My Notification Centre is showing an all day event! Wow! When did that start happening?

it still doesn't do it for the stock calendar app on the iPhone with the latest iOS9 public beta.

Anyone else noticed the new 'General' preference pane icon?

The option to disable Command+1-9 is back in safari! I am so happy because I got into a habit of using that command to quickly access my bookmarks before they took away the option :D

I still can't post pictures on this forum because clicking "Upload a File" causes "Plugin Failure."

Click on your name in the top-right corner and choose preferences, then uncheck “Use the Flash-based uploader to upload attachments”. Alternatively, checker whether Flash player is working and not disabled for this website.

and you can navigate the user interface (just read the name of the button, for example while reading MacRumours you could say "Click Buyer's Guide" to click on the button named Buyer's Guide;

This is the part that fascinates me. It looks like there including the ability to manipulate web links within the browser like "Dragon Dictate" does with the Dragon Dictate extension installed. I've been using Dragon Dictate for some time now because of its ability to manipulate web links. If only "Apple Dictation" would allow me to control my mouse pointer like "Dragon Dictate" allows me to, I could scrap Dragon Dictate altogether. I'm aware that the Mac OS includes an accessibility feature called "Switch Control" allowing you a form of mouse control but it is kind of clunky and slow and when it is enabled it disables the "Sticky keys" feature. I'm paralyzed from the neck down and do a lot with Dragon Dictate, especially clicking links and controlling the pointer but sometimes I find it quicker and easier typing and control of my pointer with a trackball using my mouth stick and when I do I need to use "sticky keys". Thank you for that information though. That is an eye-opener for sure. :)

Guys I like to use cover flow with finder, especially for folders with pics and documents and I tend to minimize the cover flow portion of the window (showing the preview of the items) so as the icons appear as small as it allows. Yet with El Capitan everytime i close the finder window, when i reopen it, the cover flow is brought back to its default state with huge icons... it seems that any resizing changes are not being saved so overtime i have to open finder i have to resize cover flow icons. Anyone knows any solution to this?

Seems in line with how Windows does it. You can use it to fullscreen the app or move it to a different desktop.

The other day I pressed some keyboard shortcut or maybe did something in combination with the cursor/a gesture that automatically made a Safari window snap to the left half of the screen (full-screen) and leaving the other half waiting to add a second app. I absolutely have no idea what I did exactly. It was really handy though and it's driving me nuts I'm unable to reproduce it. :oops:

Does anyone here have an idea what I did to trigger said behavior? :D

That's the Split View feature. It is activated by dragging a window from the green (maximise) button.

Dragging a window around the desktop works as normal until you try to 'push' it through the top of the menu — this activates Mission Control to place it onto a different desktop.

It's a shame that this kind of 'push' to the left/right of the screen doesn't activate split screen view as well. Nice find though!

for my late 2011 MBP, PB5 is a lot more laggy and buggy than PB4......o_O

PB4 did give me a huge surprise! smoother and quite faster than yosemite!

You can no longer use calculator app in split screen.

Shame as it would have been quite useful. I guess they want you to use the notification centre.
I wish all apps worked in split screen regardless of whether they can go fullscreen.
