I’m curious to see if this will cause delays when switching applications – Apple obviously claims it doesn’t, but I’m sceptical. This should lead to obvious power use reductions. They’re not pausing the application they’re allocating less resources to it.

those hidden by other windows ) and that aren’t actually doing something. Not only is this faster than swapping to disk (even to SSDs), but Apple also claims it saves power – essentially, that compressing data in memory uses less power than writing data to disk without compressing it.Īs the name implies, App Nap will limit the resources allocated to invisible applications (e.g. Compressed Memory compresses the least recently used data residing in memory using the WKdm algorithm, which not only frees up memory but also reduces the amount of swapping going in the background. The company focussed on power use, and implemented several technologies to reduce the power consumption of the operating system: App Nap, Timer Coalescing, and Compressed Memory. Why you wouldn’t just use folders instead is beyond me, but alas, I’ve never been in sync with how Apple disregards the file system.Īt the lower levels, Apple also did some interesting things. Apple also added tagging to the Finder and other parts of the operating system, so you can, say, tag all files related to your thesis with “thesis”, and easily find them from the Finder sidebar. Apple finally got around to implementing tabbed file browsing in the Finder. The Mac’s perpetual black sheep, the Finder, also got some love. Websites can now tap into notifications as well, so that they can send you notifications even when Safari isn’t running. You can reply to messages, delete emails, and so on, and so forth, straight from the notifications themselves.

Mavericks also adopts actionable notifications, like the ones Android introduced.

In fact, this alone is enough reason for me to buy an Apple TV – very handy. If you have an Apple TV, you can use your HDTV as an additional display.

A fullscreen application on one, and the desktop on another is also possible (it’s magic I tell you). Each display can now finally have its own menubar, and the dock can be visible on any screen you desire it bo on. First and foremost, Apple finally addressed the Mac’s rather abysmal support for multiple displays. While there’s not a whole lot of groundbreaking stuff going on in this OS X release, it’s still got some nice features oriented towards more demanding users of Apple’s desktop operating system. Apple announced OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the first OS X release not to carry the name of a big cat. While iOS 7 was clearly the focus of this year’s WWDC, its venerable desktop counterpart certainly wasn’t left behind. The third and final WWDC product I want to talk about is – of course – OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
