Speaker 1: So it's, Apple's newest MacBook and Apple's newest Mac operating system. Now, what are the biggest, most important changes in Ventura? I found about three or four. I thought a really important, really interesting, uh, they're really gonna make your Mac work, uh, differently. Hopefully you think it's better? I think a lot of these are changes for the better, uh, but that's not gonna be universal, but I'll tell you the single most important change in Ventura. The biggest visual difference, I think is something called stage manager. That is a new way of grouping together, windows from different apps that you're using and letting you jump between them easily. Instead of using command tab to go through apps like we used to do, we're using the four fingers, swipe up and swipe down, uh, move. Now we've got a rail on the left side that shows you all the apps you have open, and it has all the windows from that app stacked up. Speaker 1: So if you have multiple Chrome or safari windows open, they're stacked up. Uh, and if I click on any of these, then I go to that app. Or if I go to a different app, it's gonna replace it and I can go through things there.Īnd if I keep clicking on the little stack here, it'll switch between all the pages I have open in that. So every time I click on an app that goes center stage, uh, and then the other apps move back to that right rail. So it's really easy to switch back and forth between them. But at the same time, you have a visual reference here on the left side of what apps you have open, which you could forget about. If you just have a full screen, uh, you know, window going give a ton of things running in the background that you've totally forgotten about. Speaker 1: Is this gonna change the way computers work forever? No, but it's, it's an interesting way to rearrange the information on a MacBook. And I think it's pretty useful for keeping track of what you have and switching between things quickly. Now, there is one thing that kind of bothers me about stage manager and that is, we already have a doc along the bottom of the Mac right here. Well, now we've got kind of a secondary dock along this left side, this left rail dock. Uh, and I think that can kind of get confusing and we should probably figure out a better way to make these two work together. The other really big thing is going to be more about using your Mac with another device you probably have, and that is continuity camera. And that means at long last, you can take your iPhone and use it as a wireless webcam with your Mac. Speaker 1: Now that sounds like it makes a lot of sense. We should have been able to do this the whole time, uh, because frankly we're all on a lot of video meetings these days.
