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

Don't forget that Apple Legal acts when not acting would be detrimental to Apple - whether they act or not usually is not related to whether the rumors are true or not. Apple Legal's goal is to help Apple and baffle the rumor sites.
 
Anyone on sight out there yet in San Fran

Wondering if there are any Macrumors members out there who may be on the ground in San Fran.. of course non-NDA type stuff anyone can offer up on how it looks out there?
 
oh comeon, listen to yourself, do you honestly think that apple would only have these updates in Tiger?? djeez, don't think these screenshots (if real) are the only changes that are going to be made, it would be rather ridicolous to think it would, why develop a year on an app that only has some search functions and a new expose feature?

We'll all know tomorrow what tiger will bring us, don't bother speculating over these screenshots, see them as teasers.

Obviously, these screenshots aren't revealing all there is to Tiger. I am confident that Apple has many surprises for us at the keynote @ WWDC 2004 regarding Tiger.
 
They're Just Screen Shots!

If a Konfabulator ripoff is the most interesting thing Apple has to show off, then Tiger is going to be LAME.

What exactly makes everyone think that these random screen shots provide a comprehensive guide to what's new in Tiger??? A shady source is breaking a legal contract to provide a couple of screen shots just hours before everything becomes public anyway, and you trust that this person cares about showing what YOU will feel would be an important feature?

Also, if the reports that Dashboard is part of Exposé are accurate, then the feature actually seems fairly different from Konfabulator. For example, IIRC, Konfabulator widgets disappear when you invoke one of the Exposé modes, while Dashboard appears to come up only when you invoke it. A picture might be worth a thousand words, but the trick is knowing which words it represents. :)
 
i was a little late to the screenshot party, but i know there's gotta be someone here that saved all the pics. could you send them to me?

i know gmail invites are fairly easy to come by nowadays, but if you don't have an account and you send me the pics ill send you an invite for be'n so cool ;)

btw, is macrumors gonna have that text update thang during WWDC like they did for product releases of yore?

Someone asked this in another thread, and I'll respond the same way I did there - I suspect that MacRumors will go into simple mode for WWDC coverage, just like they've done for previous events.
 
Think Secret still has pictures up no Apple Legal warning

For the previous poster, just go to www.thinksecret.com. They still have the story and the link to all of the pictures up.. or at least they did a minute ago..

Thanks for the e-mail address, prepare to be signed up for lots of spam and porn! Ah, don't worry about it, you have one of those fancy schmancy Google e-mail accounts, so you have plenty of mailbox space to store the plethora of useless messages that will be coming your way... ;) :cool:

Never understood what a person needs a 1 Gb mail acount for in the first place.... :confused:
 
I love Apple legal. They are cool. It's not that they ruin our fun, but that they just love to throw those curveballs! I can't wait. I'll be at my local Apple Store on MacRumors (I only have 56k at home) reading up on what comes out!

sure, these screenshots are the ONLY thing that's new in Tiger, I don't get you ppl.
ever heard of optimism? (glas half empty / full)
 
Safari 2.0 pics

Your right I don't see the Safari RSS pic. It was not overly impressive to me. After all, they are simply processing XML and I assume applying a style sheet and putting it into a web page format. Again this is all one could tell from that image. I agree with the other posters here.. I can't see Steve taking the stage to only show off what has been posted.

Weren't the "new G5 service manuals"-pics also pulled?
Those weren't real either.

Apple just want to get rid of all the so-called "leaked" pics. Fake or not. Otherwise we will know which ones are, and which ones are not real. Now we keep speculating.

That's a very good point. :)

not even optimism, just the sheer fact that we're only seeing maybe 1/4th of the new system. and i forget where i read it (either here or thinksecret) but tiger is nowhere near (development-wise) where panther was this time last year. so all you nay sayers, just shut up and wait for the official word from steve.

don't wait for longhorn. xp has various features that mac os x don't.

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.

First of all, Quartz is also a vector based GUI. That is why you can scale your icons infinately without losing any quality. I don't quite know what you mean by scaleable, but graphics in Quarts can be physically scaled to any level. If you are talking from a development point of view, you shuld clarify. Jobs does realize that people like to customise, he just doesn't give a ****. He feels that he has better taste than you do, and doesn't want to give you the opportunity to deface his creation.

Longhorns GUI is in no way more advanced than Quartz. Visually it is gaudy, which is to be expected from MS. They can try to copy Apple, but taste is something you either have or don't (and MS don't). OS X is elegant and understated. Apple has actually made the interface less colorful in Panther. In the initial releases of OS X they were trying to impress people with their flashy new 3D GUI. Over time, as they have gotten used to the technology good taste has prevailed. I've heard people complain that the Powerbook doesn't have fancy flashing lights on it like Windows Notebooks. I believe that the Longhorn GUI will appeal to this group, but not the typical Mac user.

You have pasted a collage of windows which is supposed to be interpreted as some kind of response. I can't really read everything is that mess but a few of those windows made me laugh. For example, you have a help window which is supposed to be better than OS X. I, along with most others, have found that windows built in help is appalling. You usually cant find anything you are looking for. Even if you do manage to find an answer, it is usually confusing enough to be useless for the normal user. OS X help isn't perfect, but its easier to find answers and they usually make some sense.
 
Win XP VS 10.4

I don't want to start a flame war here, but man you have got to be kidding if you think that Win XP as it currently exists is anywhere near as visualy appealing or useful as OS X even in its 10.3 form. The funiest part of the keynote last year was the short video showing the longhorned steer slobbering on itself and Steve's comment that we understand what the competitive landscape looks like. I agree :p
 
you guys are retarded, haven't you ever heard of something called google? i think that mac os x is starting to get too overloaded.

this is also why windows is a piece of ****
