Beta means beta, don't install it on your work machine for at least a few days when issues will become apparent.

So should I upgrade to Mavericks now?
- unless you have lightroom and don't want to upgrade to 5, then maybe not.jaylarson
- thanks Jay. I do use Lightroom 4. So maybe i need to get 5 first.randommail

this might be the OS version that finally puts the last nail in my old Mac pro's coffin. barely running Mavericks as it is. ;(
- Mine runs fine, early 2008. RAM that bitch up and put a SSD.ArmandoEstrada
- no it's the actual model generation. mine was earliest one allowed by mavericks. so any more bumps and it's toast.prophetone

The new dock feels pretty clunky the way it completely obscures what's below it.
Think the blurred background effect could be toned down massively in places. Like how the iOS volume indicator blocks so much it may as well just be a white box, because either way it blocks most of the video below it.
- I set it as auto hide, don't like seeing the thing always thereernexbcn
- If you put it to the left hand side it's a lot nicer toomonospaced

- yeah, what fucking part of OSX is this? oh... wait, it's notmonospaced
- Huh mono? It's Safari.iCanHazQBN
- and Safari on a Mac, not PC.iCanHazQBN
- That looks nothing like the Safari browser, and you know it.monospaced
- Sorry you have so many weird glitches. Safari has a really amazing type renderer actually.monospaced
- System Prefs > General > Use dark menu bar and dockiCanHazQBN
- Sure, but that doesn't affect the Safari window. That screenshot isn't Safari, it's a website right?monospaced
- That is the Help menu at the very top menu bar while in Safari. Click and you'll see the same menu.iCanHazQBN
- I see... never clicked that before in my life.monospaced

Yosemite is pants at running a second screen that has different resolution to an iMac. In CC, menus on the second screen are unusable unless the displays are aligned to the bottom in System/Displays/Arrangement. There's a lot of forum grumpiness on this too.
- Weird no issues with two side aligned displays here.monospaced

My MBP feels a slight bit slower than with Mavericks. There's this brief lag when opening stuff in Finder.
I also think that blue folder color isn't so great. I'll get used to it just like everything else, but there's something about it, and Helvetica that just don't seem to fit.
- I like the blue folder, though I also liked all the iOS 7 colours hainteliboy

Apparently Safari and Spotlight send Apple all sorts of data about you:

I feel like Apple got shit so right with Yosemite, it's now time for them to go through a multi year cycle of fucking things up again. Just like they did after snow leopard.

Is it safe to update now? Problems with Adobe CS5/CS6/CC or else?

"This is inaccurate alarmism. It shouldn't be surprising that the search bar makes autocomplete requests to Apple as you type. The address, phone number, and map link that popped up when you typed in the name of a local business, for example, didn't just appear out of thin air.
However, it seemed suspicious to me that Apple would make it impossible, as the author claims, to type in the Safari address bar without sending queries to Apple. So, I fired up Charles proxy to confirm my suspicions.When using Safari default settings, typing in the address bar resulted in a few requests to Apple and Google autocomplete APIs. Then, I turned off "Include search engine suggestions" and "Include Spotlight Suggestions" in Safari search preferences. (Safari -> Preferences -> Search)
As I initially believed, no requests were sent whatsoever when typing in the address bar after those settings were disabled. Can we put out our pitchforks yet, or am I missing something?"
