Things Apple should prioritize for 10.5.1 but probably won't:
1. Spaces : Over a decade of UNIX virts implementations and whoever implemented Spaces apparently learned about them through a handful of spied-upon smokeroom conversations. While doped to the gills on cold medicine. Behave like what your target user group (nerds with solaris/irix/linux/bsd experience) is expecting or get the fuck out.
2. Panic On Wake : I'm not the only person who's had this problem. In fact, I'm not the only person who's come close to voiding his bowels upon being woke from a sound sleep. The difference is that Leopard goes the extra mile and occasionally blasts excrement all over the place. More not than often but that still needs fixing, asap. It would be lower on the priority list if more people did like I do and set their Energy Saver preferences to "NO" but they don't. So.
3. "SHARED" Sidebar Tab : Is it a network browser or isn't it? It's disappeared on bda's machine and it's not visible on my home box unless I connect to a server, yet it's plainly visible regardless of network activity on my laptop. On or Off, motherfuckers. Consistency. DO YOU SPEAK IT.
4. The New Finder : Would have made it really easy to organize my porn if the "use as defaults" toggle worked worth a damn. Thank you, Apple. It's also still a braindead shit about numbers:
Not the most elegant or accurate of examples, but Finder isn't the most elegant or accurate of desktops when it comes to listing files with numerical names.
5. The Dock Hack : Works fine on machines that display the gaybar, but glitches out on either my powerbook or machines that don't - my powerbook being a machine that doesn't. Radeon 9600 seems to be Gaybar Minimum, but it's not like I have a wealth of machines to test on.
6. Moveable Type 2.x Preview/Save/Delete Buttons : Are grayed out in Safari 3 for some damned reason. They still work, mind you. They just look like they shouldn't. Since they appear like they damned well should in every other browser ever released in the entire history of the human race, I conclude that this is in fact a fucking BUG as opposed to, say, a feature.
7. Adium 1.1.2 : Apple-A (for "select all") in the text input window produces the error sound effect. I'm reasonably certain that wasn't an issue under 10.4, but damned if I'm going to reinstall an OS just to find out.... and damned if I'm going to run iChat, either way. Fortunately, 1.1.3 fixes this nicely.
