Why os x mavericks

If I had to pick a favourite new feature for OS X Mavericks, the improved multi-monitor support would definitely be it. Notifications on the desktop were yet another improvement borrowed from mobile.

In Mavericks, notifications get better thanks to the ability to take action from them directly. You can reply to iMessages, for instance, or emails. And you can get notifications from sources other than just apps — Apple has added notifications from web sites, too. A small improvement that will probably have somewhat limited appeal, but that I noticed and fell in love with right away, is the notification for when you remove a flash drive, USB or SD card without ejecting it first.

Ordinarily, with previous versions, OS X would pop up a persistent notification dialog box in the middle of your screen nagging you about good external drive behaviour. Now, a similar message appears, but it appears where all other notifications do, in the upper right-hand corner of your desktop, and you can more easily ignore it. Maps in OS X means that Apple can now serve up directions and estimated travel time for appointments in Calendar, for example which is handy even if the service is still sometimes less accurate than its more mature counterpart from Google, if at least for getting a general idea of travel time required.

Without it, the computer would be useless. Below are some of the most important changes and features. If you ever need to browse through different folders at the same time, OS X Mavericks allows you to open tabs in a single Finder window instead of opening multiple windows.

Tags make it easy to organize your files and folders into different categories so you can find them quickly. You can even apply multiple tags if desired.

Many users complained that Lion and Mountain Lion did not work well with multiple monitors. Not quite. Mavericks still looks much like OS X Mountain Lion, though certain apps—Calendar, for one—have had their rich Corinthian leather stripped in favor of a more simplified design. A lot! Users in the more-than-one-monitor crowd will appreciate the ability to get the menu bar and Dock on all screens.

You can also put an app into full-screen mode on one display and still use the other monitor; previously, that second display showed wall-to-wall linen. For more information, see our hands-on with multiple displays. You can collect windows into one, maintain different views, easily drag files between tabs, and even, say, leave AirDrop open in one tab for quick file transfers.

It's easy to imagine what went through the mind of the marketing team; the endless summers of the California surf aesthetic, and those timeless, artful shots of breaking waves and barrels.

But the romance stops there. Mavericks is regarded as one of North America's most dangerous surf breaks.
