Mac OS X Leopard 10.5 GM Candidate Build

[glennyboiwpg]

I can't wait!!

But how long after its release date will it take to reach me in South America??

I bet that you get it before us canadains do... I"m in winnipeg manitoba and our best buys/futureshops STILL don't have ipod touches!!!!

 

[paulyras]

Wow. I wonder what the odds will be of an after the close press release, so I can get my MBP with a free freaking copy of leopard?!?!?!? I'm tempted to just go get the dang thing regardless.....

 

[stealthninja]

i bet they have hammocks by their desks.

and a case of RedBulls each!

Every time a Gold Candidate is rejected you burn it with some chemicals so out from the main HQ black smoke will appear. When you finally get a Gold Copy that will be finally you burn some papers so that white smokes appears.

Pope OSX the Fifth?

I wonder when are we going to see new Apple front page... Does anyone remember how long before the Tiger release did Apple put the day counter on their site?

I think it was 14 days, might have been 16. I'm was hoping for a counter by 6:00 pacific tonight. maybe tomorrow or Mon though now.

I haven't seen any yet here in Quito, either. They're still selling the old nanos and shuffles!

Maybe by the end of today PR will let us know?

i sure hope so. man, this is going down to the wire

 

[overcast]

How many of hours of sleep do you think the programmers are getting?

Under the wrath of Jobs? Lewl.

 

[chubad]

They better pull some people from the iPhone team.

Apple's site still says Leopard is "arriving in October." Not shipping; arriving. Telling?

http://www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/

 

[MattJessop]

Great news! Don't think I've ever seen a news item with no negative votes before....

Looks like somebody did it just to upset you.

But otherwise! Finally!

Just a shame that I have no money after buying my iPod touch

Oh well.

that's true. it seems like "arriving" is better than "shipping"

REAL ARTISTS SHIP!!!
haha

 

[mondesi43]

and a case of RedBulls each!

Opening cans takes their fingers off the keyboard so has broken out the RedBull IV bags.

 

[jonkemerer]

Geez usually it's a money issue with me, now that I have the freaking money I'm waiting on the company to ship it out. I can never win.

lol Jobs standing around the developers with his hands on his hips, pacing.

w00t! GM! Bring the Spotted Kat!

(lol j/k ...I know you spell Katt with two T's...)

 

[crees!]

That word isn't even part of their vocabulary.

HAHAHA. I was just going to write the same thing about seeing a news story with only 1 Negative vote. I hope those programmers get a day off when they're done. Oh wait, 10.5.1. Poor guys/gals. We should send them a fruit basket!

wouldn't be surprised to see this ship on the last day in october. Don't know where the 26th deadline came from.

It's been covered repeatedly in tons of detail in previous article and threads. Apple has even made internal announcements of 6PM that day.

It's going to be the 26th, especially since the last day of October is Halloween.

Nope. Arriving and shipping are the same thing. Not to mention that they've already promised shipping in october.

 

[LostPacket]

If Leopard is released on the 26th, when would Macs begin shipping with it?

 

[hob]

I hope they don't ship it. It'd be way better if they released it as a download. 4 gigs would take most of us 2-3 hours to download off a decent server? Probably loads better for the environment too... Vista is available for direct download, it's about time Apple got onboard!

 

[thies]

It doesn't take much time to send the data to regional duplication facilities around the world and the final boxed product from there to stores.

we want external announcements today 6pm, not internal

and arriving doesn't seem to be the same as shipping to me

but that's not very apple-like now is it?

 

[abrooks]

What is the point in this story? It tells me nothing.

Leopard is on a dual-layered DVD, not everyone has a DL burner. also, MS can get away with it since their OS requires a CD Key and activation, Apple's OS does not. i doubt you'll see a downloadable version
