G'night guys! I shall dream lucidly about experiencing Leopard, hands-on.

LOLZ.
 
OK - Waited long enough

When can I get Leopard? Been tooooooooo long with PC need to get back to earth. Who has the latest on launch time.
 
all you people dreaming of downloadable leopard: imagine 100 000 people clicking "download now" button in online apple store at the same moment Leopard is released. Each of them downloadin gigabytes worth of OS X, that's a lot of bandwidth and it ain't free.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

it's pretty much impossible. all we can do is hope Leopard is in stores by Halloween. otherwise... public uproar. riots. disorder... chaos! :eek:
 
Yup. There are 4 pages of iChat video effects, with the last page being custom backgrounds that are user defined. In the previous build, 9A527, the video effects needed the user to step out of the camera range so iSight could register the background. Then the user steps into the frame with the superimposed effect. However, it was spotty as the busier the background of the room the less likely the effect to work. Seems the corrected some of this with iChat 4.0 in this build.

If only someone would invent a means of distributing the load of downloading Leopard across the 100,000 clients instead of everyone downloading directly from Apple... OH WAIT! There's that BitTorrent thing... :p

Except that's illegal... :rolleyes: lol. Still, if Apple found a legal way to do that after people payed for it... Like a certain key or something specifically generated for every purchaser, that might work.
 
What's weird is an Apple friend of mine said that they are in 55x builds internally. They were at 53x the day after 527 became public.

...Which could mean that Leopard is closer than we think. Or you're just screwing with our heads. :p

BitTorrent is perfectly legal, and is used for many legal distributions included many of Blizzard's downloads. Granted, there is a large subset of users that trade copyrighted material over BitTorrent protocols, and I don't know if there is a way to require a person to have paid for the .torrent file before they download the content. But provided Apple could get their end figured out BitTorrent would be a perfectly acceptable way to distribute Leopard.
 
I have the green light from work to purchase a new MBP.
The problem is that I need to buy it this weekend.

Any thoughts out there on the space requirements Leopard will need?
I will have to buy this later and install it.
