Again...how could you fake that? I am still waiting for the answer...

Xcode and how 'bout this:

It's not real.

1. The Finder window is simply a hacked Path Finder. All you have to do is get rid of the Finder icon from the Dock's plist and change Path Finder's icon to the Finder's. It's in System/Library/CoreServices/Finder/Finder.icns.

2. The "About this Mac" box's system version can be hacked too. Go to System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist and you can change it to say "Version 10.5 Pre-Release".

3. If he's testing Leopard, doesn't it seem kinda strange that he only provides one video and no kind of demonstration of the features besides the Finder? And why is the video so short? It's only out of unwillingness to make more videos.

4. Anybody who's testing Leopard would be rich enough to get himself some good Mac screen recorder software.

5. I'm confused why anybody would believe this is real after all of the fake screenshots posted in the last couple of weeks (including my own</a>).

Another photo I have found on Flickr...

Here is the translation of the description:

I discovered a nice (however unspectacular feature) in the new
leopard. The Apple thinks of us. There is now a KW specification in
iCal. Nicely, but the hammer in iCal betrayal I still not, perhaps
next week.

and this:

you cant add tabs to the finder window in Xcode, the main finder window is not a .nib therefore not editable with interface builder.

Im pretty confident it says 1983-2006 there.

But I think its fake.

Looks fake. Way too responsive for an imac G5 1.6. Even my powermac G5 doesnt explore new windows that quickly. Notice as soon as she/he clicked on the mac HD link, it appeared immediately!

It's called a feature: in this case speed. Finder acceleration is one rumored thing to be in 10.5. Currently browsing sucks.

It could also be attributed to simply format-installing the OS for the first time. It's quite amazing just how 'ZIPPY' everything is right after you do that (no matter what OS you're running). :D

maybe im an imbesile (that is highly possible!) but even through my limited mac experience ive noticed that the apple icon in the top left of the screen changes its looks with everynew OS that is released. and the one that is on the video is exactly the same as Tiger's maybe thats nothing but it could be more evidence for it being fake? correct me if im wrong please
 
Guys. If this hasn't been said before (too lazy to look through all the posts) Thats an iMac, and it says G5 1.6GHz. Whats going on there??

Fake.

Fake.

nonsense

81% of statistics are made up on the spot
 
i like the tabs. i think that the "solid Metal" looks more like the flat almost graident grey "metal" of the current itunes. would be cool to see "chunkier" metal in 10.5

Also, if it was real...wouldnt she show us more of the OS such as...well...idk...other stuff?
Really? My 1.6GHz PB G4 does, even when running in Reduced CPU mode.

Click - bam! Click - bam!

Seriously, maybe you should check for HD fragmentation or something else taking up CPU cycles.
