Fake!

There have been a number of Leopard mock-up pics floating around the web. They all just crave attention! I can't believe some of you guys have bought this one! Do your homework and SEARCH for 'em. Most of them even look the same! (But in this case, some are uglier than others.) First of all, you can easily remove the brushed-metal GUI from the Finder with a simple application called UNO. Check it out:

Also, here's a well-made one that caught my eye: (Also confirmed as FAKE.)

Obviously someone is very skilled in photoshop. :D :D ;)

I don't think so, because (assuming they're not fake) if they do it now it will be confirming them as real, but limiting the number of people who see it (anyone who re-posts them after being taken down could face legal action). If they, don't practically the entire mac community and some others will see it and when Leopard finally comes out it will be a big disapointment because we would already know what features it had.

It doesn't matter if Apple Legal admit to the pictures being real, because when Leopard comes out it will all become clear anyway.

Well, I placed a vote for "real" just because I was excited to see anything related to Leopard. But based on others comments & observations, it seems clear that they are fake...



Would any Linux users mind explaining the benefit of multiple desktops? While it sounds interesting, I don't see what value it adds.
The main benefit, especially with SmackBook installed, is that you can go on the net and **** around in class and just tap your computer n the side to go to your 'school' desktop :)

So anyone want to tell me what that diamond thing in the next to the battery meter in the tool bar?
It's supposed to have something to do with the windows virtualization, like the classic icon that used to be in the toolbar.

The logo looks like that because it's similar to the boot-camp design.

As an employee of Apple

All I will say is (and all of you people who are also under NDA you can eat me because this isn't illegal to say) It doesn't simply say "10.5" under About This Mac before the product is in final testing. Nobody here is that dumb.

Secondly, he admits they are fake so why is there still an ingenious poll here?

Sorry, this sort of stuff annoys me. For the record, it's not the users here that admittedly don't know but it's the people who blindly accept this stuff or even corroborate the fake stuff.
