Quote: Beyond that what is seen is a whole lot of UI ideas implemented with these basic gestures. What are people asking for in Leopard, these gestures or a whole new UI based on them? The later is much much tougher to make something good. Agree…

By the way, Mac_next, if you're interested in tinting OS X to the color of your choice (or changing it completely), I recommend Jason Harris's $20 labor of love ShapeShifter. (Though god knows what he'll have to do to update the thing to work with …

No idea, but my guess (respectively) is in the next 3-6 weeks, and June.

Not to mention that CoreData applications will work on 10.4+ only. So it takes time for these features to really get used. I'm not sure if anyone was very excited about CoreData as anything but a great internal tool for developers, though. Core…

It's a long, long story. but basically Microsoft played its cards right (and very aggressively) in the '80s and '90s, and came out with Windows '95, with the brilliantly effective WinTel alliance, just as Apple was beginning to lose direction and fa…

Merom's successor, Santa Rosa, is supposedly due in May. You can expect new MBPs come May or June. No one knows anything concrete about Leopard. Could be early as March, but will probably be late spring, or even early summer (June).

Would something like this suit your purposes?

Special event with iLife /iWork '07 announcement, brief demo, and release (with iWork bundled with new Macs, one can only hope) + jaw-dropping "Top Secret" Leopard demo preview with late spring release date... just previous to, on, or immediately f…

There's a hell of lot of interesting clues in the iPhone UI, and a bunch of things that lend credence to the "Illumnious" UI rumor (i.e., a Mac OS X UI refresh that uses light and shadow as its thematic elements) - The "slide to unlock" button th…

The amazing thing is eventually -- eventually -- all iPods with screens will be running OS X. A somewhat tweaked, slimmed version of OS X, sure, but OS X. It does inevitable that 6G iPod will be a widescreen model running OS X (just like the iPh…

What *is* that "Top Secret" stuff? Here's my guesses. Very, very likely: - A refreshed UI (Illuminous?). (I've a sneaking suspicion the current teaser on Apple.com's home page is in fact, rather mischievously, a extreme close-up of the new U…

Resolution independence *is* there in Leopard builds, but it still has some glitches. See here. Note that report was several months ago -- from August. The one thing that easiest to add or remove from a build is interface. Apple can easily h…
