There's a hidden Mac OS X feature to have an eject menu bar item....I believe I added it once using TinkerTool.

It could come in handy....I use a wireless keyboard/mouse without an eject key, so if I want to open the drive when nothing is in it, I have been in the habit of opening iTunes to get access to that eject button on the lower right hand corner.

Same - less ram (1gb) + faster processor (2.16ghz) than video = instant finder window.

I have a 1.5ghz Powerbook with 1gb of RAM, and it is instant on mine!
Looks interesting, fairly convincing as well - just wish the real thing will hurry up, and make a better impression than Tiger!
 
With regards to the "About this Mac" shot. What I'd like to see is video of the person clicking on the "10.5 Pre-Release" text so we can see "build number".

If I still had the 10.4.7 seed, or even the 10.4.0 GM seed, installed, I'd check and see what the default text stated. I'm fairly sure the builds would have the build number clearly visible, but if not, all you have to do in any 10.4.x release is click on the version text and it'll cycle between; Version number, build number, machine serial number (if it has one).

Of course, seeing the build number doesn't tell us much, as if it's a fake they could have hacked the finder to put in whatever they liked.
 
This is real.

I participated in a pre-release test for Universal Access. Apple does a number of pre-release tests of its software to people that they feel could help them refine the product before it goes master. What I partisapated in was a partial Panther pre-relase for the UA.

It's kind of a craps shoot. If there are problems, you’re screwed. It is impossible to undo a pre-release install with reinstalling. Apple also invited me to give them the names of anybody that I thought would be interested. The builds come from via a download, and include a feed back application.

If I remember correctly the About This Mac, screen had the words pre-release, but also build number. Go figure. If this is the last UI test, then perhaps it wouldn’t have a build number. Seems real to me.

I don’t think Apple is too worried about leaks concerning Lepord.

Tabbed O.S. browsing,-that goes back to Windows 3.1 and a product called TabWorks, I think. I had it on an old Compaq.
 
Silly people, tabbed browsing is way too advanced for Leopard, they are going to put it into Cougar (10.6 for all those that don't work at Apple, geez get on the info bus)

Thats why the video is so crappy, because it the dungeons of Infinite Loop where they keep all future releases of Mac OS X in their incubators (do you actually think they haven't made all the releases yet, they just stagger adding features that we want to make more profit). But to protect the releases the cast a magnetic field around them so all videos come out grainy, slightly distorted, and with vanishing mouse clicks. And the whole reason the mouse is so nice is because its shock :eek: the fabled bluetooth Super Mouse ( I ... mean.... Mighty Mouse... yeah there will be no name change....)

So... I hoped I enlightened all you non-Apple engineers or those Apple engineers who actualy signed that stupid confidential contract... hah what a joke!!

At least I know I delighted myself for the morning. :D

A lot of trouble? Someone with even moderate xCode skills could knock up something like this in less than an hour. This is barely any harder than a photoshop, and to a programmer type much, much easier..

ok well please someone recreate this video in an hour

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!

I think it's fake, but it's not way too responsive. My 1GHz PowerBook G4 can switch file lists immediately - just as fast or faster than the video showed.

Maybe you need more RAM.
 
I'm pretty sure Apple will continue to use the iSync icon as a start button to sync the devices not to mention the fact that that iSync logo is large, and disportionate. Also, where's the option so sync ALL the devices at once? Hmm?

Did anyone notice that according to the system specs, that is a tablet Leopard is running on?
 
Ideas to Apple

I have to agree that these are fake, but they do have a point.

The engineers at Apple are creative people when it comes to adding features to an operating system, but they could always use help.

I like people putting up the "pretend Leopard" screenshots 2 months before the WWDC.

Maybe these pretend ideas will help the holier than thou Apple software engineers come up with some stuff they never thought about for future releases.

By the way, Apple legal would be banging down the doors of every person posting "real" screenshots of Leopard. Can someone say NDA? I'm sure everything is ok when the most highly anticipated Apple release of the past two years somehow gets leaked ahead of time.

Give me a break
 
oh boy,

it's easy to feel it's a fake. just take screenshots from safari and finder
combine it in adobe flash and record the whole with a cam.... :rolleyes:

What makes you think Apple's software engineers are "holier than thou"? :confused:

Well you have the entire nerd community praising you for coming up with the next big software feature that has changed our lives, I would just imagine you feel pretty important.

Maybe not God, but perhaps Demi-God

I have nothing against them, don't get me wrong.

As the videos haven't been taken down due to pressure from Apple's legal department we can safely assume that they are fakes, just the screenshots from last week.

I can't imagine that tabbed browsing in the finder is going to be one of Leopard's headline features anyway, let alone a feature at all. The video only features it because it has generally been assumed to be a feature of Leopard and is relatively easy to fake taking elements from iTunes, Safari and the Finder itself. I think we can rest assured that Apple has some really exciting features up its sleeve, plus we only had Tiger leaks a matter of a few days before features such as Dashboard being demonstrated.

Sorry missing what you are laughing about... care to explain?

Just maybe the year is 1904? (but in playing video is sure looks like 1983-2006)

Don't forget the memory. With 1,25 GB of RAM an iMac G5 can be VERY responsive. On my rev. A iMac, with the same amount of memory, the Finder is very snappy (to the point that that Mac HD link you mention opens instantaneously), and this is while folding and having a lot of apps open (Mail, Safari, Mercury, iChat and iTunes). :rolleyes:

Whoa! I also have a rev. A iMac, just like you, but where do I put that whopping 1.25GB of RAM in it? Also, mine isn't quite as responsive as what you say yours is, or as the one in the video. Will a G3 233MHz even be able to run Leopard?!...

;) :p :D
