hmm? You mean the aurora wallpaper? Its included, but just like the old Leopard aurora it gets quite boring after a while I think - so I just change it to something else.

If you want it, I'm attaching it to this post.

Where can I find the wallpaper with the tree? This one:

I remember reading a long time ago that Snow Leopard would let you boot from DMGs, so you could have multiple copies of your entire OS on the same volume. I think this would be awesome for testing purposes. Is this function there?
 
It would really be nice to see something other than Aqua with Snow Leopard. Other than that... it looks great. Not too much has really changed.

Well, it's pretty much like what I stated. Every tab you open in Safari 4 is now treated like its own web browser, essentially. So if something goes wrong on that tab, like a plug-in, everything else still works.

Not sure of all the the technical jargon behind it, but that's essentially what occurs.

I thought it was even more granular than that. In that a plug-ins process within a tab can crash, but the tab remains active without the plugin?

So if Flash crashes within a tab...the tab and the HTML page stay up, but the flash goes away.

From this page: http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/

In addition, Safari is even more resistant to crashes. It turns out that the number one cause of crashes in Mac OS X is browser plug-ins. So Apple engineers redesigned Safari to make plug-ins run separately. If a plug-in crashes on a web page, Safari will keep running.

Maybe I'm just reading too much into it. ;)

Is it just me, or is the menu bar much more translucent than Leopard currently allows? It looks like the original translucent menu bar that was removed after Leopard was released.

Just ship a proper 2 button mouse for gods sake... the OS is clearly crying out for it. 2009, and this is still an issue. And yes I know we can plug in a multi button mouse anyway... but my iMac didnt ship with one (other than the whacky side buttons) which is crazy in itself.

I don't care about Pictures/Screenshots, it's all identical.

Problem is... since OpenCL is so new to the Mac platform, there aren't really any apps written yet to take advatage of it.

I hope HandBrake adopts OpenCL rather soon after the release of SL!

I just tap with two fingers on my MBP, so I'm glad there's only one button. I never use it anyway, so I can see why Apple removed it totally in the new MBPs.

To the devs with SL installed: How's Mail.app doing when it comes to IMAP-push? In Leopard it can take Mail.app 10 minutes to get an e-mail pushed, but it gets pushed to my cell phone within seconds. Is it better in SL? How about attachments? I love Apple, but I don't understand how they can't make Mail.app handle attachments correctly. I'm so tired of using Thunderbird now! :eek:
 
I have installed 10A380 on one of my eternal USB drives. It is so amazingly fast! Many apps only bounce once in the dock when you open them and they are running.

I installed it externally because I'm not sure if the developer build is all that stable yet. No problems yet though. Do you all think its ok to install over Leopard without having any problems? And will most Mac apps that run in Leopard work just as well in Snow Leopard? In one of the earlier Snow Leopard builds that I had, I downloaded Paintbrush and it constantly crashed after just a few minutes of it being open. I just don't want to have that problem with all my other apps.

IE8 might have had the feature for quite a while in testing, but it only 'shipped' in March of 2009. Chrome came out of beta in December of 2008.

Is "shipping" a beta not "shipping"? LOL in the context of a Google offering ;) .

The point is that IE8 also has the process-per-tab feature - it's not a Chrome exclusive, and people were using it in IE8 beta long before Chrome's beta.

...anyway, a minor point...

Those are not just two contextual menu options but totally revamped, customizable and configurable Services menu (which you can extend to your heart's content)
 
Don't know about the rest of you folks, but I'm very very very excited about Snow Leopard. September cannot come soon enough!

Text to speech to iTunes?

Wow, automatic text to speech with conversion to an iTunes track? That's a shot across the bow to the Author's Guild which in February tried to seek an injunction against the Amazon Kindle 2 for its text-to-speech feature. Amazon has since bowed to the pressure and has started to disable TTS on some of its offerings.

http://news.cnet.com/amazon-retreats-on-kindles-text-to-speech-issue/

This Snow Leopard feature creates new content from existing content -- the very thing that the Author's Guild objects to. With this feature you could buy an e-book, convert it to an audio track, and listen to it on your iPod.

I wonder how the quality of Apple's TTS compares to the Kindle's.
