I was under the impression that post-Beta 2 builds have been considerably better. Still, I'm doubtful about a January consumer release. I think it will be spring... especially with Apple giving themselves more time with Leopard.

Very neat stuff. This might help solve the biggest problem in making a "full-screen", "real" video iPod -- how to compensate for lack of tactile feedback that the physical click-wheel offers, and offers so well. With the above tech, however, you…

October? Says who? MS will be hard-pressed to get the consumer release finished and in stores by January.

^^^ Actually, the above posted on O'Grady is very likely fake. The MacFixit, Techpedia, and AeroXP stuff is definitely real.

Oh, nice catch there with the detached widget for Leopard Server btw. Although you can currently detach widgets in Tiger, so it's not a sure thing... but it does makes sense that they'll introduce a better and easier way to do so.

Oh, there's a whole slew of little features, even with all of the juicy and exciting yet-to-be-revealed Leopard UI stuff absent. From MacFixit: - Safari 3.0 Type-as-You-Find internal search bar (and highlighting effect), batch bookmark adds, m…

Great catch. Very cool inside reference there.

Honestly, if Jobs didn't send the clear message that he wasn't showing everything (which was also transparently clear by their minimal, piecemeal, omission-filled "preview", even without that disclaimer), I would be seriously underwhelmed. And if…

Wow, this is horrible news. If true, I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this sounds like the beginning of the end of Office for the Mac (as a true cross-platform entity).

Possibly. Though Vista kinda got there first (at least Taskbar-wise).

Listen to webmail, folks. It only takes a little close attention to notice the many, many gaps and omissions in that extremely minimal "preview".

There was a *ton* not touched upon in that curiously minimal and piecemeal Leopard "preview". I mean, Time Machine and the iChat sharing features were pretty cool, but c'mon. Anything that touched resolution independence wasn't discussed. No …
