Mavericks will also update your apps automatically and let you know via notifications when the process is complete. This means it will combine messages to show you had six new messages, for example, and it will tell you the number of e-mails you missed while away.

When you return to your Mac when it's in a sleeping state, you'll be able to get all the notifications you received while you were gone in a brief summary before unlocking your screen. You also can allow Web sites to send you updates like the latest scores from ESPN, breaking news stories from, and more via Notifications, even when Safari is closed. When you get an address in the Mail app, your Mac will recognize it and give you the option to see it on a mini map. Notifications are more interactive in Mavericks, so if you receive a message, an e-mail, or a FaceTime video call, you can react within the notification window with a reply or launch FaceTime straight away. The Notifications system got some tweaks as well.

The interface has also been tweaked to include smooth, continuous scrolling between days, weeks, and months, and it worked very well using the MacBook trackpad.

Clicking on the map portion of the window launches Apple Maps, where you can take advantage of the 3D views, switch map overlays, get directions, and do other useful things. Now you can mouse over an event to bring up the Inspector, where you'll find handy information like driving time to the event with traffic information supplied by Maps and current weather at the event location. The Calendar app got a fresh look in Mavericks, adding Facebook integration to show Facebook events along with an Event Inspector that lets you get more information about a party, meeting, or location. The Calendar app has a clean new look, with design elements that help you focus on the week at hand. With Mavericks, you can change your Top Sites by dragging to rearrange them, and you can drag a bookmark from your side column into Top Sites if you want to keep it handy. One of the more interesting new interface tweaks is the Top Sites screen, with its new, flatter look. Shared Links are recent links from people you follow on both Twitter and LinkedIn, giving you another option for discovering new Web sites and other interesting content from people who use those social networks. One big improvement is the new sidebar that keeps your bookmarks close at hand, and you can use tabs at the top of the sidebar to get to your Reading List and another new feature called Shared Links. Perhaps the performance increases are something that would be more obvious on a slower connection, but we'll have to wait and see if it really makes a difference when we review the OS. That all sounds great, but I tested the latest Safari with the older version side by side on two laptops, and didn't notice a huge difference in performance. Apple says new Nitro Tiered JIT and Fast Start technologies in Safari mean Web pages feel snappier and the app doesn't waste power on Web pages and plug-ins that might churn continuously in the background. Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNETĪccording to Apple, Safari now demands less from the GPU, uses less energy, and is faster than ever before. The new sidebar is incredibly convenient for running through your bookmarks on the left and looking at Web sites on the right. Still, it makes searching for obscure documents on your hard drive much easier.

I think this is a welcome addition to the Finder and a great way to narrow your searches, but it will obviously only be useful if you are dedicated to adding a tag to all your documents. But by searching on both pictures and work, you'll only get the pictures that are related to work. To give you an idea how it works, you could, for example, have a tag for "work" documents and then another for "pictures." If you searched for work, you would get all the items with that tag, and if you searched for pictures, you would get all the images in your library.

Now you'll be able to search on one or more tags to get just the documents you want in front of you. With Mavericks, Apple has chosen to go with a more flexible system for organizing your documents, letting you add tags. Having multiple tabs in the Finder also means you could open one tab for Documents and another for AirDrop, letting you share files with a nearby Mac user in a snap.
