That's nice, but I was looking for a more deep red like this
 
Some of those wallpapers are horrendously ugly. :-(

Wow, strong opinion. Shame. They are broadening their palette for a wider userbase. I think there's been too little variation for wallpapers in past versions of OS X, and this adds a little colour. Rather than dwell on the negative, why don't you offer up a "solution" to the problem before your eyes?
 
I honestly thought a lot of Apple people had higher standards than this. I guess not when it comes to icons.

That icon is worse than Vista's (Win7 icons rebadged).

To some degree people will eventually ditch these wallpapers when the time comes. It's just the hype because they are new.
 
And yet, there's not a compelling reason for Macs to come with Blu-Ray as anything other than a BTO option.

not according to the more vocal posters on sites like this. they are screaming that Macs should have been the first, not the last, to have blu-ray burners (not just players) in all the machines. that it is a travesty that it's not there, that Steve Jobs is a moron for bashing blu-ray cause it is THE future, blah blah.
 
you must have leopard to use the $29 disk. if you don't, you can get a mac box set of the full snow leopard and the new iwork/ilife (which only work on leopard) for like $149-169.

intel systems only. no more PPC support.

these details were brought up when they announced the release month and price

as for the whole "how dare they not support PPC". Apple has been very upfront from day one of the intel systems that they would phase out support for PPC. only folks that never read the mac blogs will be in the dark over this issue. the last power macs were sold almost 3 full years ago so even with apple care they will be out of warranty. a lot of the folks using them will likely upgrade to a many times faster machine so no great issue. those that are still happily using them aren't likely to be doing any major tasks that need the kick of SL anyway.

LET ME TELL YOU ALL SOMETHING...

As a PPC user only, truer words have never been said in this thread, and probably won't again.

I have an iBook G4 and an iMac G4. I love them both, and they both work just fine, and they both do everything I ask of them, which is everything I need from my computers. I do not expect my Tiger and Leopard machines to get special treatment. I knew that buying them, and I know that now.

I spent a lot of time debating whether or not I should buy that iMac. I bought it in the end because it was what I wanted. I did not and do not expect what I want to be what everyone should have. People NEED to realize that the same is true for everything that everyone owns. Those that can't come to terms need to grow up quickly, or if not, just leave the rest of us that did alone.

Stop complaining. Snow Leopard is dropping PowerPC. It is NOT the end of the world. Things change. That's life. Deal with it. Just. Deal.
 
Steve Jobs is a moron for bashing blu-ray cause it is THE future, blah blah.

You really know who the morons are? The people that take half truths and spin them to fit their agenda. Steve never talked crap about bluray, he merely said licensing for bluray was a bitch (which at the time was true, involving many different agreements from all over the place, apparantly know its simpler). But hey if you wanna go and twist words, be my guest.
 
It's not only false...it's ABSOLUTELY false. I have virtually no bugs in Leopard; it's as rock-solid as a good OS can be.
Leopard is very good and stable for the vast majority of people, but to say it's not without flaws or issues for some is what's absolutely false here.

As usual, the vocal minority tends to speak for everyone, but there were some well-documented issues that plagued Leopard, although most have been fixed now.

Maybe he never "talked crap" about Blu-ray, but he did refer to the licensing as a "bag of hurt," which is a pretty vocal way of showing disapproval for the format.

And the fact that Apple still seems to operate on the whim of Steve Jobs is a pretty clear indication that Blu-ray support won't be coming on any Apple machines for quite a long time.

Agreed. Apparently Leopard still has several annoying issues such as unexpected wake ups, wifi dropouts, bluetooth connectivity issues, etc etc.
 
And I have ZERO problems with it. It's a flawless backup solution for me...so much so that I don't even remember having it.
Again, just because you (and me) have no issues with Time Machine doesn't mean that others won't, or at least finding it annoying.

I know we'd all like to think Apple makes perfect software, but they don't. No one does. It's not a perfect world.
 
The amount of discussion a simple new icon, a few new avatars and a bunch of new wallpapers garners on MR is simply phenomenal. No wonder Apple's doing so well. :D

That to me says exactly what it sounds like, "licensing is a bag of hurt" were his exact words if im not mistaken. Doesn't sound a damn thing close to "bluray is a bad media" to me.

No, although naturally the format could be better w/o such licensing issues.

I beleive that fairly recently a one stop authority was set up by everyone involved in bluray to simplify the process, I remember reading something to that nature.

I do remember reading quite a while ago that originally to use bluray you had to deal with over a dozen different companies.

I just wish I could remember WHERE I read all of this.:(
 
these desktopbackgrounds are...

:apple: :apple: :apple: i can't beliee how you all like these desktop backgrounds! they are absolutely ugly! if microsoft had used them for windows 7 everyone would have complained about their color or the fact that a desktopbackground should not be a "perfectly sharp picture" (for example of a snow leopard) with bright colors, but a relaxing, probably blurry picture on which you can find your icons - once you placed them there... sorry, but these desktopbackgrounds are not apples taste or style. they are just cheap, ugly and tasteless!!! :apple: :apple: :apple:
