So that it would be out before the netbook announcement that Snow Leopard was really written for. Why else would anyone care about making an OS smaller? Unless you're talking about a small mobile device with limited space.
Got a tip for us?

hey. the box even gets smaller... it's sad to see the CD is just in a plastic bag...
the smaller packaging on this and on final cut and logic is part of Apple's environment friendly stance.
given that you qualify for the $9.95 up to date program why not go ahead and get SL and boot it on an external and see which is better
which can be photoshopped, as can an alleged screenshot
or simply be aware that you will have to hold off on updates for a few days
I have it on good authority that they were going to go with dogs but microsoft was already doing that.
seems that Vista was actually code name Chihuahua. they had a whole ad campaign planned but had to call it off when Taco Bell threatened to sue them for the use of the line "Yo Quiero Windows"
FYI: Many "who Hackintosh" have paid for a retail copy of Leopard for their Hackintosh machines and many who have built Hackintosh machines also purchase and pay for real Macs. And many Hackintoshers also buy expensive software package made by Apple, such as Logic Pro and/or Final Cut Pro, to use on their machines.
I wonder what sort of compensation they offer to the handsome Snow Leopard model on the cover.
A nice meal maybe?
Since we have a confirmed GM, it'll be interesting to see how fast they can put out 10.6.1. They've already had an additional two weeks or so to work on it since it went to the press, so my best guess would be some time at the end of September. Maybe even mid.
Edit: They released 10.5 on 10/26 and had 10.5.1 out 11/15. So it could definitely be fast.

That both my systems will be able to take advantage of full 64bit support and OpenCL. I'm hoping that I see a lot improvement on my MP with the deployment of GrandCentral Dispatch since it has 8 cores.
What I'd like to see is some SL bench tests of the 8800GT versus the aftermarket GTX 285 that was recently added to the Apple Store. I've been thinking about buying it for the performance gain in SL using OpenCL.
Wow, and I have a hard time keeping up with my immediate family! Seems like a lot of work to find people that might want to borrow money from you.
Hahaha.
It's really a trip to learn about all these people and their lives and then to find out they're related. In fact, with the discovery of all this family, some people are trying to plan a family reunion in Orlando, FL during the summer of 2011. Imagine people coming from Europe, the US, Canada, East Asia and the Middle East?!? Every once in a while I think, "Holy cr*p! What if I meet these people and I really don't like them? Then what?!?" Check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiSxJwB29R8&feature=fvw close to 4:35. Dock menu for System Preferences. Is that new?
This makes a lot of sense to me.
The moment the release date of 28 August was announced, it became 100% sure that 10A432 was the GM, because there was not enough time to seed another version, get feedback from testers and print all the retail DVDs.
So how can some people still doubt? Why do we need a Spanish kid to tell us that? I mean, suppose 10A432 is not the GM, then what? How could another version get seeded, tested, printed and distributed in time for next fryday??
The people that doubt are the ones that have no clue about software development. This means they are the ones that stole the developers build and are paranoid that this stolen copy won't work like an actual purchased copy. i'm sick of this.
Looking for Dev Tools minor change
Well, I loaded up a GM that was "out there", but there's one more thing that I hope they changed. Or perhaps the web access for this will change come Friday...
Most of the new docs in XCode are locked out without a Select or Premier dev account. I'm anxious to see what they've changed in AppleScript Cocoa access (replacing AppleScript Studio), and to see some getting started tutorials.
Even though that could be changed with a different install script that might not effect the build number, first load of new docs will probably be http based so it might just require a change of access on the servers.

agree. just buy the damn thing. reminds me when the torrents of iLife '09 were flying around and with them were also trojans.
Yes I know this, and think its the right thing to do. I did the same with my Dell D630 but it was no Mac Book so I eventually got a real one
As for towers... yeah once they get SL running on the i7's nicely (if they don't yet!) I was thinking about a new FCP box... but then I might have a hard time with on-site support... LOL
Looking forward to Friday
I just hope in the future when apple set the 64bit kernel to boot as default they think of all of us with 64bit machines but 32bit EFIs (2006 macpro in my case) and give us a 64bit EFI update so we can run the new kernel...

Can anyone get me that new desktop background from SL? Preferably in a 1680x1050 resolution. Please?

This isn't windows where 64-bit was needed to address memory over 3.5 gigs.
Regular leopard already can address more than 3.5 gigs of memory
64-bit really only makes a difference on OSX SL when you do some major number crunching and addressing memory over 32 gigs.
For 99.9% of the stuff a consumer does with Leopard or Snow Leopard, they will not even notice the difference since 64-bit apps run just fine (no emulation). The OSX system design is somewhat better implemented than windows, so it really doesn't matter if the kernel is 64-bit, 64-bit apps can still run and they can access all the memory they need (I think the limit is exabytes?).
Come friday, there'll be loads of complaints about how this is a horrible upgrade even at 29 bucks. Just watch.
