LilBambi 3,283 Posted June 22, 2014 Apple's "Handoff" -- one of the key new features of iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite -- will work only on newer Macs that support Bluetooth 4.0 and the Bluetooth LE (low energy) technology, according to an Apple engineering manager. While Apple didn't mention Handoff requirements when it unveiled the feature at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) earlier this month, a developer-only session there made it clear that Bluetooth LE is necessary.

Robert 235 Posted June 24, 2014 Ugly. They have redesigned the dock, replacing the stunning icons with what looks like Windows Metro Icons. Unbelievable. The basic 1995 look is coming back to Apple too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilBambi 3,283 Posted June 24, 2014 Yeah. Sad. I'll get used to it, but like the ones on Microsoft's OSes, I won't like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The basic 1995 look is coming back to Apple too. The change from the icons in Mavericks are minimal. Granted, the icons are always tweaked a bit with each release. If you compare Snow Leopard to Mavericks, they are pretty different. Adam 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
