Yea, he's totally using Leopard and trying to ******** us.
For the students who are crying...This is just Sad. If you cant afford it..you dont get it..SIMPLE! You dont need to do anything you are currently doing on your mac now. Nobody is forcing you to buy it now, so just wait till you can afford it.
You're completely ignorant. You do realize that for many students this is the LAST version of OS X that their computers might run because of Apple's growing lack of support for the PowerPC processor. I want to purchase it but because I, unlike many Mac users, am spending 30,000 dollars a year on my education. When I spend that much money and essentially am promoting Apple all over my university, I deserve a better cut then 13 dollars.
...
Yeah I expect this OS release of apple to have a true pirating problem. I believe apple is going to have a very noticeable lost to pirating. Heck I would not be surprised to see future releases of OSX to have anti-pirating activation crap in them because of increase in pirated versions of leopard that will be out there.
Umm, so what was the "secret" that Jobs spoke of when making the initial OS 10.5 announcement. All, but dropped?
Dumbest part of their argument is that almost all the college bookstores are still going to sell it for $69. So they are really complaining about nothing. Turns out that the $116 price at the online Apple Ed Store does not translate to the same higher price at the college and university stores - including some of their online stores as well. Still only going to cost $69 in the real brick & mortar academia stores.You gotta love students with a Macbook pro and Photoshop CS3 complaining about $40. And half act like they're so impoverished that they stand in lines waiting for bread or something. If that's the case buying an operating system shouldn't even be a consideration. I think it sounds kind of odd for the typical student to be buying an operation system anyway. Tiger is grrrreat! And will do fine for your needs.

Wow, all of that 30K is going towards promoting Apple? I think you at least deserve a free MBP for your trouble.
Just pre-ordered the Family Pack. Says it will be here by the 26th, which is great! But for those expecting to see the package on your doorstep when you get home, heed the warning:
Delivery Note:
Most shipments require a signature on delivery. However, we offer an easy way to sign for your package even if you can't be present. Click here for details.
Might want to fill out the signature form if you aren't going to be home...... Would hate to see teary-eyed posts from people who didn't know, and missed the delivery.
Apparently Leopard doesn't include spell-check.
In the list of 300 features, under Parental Controls:
"Dynamic Web Filter
Protect your children from websites with unsuitable content. Apple technology automatically trys to detect inappropriate content and prevents those web pages from appearing."
"trys"?!
The big question is, does it protect children from unsuitable spelling?![]()
looks like he used webclip in Leopard although he says he's running tiger![]()
Maybe Apple is beating people to the punch and charging students more for EDU since they think that a good amount of them that buy it, will spread it around the local uni?Just a thought
I used to use a third party app called the LightMe Daemon in Tiger that let you hit a keystroke to put the display to sleep. But it's nice to see this behavior is built right in to Leopard.Just noticed this most of the way down on the 300+ new features page...
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.
Does this mean FINALLY there's a way to put an iMac's display to sleep?!?!
Does this work worldwide or just on the Apple US store? If not, how do you do it on the UK store?
I would like to know how he thinks he's promoting Apple? Just by using their product? In that case we are all promoting all the companies products that we use and should all get discounts on everything!
I actively tell my friends they should get a Mac whenever they're thinking of getting a new computer...having a Mac in class is waaaaay more promotive than that; tons of people who sat next to me at the beginning of last school year (when I first got the Macbook) made comments about how bad Macs are, now they all want or own one...
Dumbest part of their argument is that almost all the college bookstores are still going to sell it for $69. So they are really complaining about nothing.
The feature you quoted is to stop your children for accessing pr0n, not bad spelling. And spell check was included with Tiger so it stands to reason that it will be included with Leopard, it's just not a new feature![]()
I am spending $30,000+ a year on my mortgage and bills and to feed and clothe my family. So becuase I spend so much money just to live my life, does that mean that I deserve a discount too? If I do, then where is my discount and maybe I should start whining about not getting one too!
