Impressive demo by Charles Ying (webpage link here) of what hardware accelerated 3D CSS Visual Effects (that are now supported in Snow Leopard's Safari builds as well as the latest Webkit nightly builds) can do.

For all of y'all on Snow Leopard and Safari that can use that actual site, rather than just watch the demo, the live pages is here
Flash begone! This, plus some multitouch pad/tablet could be awesome - and usher in the z dimension a bit more... It's like the ATV start demo, but better. Apple likely to be pushing HTML5 hopefully...
ARM & Snow Leopard
AppleInsider hints to something that could mean 10.6 or a bit later for OS X will run on ARM. Told it was unlikely a while back - but it seems it's more likely on the cards - Article here which references this article here

When Jobs introduced Macintel he stated that all OS X design decisions have to be platform agnostic (or words to that extent). As iPhone OS runs on ARM and given the huge crossover between the Desktop version, one could say OS X already does.

10A411 build out
Apple Seeds OS X Snow Leopard Build 10A411 to Developers

only 5 days after 10A402, maybe the cycle f updates is reaching the fast once per week stage? (followed by a month of silence then a seed and then GM?)
750 MB or so this time. "This update includes general operating system fixes for stability, compatibility, and security."
Bringing a glossy black look to QuickTime and some other minor changes thus far - https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/746685/

Being a big Apple and photography enthusiast, I really like the picture of the Snow Leopard at the keynote.. Does anyone have the pic in, say large wallpaper quality??
I second this. I would love this in wallpaper form
can't wait for snow leopard!
These are no good unless you have the WWDC installer installed. And if you do, why would you want to download the updates manually, as you would already have updated your SL automatically?
I fail to see how these would be of any value to anyone...
Hope someone could clarify this for me.
I was told that to take advantage of Snow Leopard's 64-bit system, I need to install 4GB. Truth or humbug?
I only have 1GB installed and seems plenty enough for me.

and
if you have mac have intel core 2 duo proc, it will be able to run snow leopard.
nothing to do with RAM. CMIIAW ???
All of those use kernel extensions last time I check, which means all of them needs to recompile their extensions to be 64bit in order to run on SL 64bit. You can either wait it out or switch SL to 32bit kernel.
It has a grain of truth, but is the wrong way around. An app can't take advantage of >4GB of ram unless it's 64 bit.
All quiet on the Snow Leopard front?
I'll pop a list of seed dates so far in a bit, but for now, it looks like Final Cut Studio 7 and Logic Pro 9 released, and more got an update. Windows 7 now at RTM apparently...
No mention about refactoring the code to take advantage of GCD etc, so we'll see. Maybe likely now that any changes will come with FCP 8 in around late 2010 (if FCP gets yearly updates).

I think Apple will deliver a revision next year after a couple of 10.6 point releases. It'll bring in Snow Leopard support.
Logic Studio and Final Cut Studio are Intel only so they've done most of the work eradicating PPC code.
Yeah, I was wondering that too.
@NuckinFutz, that would be really disappointing. I mean, I wouldn't expect third parties to have their Apps built at this point on Snow Leopard's new technology and APIs, but that people are going to have to wait an entire year for some of the software from Apple that is going to benefit possibly the most out of the new technology, I would imagine it's maddening.
Yeah I know. Apple didn't put nifty stuff like Core Animation and some other Leopard tech into iWork until a year after Leopard was shipping. We're probably going to see rudimentary support for Snow Leopard for the foreseeable feature and then there will be a more substantial update (my guess is the apps go to x.5 verison) and more Snow Leopard stuff will be enabled. I'm guess almost a year for this.
