i didn't realize that rosetta was staying in snow leopard. it seems like they would let it go since they are pushing developers into cocoa and optimizing for multi-core machines.
Got a tip for us?

OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard Build 10A335 Seeded to Developers

Does anyone know if these builds actually run on PPC processors or not? Everyone keeps saying how Snow leopard *might* not end up being supported on PPC processors. But if the current betas don't run on PPC, its reasonable to believe that the final won't either, and then we can put these rumors to rest.
Goodbye PowerPCs
I eagerly look forward to Snow Leopard. 10.6 will make PowerPCs (G4s and G5s)effectively obsolete. Question: is there any Mac OS XI down the line? Also, why not Domestic Shorthair, they are the most popular cat out there.

Does SL allow you to adjust the system volume using the optical cable?
In Leopard, it only works with iTunes which is strange considering a software update for AppleTV allows volume control using the toslink.

OSXI is years, maybe decades away. It wont resemble computing as we know it.
Apple said already that OSX lays the groundwork for quite some time ahead.
Does 10.6 run on Yonahs?
Will it run on 32-bit Yonahs, or is Apple going to knife the "32-bit Intel" baby with this one?

From what I've seen it's an option in the info box on each application that is capable of it.
Some had it and some didn't... beats me why you can pick which one to use...
Is this really stated to be stability/bug fix update by Apple? I certainly hope they never refer to it as that, because it would be ironic that when it does finally launch it will no doubt be severely less stable and more bug prone than Leopard until at least after the first 4-5 major updates come out for it.
I like the name Snow Leopard. It's just like Leopard, but it has a fresh layer of stability snow sprinkled on top.

No, Apple states it as being a release that is "taking a break from adding new features" and that it is mostly an "under the hood" update - in that as opposed to adding 300+ new features like they did with Leopard, they're focussing on improving the code, reducing the footprint of the OS, and increasing it's overall performance and how it works with multi-core machines.
Yeah, but the name Lion should be given to the final/best OS. Maybe the last OS X version before OS XI - that would be cool
Haha I liked him too, mostly because my real name is Angel though.
OS X 10.6 Sex Panther. Ha ha I just watched anchorman the other day
Don't get the reference, but presumably that would be much more O than S?
These are not cool names for an OS though.
If cats were people, the Lions and Cougars of the world would drive Ford trucks and shop at WalMart.
Lions are also fat and lazy and their name sounds too much like "Lying" anyway. Cougar is a synonym for a middle aged woman.
I like dogs better than cats. They should switch to canines with Pit Bull as the first one. Then Rottweiler, German Shepherd, and Doberman Pincher.
Seriously though, can't wait till this cat is released. It would be nice for them to revamp the UI but not dice yet. Hopefully by WWDC.
Yeah, they're running out of cats fast. It's about time they move on to a different animal altogether. How about sharks? 360 species, 8 orders... that should last a few years. Great white... Hammerhead... Mako... Megamouth... Thresher... Sand tiger... California horn...
Like all the others before it, it does not.
There is no putting the rumor to rest, trust me. Even with every single piece of available evidence weighted against the theory, there are a sizable number of members clinging to the idea that there is more than a remote chance of a last-minute turnaround to add PowerPC back in where it currently is not.
It's one of those undying theories, like the one below.
OS XI is a myth and has almost no chance of ever coming into existence. At some point, the OS version will advance to 11.x (barring a complete overhaul), but "OS X" is a brand overhaul to replace the numbered System series. It's not a simple restarting into Roman numerals--there's a better chance of 11.0 still being called "OS X 11.0" than "OS XI". Just as Adobe introduced CS for the same reason, they're very clear that the "ten" in OS X stays separate from the "ten" in the version number.
It's always OS X 10.5, and never OS X.5. It's not a coincidence.
But CS is the product (it's a creative suite).
Everyone who jumped on the "let's replace version numbers with a word or a letter combo that ends with X" train a few years ago (Flash "MX", Cubase "SX", Windows "Vista" etc) has started going back to numbers (Cubase 5, Windows 7) again. The X thing is getting stale and Apple likes to start trends, not be the last one to cling to them. I think they'll drop the X soon enough.
I was under the impression that people who pronounce it as "Oh Ess Ex" are usually lynched/shot down/ridiculed...? I've seen it happen countless times on this forum. "It's OS TEN, retard!! Not 'OS ex'!". So that's, what, "OS Ten Ten Point Five"?
Wait, Apple is going to follow what everybody else does? I thought it's the other way around.
