Does snow leopard add 4 finger gestures to the older multi touch mac books by any chance? Or will I still have to install that annoying hack?
if I install this will it update like any other os x with seeds? Or will I have to reinstall with each update? What about the final release upgrade?
Total opposite for me, I find the current QuickTime icon icns file inside the Contents folder, and not the new one.
Me too. The new icon looks pretty ugly though so I'm okay with that.
Also, apparently the new Exposé features in the Dock are not included in this build.
It's "clunky" if clicking a link that says "Wireless networks are available" is too mentally challenging for you.
What's a more elegant solution, selecting a network directly from a drop-down menu or selecting "wireless networks are available" from a menu to open a dialog box where you can choose your wifi network?
Children? Those wallpapers are awesome and show that MS has actually stepped into the real world. I love them and use them as my wallpapers in Leopard. The turtle/atuin one is the best.
Who gives a rat's ass about elegance? It's about functionality.
The fact is, until Snow Leopard, AirPort wasn't nearly as useful for quickly getting information about wireless networks. And now it's better. Case closed.
That sounds kind of sad, though.
(I'd still agree with your main point that the SL solution is better than the Leopard one)
Yeah, doesn't work for anyone. I also went though all of the dock and expose and other related files, and found no mention or components of the missing elements at all.
Data Detectors
Someone earlier mentioned Data Detectors...
Can anyone tell me if these work in Safari (hover over a date/time or some contact details)?
I understand in demos that it works in TextEdit, and is a systemwide service, but having this in Safari would be truly killer!
Anyone?

I know what happened. I had copied and pasted the new quicktime icon into the info box of Quicktime. So....the new icon is there, but it's not displaying. Any thoughts?
All the new features and tweaks are really cool. Though I couldn't find the flowers and blue sky desktop background at Sarah Beth Lewis' blog site. Did anyone else go look?
Typical MS atttiude. This has been one of the problems with MS for years. The inability to marry form with function. This is why after 8 years, OS X is still the Gold Standard of operating systems. It's what the rest of the industry aspires to.
Anyone can slap on a feature. There is a whole galaxy of products that suffer from this creeping feature-itis, poorly implemented without regard for the user experience.
Apple isn't moving the industry forward by sheer accident. Everything succeeds or fails in direct proportion to the quality of the user experience. Notice how many features have been present in non-Apple products for a while, but when Apple implements them, they become popular and/or the object of renewed interest. This is one of the main reasons that the iPhone, for instance, has not only become the most desirable device out there almost overnight - becoming the Standard by which other devices are judged, but has managed to retain that position over time.
Good point. It's all about the details.
To burn this build to a dual-layer dvd in Leopard, do I just drag-and-drop the dmg onto the empty dvd and pop it in the drive and boot it when it's done or what?
