#Mythoughts for mac 1.5 for mac
I wouldn't depend on it to close that multi-million dollar deal, but it should be up to the task of showing off the kidlets to far-flung relatives once it hits a final version.īoth Skype for Mac 1.5 beta and the video preview are free downloads. While there are clearly still some kinks to work out, Skype didn't fry my system at least.

The app requires Mac OS X 10.7 or higher. iPhoto is integrated into the media browser and lets you drag and drop images from your photos into MyThoughts.
All in all, not too horrible, especially considering that the machines in question were a stone's throw from the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, respectively. It comes with a media browser containing over 3,000 images and icons. Both parties fielded some unusual background noise that was probably the result of being too lazy to hook up proper microphone headsets. As for the video chat, calling between a pair of G5s (the minimum system requires a G4 of at least 800 Mhz) yielded reasonably smooth video (once we'd turned off and on the little video button a couple times), but audio that was downright skippy (for the grammar czars, that's the adjective form of the verb "to skip"). The new interface is definitely an order of magnitude less awkward than the older one. Mistaking foolishness for bravery, your loyal Ars staff did not hesitate to take Skype for Mac with Video for a spin. If it's not enough that they say that Skype for Mac with Video is for the "brave," the download page further warns: "The Video Preview of Skype for Mac is only recommended for experienced users and should not be used on a production system that you depend on." Gulp! Reports already indicate several issues to be worked out with Skype for Mac with Video, including high CPU loads during video calls and weirdness with the video preferences being loaded during a video call. Skype is quick to remind you that Skype for Mac with Video is a preview, which means they have only done limited testing and can't promise the sort of reliability you'd typically expect from a beta. The video preview offers all the new features of the 1.5 beta plus the ability to video chat with any other (Windows or Mac) Skype users. The 1.5 beta features a interface redesigned specifically for the Mac, a new dialer for calling landlines and mobiles, improved search capabilities and Address Book integration, and Skypecasts, which are sort of a cross between a podcast and a giant conference call. Im really hopeful for the progress I can make in 2022.
Its really hard to describe how many areas of my life this disorder has effected. But Skype is set to shake all that up with a release of the Skype for Mac Video Preview which is a sort of subset of the new Skype for Mac 1.5 beta. Im also working at letting my thoughts happen but not get involved in thinking to much about them or giving them too much meaning. If you want to go all Jetsons on your PC-using friends, they'll need to fire up their AOL Instant Messenger account and hope you both have microphones in your cameras if you want to hear anything. There's iChat and… well, pretty much just iChat.
As those of you with iSights are painfully aware, your video chat choices on the Mac have been severely limited.
