On iOS a "rootless" feature makes sense for Apple. The only people who need root are jailbreakers which Apple is trying to prevent (I am a jailbreaker and this saddens me). On OS X for the average user this feature could add security I suppose. If you are a power user however this kinda just rains on your parade. OS X is a Unix based OS. The very nature of Unix is having a root user. I hope before the release in the fall they add a way to turn this off in the security settings.

You know you can turn off Rootless, right?
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"

That's going to be removed from El Cap in the near future. The proper step to disable System Integrity Protection will be to reboot into recovery OS and use the security utility to disable SIP. This will then push the change into the nvram and will be persistent across OS installs.

Confirmed by Apple in their Security session at WWDC.

Can you point to any actual reference for this?

Can you still customise the toolbar? How does the separate window for viewing emails look?

I'm interested to know the above as well. Also what does the email tabs look like and can you chose to open emails either in new window or tabs?

Is it possible to do a recording?

I can only say it makes the very crisp clicking sound into something that is a lot more toned down. It still makes a noise but it sounds I would say "higher quality" without feeling any different.

Looked thru the thread, didn't see it- Display Calibration has been dumbed down. I've been looking thru the OS and googling and I don't see an option to bring back the expert adjustments. I would think this is a problem for a large portion of the designers.
I don't like the dumbed down disk utility either. Looks like Cupertino is making a more consumer friendly OS

Why do you think Disk Utility was dumbed down? All the same features (except for "Repair Disk Permissions", which is now done by the OS) seem to be there, right? I don't have El Capitan, but from what I've seen, it only got a UI redesign (which it needed, frankly).

Small question: now that the system font is SF, is it supplied as a typeface in font book and available for use in documents?
Click to expand...

It's available for download in the Developer Centre (without an account) though is only intended for use with iOS, Mac and Apple Watch applications. Though... I'm guessing they'd allow it to be used in materials promoting said apps too.

Annual request:
Are the new Siri voices available for text-to-speech/narration yet as on iOS?
Specifically UK...

Just a really awesome screenshot.

Whether it is right or wrong, if all MacBooks can reach such battery life expectation under El capitan, would it be a really amazing thing?
