Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) Screenshots... Real?

I have to be skeptical on these as well, for a number of reasons.

1. If they are real, why wouldn't Apple have forced them to be taken down? Remember last year's Panther screenshot leaks, or even just the stupid display DIAGRAMS that AppleInsider had - all forced down. Not these.
2. Where is the screenshot of the new Finder? There can't be a major OS update without SOME change to the Finder, and no, an "about box" isn't going to prove anything.
3. The "lighting" affect that highlights which areas of the control panel that you can find whatever you're typing in the search box is very inconsistent - the light is a circle on some, and very ovalish on others.
4. Would you not think there'd be a control panel area for the "Dashboard" thing? Not to mention that the Dashboard looks like crap in these screenshots.

Because, and I say this with a heavy heart, Longhorn has a vector based GUI creation system. Fully scaleable, fully changeable, with BUILT IN customization. It is a shame that jobster doesnt realise people like to customise that much.
 
About the keynote stream..

Earlier today I went to:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc04/
to see if anything was there. There isn't, but I did make an observation..

In normal Apache server operation, if the request is a directory that exists, but doesn't have a trailing /, it automatically adds it. Now, with that in mind, go to:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/qtv/wwdc04
and the / automatically is added.

Now, this doesn't mean that Apple will be doing a "live" broadcast, but it does prove, well.. nothing really, just that they've created a directory! :)

Just thought I would throw that in.

It would be in Apple's best interest to show off Tiger to the general public as well, not just developers. They better broadcast.

Why does it matter when it isn't going to be released for months? Unless you are a developer surely it doesnt matter? ;)

Look at this screenshot..

https://www.macrumors.com/downloads/tiger/systempreferences_search.gif

There is a spelling mistake in search drop-down results, says "Rebuild classic DEKSTOP" :eek: . I've never seen any typos in the menu of any english apps let alone the system software. Now don't tell me "because its an early build, there are typing mistakes". :D

Sorry dude, but there were a BAG full of typos in last years WWDC preview disk.

Well yes, of course the keynote willl be available for viewing after it has aired - what people are inquiring about though is whether it will be aired live or not, which is what I'm curious to find out as well. We all know it will be avilable afterwards.... :rolleyes: ;)

Then I'll clarify further, it won't be aired live. :rolleyes:

Edit- unless Steve changes his mind... :D

Sweet...the minority might win! Err, I mean, I voted for "Real."

A few months ago, I invisioned that System Preferences would have a Search tool, but the intent I wanted was to be able to locate a preference pane and, with a control-click, be able to remove that pane instead of having to go into ~/Library/System Preferences/ and manually delete it, or to use the Search toolbar to disable/active/install a preference pane.
 
wow..

I guess that seals it. I'm very surprised that those dashboard gadgets came out of Apple. I expect (hope?) we'll see some major revisions to the look before release.
 
real ? lol

i thought they were fake, i guess i could be wrong :) but i just want a new iChat, so i dont care , lol.... the dashboard looks like konfabulator :( and thats just a eye-candy waste of ram
 
Uh oh, now they are gone. I guess they are valid because Apple pulled the plug. I voted for fake yesterday just because they did not seem exactly right to me. I was also hoping that they were not real, simply because I did not like the way they look.

I am hoping for screenshots from the new iChat, Mail, and Safari updates tomorrow. I need to be blown away.....

Anyone have pictures of the G4 iPod?????

Superdrive
 
Like most of the people from now on...

I said they were real... ;)

But will be seriously disappointed if there is no kick-ass reason to update... Steve, the world is pointing you... and better give us a stream right after the Keynote... I still hope an application manager á la F10-Launcher but not that hard/complicated to handle/setup...
 
Plea with Apple

I allways appreciated the clean and easy design of Aqua, I sure hope it stays that way. OSX has developed so much that it becomes very imported to guard this quality. I also hope that Apple will not make changes that will hurt the user-experience without our approval. :)

Apple: Please keep OUR OSX clean and simple!

Thank you.
 
Apple's Legal Department's move does not mean that they are real... does it? No! Please don't be real! No no no!

Despite my no's, I still think that these are somewhat fake, or at least that is what I'm hoping. Less than 24 hours!

Well, Apple Legal's actions certainly add some credibility to these screenshots. As many others here, I am not impressed.
 
Removing the pictures on demand of Apple Legal can't exclude the fact that they are real or not. Remember the 'leaked' tech manuals? They were not correct as well, but they did have it removed as well... So that doesn't mean a thing, Apple doesn't want bad mockups, fake screenshots, or fake manuals hovering around, that's all.

But they could also be real of course, guess we will know within 22 hours.
