Apple ignited the personal computer revolution in the 1970s with the Apple II and reinvented the personal computer in the 1980s with the Macintosh. Today, Apple continues to lead the industry in innovation with its award-winning computers, OS X operating system and iLife and professional applications. Apple is also spearheading the digital media revolution with its iPod portable music and video players and iTunes online store, and has entered the mobile phone market with its revolutionary iPhone.
This isn't the first time that I've seen the ability to play back video previews from thumbnails in the finder touted as a new feature in Snow Leopard, but I can do that in Leopard.
Is there some aspect to this that's changed that I'm not getting?

I just checked my finder in Leopard, and I can only play video in the preview window of column view [aka the best view] and in cover flow. In the icon and list view I cannot.
Looks like the new feature then is being able to play videos in icon view, which makes sense seeing as you can now enlarge the icons to 512×512 as opposed to the current 128×128.
LOL. Is that all you got out of the video? It is Quick Time 10 and not Quick Time X, so the X is the Roman Numeral 10. Also Quick Time is TWO separate words and not one as you have it spelled... See what I mean? It's kind of goofy to point out petty details, especially when you're wrong yourself.
I really don't know what Apple is thinking with the tasteless purple smear desktop and that hideously tacky Quicktime X icon....
I think Apple wants to relate the new QuickTime icon to the "core-" features. Core Image, Video, Audio and Animation. They kind of share the same design language.
I've pointed out before that Apple's app icons in the recent years have been too similar. Most of them are pale blue and when using the app switcher it's important that the icons have a clear identity both in color and design in order to know where to go without thinking. So in that aspect I think it's a step forward. But in terms of design... I think it's really tacky.

Well if you are going to be THAT picky about it, QuickTime is one word with the Q and T capitalized... \

Apple is going back to the original plan of using "QuickTime" as the core technology it truly is.. (it's not just a video player)
Also, if you've noticed.. the new "marble" look that Apple is progressing towards is simply the NeXTStep UI modernized.
i can't believe it, this is soooo boring to see! a boring slider to change the size of the icons! i remember that once there even was a slider in the options to change the size, but well, it was removed and set to two different sizes, simply because apple wanted to do this.
i fall asleep when i see these videos. it's the same boring interface, the same color, the same everything. why should one even install it? well, at least it's a new quicktime icon, which unfortunately now looks like a star trek "space cadettes" jewlery. and I also think that i have seen this desktopbackground somewhere...

Funny, because Apple spells QuickTime as one word, with a capital "Q" and a capital "T".

Yeah, it's kinda schmuckish to rail on any old Joe Blow because they didn't know whether to call it Oh Ess Ten (vs. Oh Ess Ex). But its another thing to hold yourself out as some kind of Mac authority like this guy did, and then get something so fundamentally wrong. Makes it hard to take the guy seriously.
Most of those are true, but language doesn?t have to be linear in usage. I can?t imaging people saying Mac OS XI (Ex,Eye). I can?t even imagine Apple spelling it that way. Mac OS 11 seems more reasonable. Same goes for the next version of QuickTime, though I?d guess that it won?t come until Mac OS X gets the numerical bump.
Well, whenever I hear "artists" moaning about what other people should think is or isn't "attractive".... I ignore them and their egos.
I consider myself an artist, but you won't hear me inflating my ego by saying something so pretentious and annoying. Just change the background and be done with it. It is that hard to do?

I'm guessing he's Indian-Canadian.
Naw, he sounds more Jamaican-Canadian.
In the OS, you are correct - amazing. Doing a search of Apple.com for Macintosh is even more interesting
All you gotta do is go to http://www.apple.com/pr/ and look at every press release

He keeps calling it Quicktime "X" in his videos.
Isn't it Quicktime "10"? ... or what?
LOL. Is that all you got out of the video?

Well put, as always.

what are you talking about?? i see nothing remotely similar in those two pics

Technically, yes, but X is the Roman numeral for ten so it?s only incorrect to those pedant about the vocalization.
Come on, no one says
Rocky i i (eye eye)
Rocky i i i (eye eye eye)
Rocky iv (eye vee)
Rocky v (vee)
lol

How do you think the UI should be updated?
Come on, no one says
Rocky i i (eye eye)

lol
Good point.
How do you think the UI should be updated?
Just copy Windows 7 and Apple will take over the world.
and I can only play video in the preview window of column view [aka the best view]
Quoted for truth
Come on, no one says
Rocky i i (eye eye)
Rocky i i i (eye eye eye)
Rocky iv (eye vee)
Rocky v (vee)
lol
While the first 3 are correct, unfortunately I have heard people say Rock Vee. I think it just happens with 5 and 10?
LOL. Is that all you got out of the video?
