so I updated to Maverick.
Downloaded new XCode
The icon on the Launchpad has nice animated sparkles (presumably to show it's newly updated).
I went back in to take a screenshot but it's back to normal now

...and? Impressions?
I played around with the tabs in Finder and am underwhelmed to say the least. The very first thing I tried to do was coalesce 2 finder windows into 1 window with tabs. like you do with Browsers. No dice.
...and then of course I realised that Safari itself can't do this. 
However, given that I'm not blown away, the one thing I really, really like about Mavericks is that it is, in fact, so very familiar. They didn't follow the iOS7 design and make everything spidery and glarey, and they didn't do a Windows 8 and, well, do a Windows 8. That makes me so sad that at this point in the IT cycle the thing that impresses me is when a company doesn't go nutso trying to be different for the sake of being different. Which, in this case is nicely ironic given Apple's tagline.

I have to agree- basically I haven't noticed much different which is kind of nice - I understand there's some stuff going on behind the scenes that make things faster and more efficient - but I'm happy to just be able to get on and do stuff without learning a new way!
If I understand what you are talking about with the tabs - you can do it;
Take two Finder windows - one with at least two tabs, and drag the tab to another finder window; The drag takes the form of a miniture window - drop that on the other finder window and it will be added as a new tab.
Same in Safari - only you have to wait until it turns in to a horixontal bar before dropping it in the new window for it to be added as a tab rather than as a new window.
The only problem is that when they number from zero not one - so when there are zero tabs there's nothing to drag.

Ah - I see. I was actually expecting the beahaviour to be that if you dragged one window on to another you'd get tabs. It's not intuitive (to me) that you have to have the windows in "tab mode" for it to start working. (ie you "start from zero" comment).
So close to being a great feature...

How come one of those 8.9" Kindle[^] has a 2500x1600 resolution!
Whereas it's impossible to buy a laptop with 1920x1200 resolution now!

Yeah, that annoys me to no end. Everything is now sized for video aspect ratio. Sucks for people where height is important.

How about the Dell XPS 15[^] that sports a 3200 x 1800 display?

Sorry, was so cool that I just dropped the link without looking for possible repost.
I won't post again, I think.

El Reg reports here[^] that CERN allowed Google's Street View in to show the under belly of CERN as we'd never get to see it. At the bottom of the page is a link to it. Quite impressive.

I have used iPhone, iPad and Macbook Air since last 4 years. And I failed to see how Apple products are turning people into fan-boy.
The 200+ features page on Apple.com didn't convince me, so I tried to search for Reviews on what's actually new?
And I found this article (on The Verge Homepage)[^].
Let me list out the title phrases from that article.
- Even this early, Mavericks is fast and stable. (What do you mean by early? They released it. Oh wait the review is from June, on today's front page)
- Mavericks is worth the upgrade for in-notification replies alone (Sure who can live without in-notification replies)
- Using multiple displays works like it always should have (This is OS 'X' means 10th major version, it should)
- Nearly everything that needed fixing has been tended to (This is just scary statement)
So what I learned after reading this is, Apple lied about 200+ features. I am back to where I was.
