efficient, I have no issue with the skinmonospaced

ugh more bloatware, poor graphics and fluff no-one needs. why can't they strip it back to a bare bones OS and let us benefit from the speed of the new processors?
oh yeah i forgot... features, man, it's all about the noo feechurs
- Bloatware?monospaced
- all those unnecessary "features" that make my new macbook pro run Mavericks as slowly as my old macbook ran SLhans_glib
- that's not the definition of bloatware, btwmonospaced
- yes it is - unnecessary features that slows down the computer is exactly what bloatware is.hans_glib
- I believe bloatware is actually pre-installed applications and trials, not features.monospaced
- like office, or mcafee, or the OEM interfaces, etcmonospaced
- well my definition is better ;) it suggests an unnecessarily overweight object that needs slimming downhans_glib
- which all modern OSs are these dayshans_glib
- initial installation now means spending time putting the system through a detox/slimming programme to make it run quickerhans_glib
- make it run quicker.hans_glib
- You're destined to live a very unhappy life Hans.Ianbolton
- what exactly do you have to fix after an OS X install for it to run faster?monospaced
- switch of all automatic downloads, updates, notifications etc etc.... anything that seems to slow the processor downhans_glib
- @ ianbolton - why? because software engineers are going to ruin it for me?hans_glib

I don't get the problem. The OS is barely noticeable when I have full screen apps running. What doesn't work for you guys right now? Or is that a stupid question?
I prefer chrome over safari, just because I can block the fuck out of ads, but generally everything else I couldn't care less about.

Seriously not fucking looking forward to this, could end up being worse than Tiger or Lion
- The world could end tomorrow too. Actually, I doubt that it will.Ianbolton

Whatever is, I'm looking forward to it. Just don't upgrade to new OS, until at least a few updates in. You'll be fine.

Finally some potentially viable creative suite alternatives are becoming available. I think ubuntu should invest and develop a proper option, they could potentially gain market share that way.
I'd have switched to ubuntu years ago if I could run Adobe cs on it.
- can you run a virtual machine with another os? or defeats the purpose?yurimon
- < yes you canernexbcn
- of course any mac can run any virtual machinemonospaced
