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

How do you confirm Apple Legal notification Arn?
Just wondering since it is a Sunday, I am assuming the notification comes via email? If so how do you verify it is real? It is interesting that Think Secret still has them up.

THIS CAN'T BE REAL IT JUST CAN'T BE!!! 😱
*goes out to buy all the panther cds at the apple store (Hey people might want to buy these after Tiger is on every mac sold, 500% markup is reasonable for a Post-Tiger launch world.) *

Lol to the post above, though hopefully Tiger isn't THAT bad.
Anyways, there goes my first reason for not believing that these are real. I'm still hoping that this Dashboard thing is a fraud, or if it is real looks a helluva lot better than it does. And hopefully Tiger will bring even bigger things. Either way, even if the new OS sucks, the Keynote will still rock and we'll all be able to continue enjoying Panther.

I'm just saying what Steve told me when I e-mailed him and begged him to stream it live. 😀
Javaone at the same time and Java desktop
Ok a bit off topic but I think related. Just next door tomorrow the Java One kickoff will highlight the latest JDE 1.5 (also codenamed Tiger??) anyway it is interesting to take a look at Sun's web site and the ways that they are employing creative 3D in their future desktop design. In some ways I wish Apple would take a clue from something like this...
http://wwws.sun.com/software/looking_glass/details.html
The second really cool piece of technology I would like to see Apple integrate is a logcial filing system ala Six Degrees from Creo http://www.creo.com/global/products/software_solutions/creative/six_degrees/default.htm
It is a really cool paradigm for storing emails, with links to people and associated files all in one database. It would be cool if applied at the OS level. Anyway these are things I would hope to see. I think the screenshots fall far short of that.
I was at WWDC last year for the keynote and it was fun. Getting the free iSignt camera didn't stink either. I think though unless things have changed with regards to the wi-fi there, it is unlikely we will see live updates from the auditorium. Of course if one used their cell phone or cell connection card, I guess we might. Sure wish they would just stream the keynote. Of course I am on a plane tomorrow during the whole thing, so I get to see the results when I get into Dayton OH.

Only because they've been pulled doesn't mean they're authentic. Some of the reasons Apple might want to pull even fake screenshots might be:
1) Though being fake, they may render features that actually are going to appear in Tiger, which Apple want to keep secret until the official presentation (which I hope is true in case of that new Expose feature; I just hope it will look the way an Apple product should look)
2) Apple doesn't want a situation in which it and its product are evaluated on the basis of fake screenshots being taken for real ones (imagine an incompetent journalist who comes across those fake screens in a forum post titled "Real Tiger screenshots" and publishes them in a newspaper, with Apple's logo next to them)

Apple disables web access during the keynotes. Last year you could still use rendezvous to iChat with people in the auditorium but WAN access was disabled.
An archive is supposed to be posted following the live keynote... just like last year.
Thinks Secret Apple connection?
Ok since De Plume (Or Matt Rothenbergh) or whomever actually runs Think Secret hasn't been hit up yet. I know this has been posed in the past, but why is it that Think Secret has been so accurate of late. Either they really are connected inside, or they are actually Apple? Just throwing it out there. 😱

Wi-Fi at WWDC
I can attest that the connection everywhere in the new Moscone wing stunk last year at WWDC. I ended up doing most everything from the connection in my hotel since the Airport nodes appeared to be just overwhelmed. It was common to get a connection but take forever to get an IP address and even once you got it it was SLOWWWW.

Both. It would be hard to get enough bandwidth to stream it due to the huge demand, and the Apple security guards would stop you anyway.sethypoo said:

Well, here is a good example of why Apple would want to pull these even if they are fake - if the screen shots make people not want to buy Tiger then leaving them up would be detrimental to Apple.
Of course, assuming they are genuine, the final version of Tiger will definitely look much better than these.

If they turn out to be genuine and you're at WWDC tomorrow and not happy, instead of whooping everything Steve Jobs says, have the balls to stand up and boo him, let them know that you're not happy and not impressed.
