BTW, you are now a member ,but I'm still a newbie, we register at nearly the same time. How do you get to this?

Sadly, I used to be a member long before June 2007, however lost my password and cannot seem to retrieve any of that information. Used to have more than 3k posts on this forum in the past.

To answer you question, you become a member after a certain amount of post on the forum.

Has anyone read the 300 new features page? Wow, what a load of crap that was. Russian localization: Yay! A new screensaver: Yay! Another new screensaver: Yay!

After you use Leopard for awhile you will wonder how you got along with Tiger.

did not lie about the 300+ features, those are all features according to the dictionary.

If you perceived another definition then that is nobody's error other than yourself.
could have included 10 screen-saver options and those would all be considered a feature. The impression is twisted.

In retrospect one cold conclude the same when switching from Windows OS to Mac OS X or from Classic to X.

Does the media streaming feature in Front Row comply with uPnP?(Universal plug and play)
It's what my ps3 uses to stream media from another pc..

Thats the problem,PC,all the uPnP programs i've tried for mac-to-ps3 are very slow,very buggy,and always never work...

Any form of light shed on this will be very very helpful..

Thanks,
Gav

Whats a real load of crap, is buying Windows Vista; especially when you can get this OS X update for fraction of the cost.

Come now Windows user have been without an updated OS for over 3+ years, selling them anything with that long of an upgrade would be invited at any cost.

When you fear to learn new skills you eventually force yourself to adopt what is forced upon you or vanish into history.

Just had an Mac and AD seminar with Bombich. My uni thinks Leopard is $69, if so I will be buying a couple copies

How Big Is That ADC Leopard Download AmpCoder?

A download of the GM build of Leopard SHOULD be up on or before this Friday (Oct. 19) so if you are a part of the ADC Select, Premier, or Student subscriptions then you will get it a week ahead of everyone else. Also, the DVD will come in November's monthly mailing, approximately the first week of November.

Have any idea how big that is and how long it will take to download on regular braodband connections? Is it like an overnight or all day for multiple hours thing?

 

[skiwhitman]

This is criminal of Apple to do. If their reasoning is that non-students were abusing their policy, they can only blame their policy which required no ID when ordering online...

I'm going to the Apple store on Friday with my student id. If they don't sell me a copy for $69, then I'll just borrow a copy from someone.

Get over yourself, people. Apple can price 10.5 at whatever they want to. It's called supply and demand. To call this "criminal" is just absurd. I will happily pay my $129 for this product because it is worth it. If it isn't cost effective for students, then stick with Tiger. Just be glad they're offering ANY discount; they don't have to.

Stop with the whining. This feed is already 30 pages long and over half of it are people bitching because they don't get "enough of a discount".

 

[crossifixio]

I know this is way off topic but can someone please tell me if it possible to get dead pixels in a two month old mbp because of use or something because now I noticed a few dead pixels that were not there when I got my mbp

That's gonna depend on when they release it.The intertubes can get clogged at certain hours.Even if Akami is serving up a 6.5Gb file.

Takes me about 2-4 hours using a 6Mb Comcast Cable Modem.

Whoa! Easy there, buddy. Before you do that, check with your campus' computer store. The institution price is still $69, and I can tell you from experience that's what on-campus computer stores go by. So find your school's computer store and give them a call.

Dont you just love Students!

they order a top of the line MacBook Pro or Mac Pro for a couple of thousand then complain a that a major OS upgrade costs 40 more than last time. Tell you what... sell your Mac and downgrade to a cheaper version that has leopard preinstalled, then you can go and get your groceries as well.

i know....$40 is like a week's worth of premium gas for my bimmer convertible...i either forego leopard or go without my car for a week....

I am reading the 300 features....

Hot Corner for Sleep Display
Get more use out of those hot corners. In addition to launching Exposé or starting a screen saver, you can now use hot corners to put your display to sleep.


SLEEP DISPLAY! PRAISE THE SWEET BABY JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hm - didn't that already exist in Tiger if not earlier? I remember using it and switching it off again as whenever I accidently got into that corner the Mac fell asleep...

 

[MacLovin611]

Campus Computer Stores are still selling Leopard for $69. I go to Penn and just checked the newly updated site (just got updated around 1pm EST today). It's 69 bucks. The institutional pricing and the educational pricings are DIFFERENT. How that makes sense is beyond me, but buy the OS from your school and not through Apple. Stop freaking out people

You know, there are people out there who need Russian localization. I know at least one such person.

 

[Jackie.Cane]

Disappointed that resolution independence is not listed among the 300 features. Must have been dropped.. I was really looking forward to that.

I am surprised nothing has been said about the iPhone and Leopard

There has been info given: Notes will sync between Mail and the iPhone

Also, in the Gizmodo interview, Apple did not definitively deny that Widgets would come to the iPhone in the near future...
