No I still think they care to a point. You guys torrenting it aren't under NDA like some of us. I expect the GM not to be updatable via SU and not to hit the ADC servers until launch or a day after. Now if there wasn't so much piracy they might seed it to devs prior to release but those days are long gone.
Oh... i agree... But me personally i will be buying Snow Leopard when its released I just wanted to test it on my comp now!
I'm sure he had help carrying.
Just one of those lenses is listed at $89,579 USD (the 1200mm f/5.6 USM) on Wikipedia. He may have been travelling with close to a quarter of a million $.
It wasn't Apple who footed the bill, initially. Some of the time he works/worked for National Geographic. Apple has likely bought the rights to use the photos as wallpaper from an existing library at a stock agency (its how its usually done). They would have paid a lot too.
Sell the pictures for 500% more than they're worth.
A 1200mm lens? That must be a couple feet long!
Has 64-bit Kernel been enabled for the systems capable of running 64-bit yet? It sucks that my air can't use the 64-bit kernel even when the hardware supports it
Just saw a post on Uneasysilence about the wallpapers too.... http://uneasysilence.com/archive/2009/07/14293/ 
Maybe I can Handbrake my MacBook to death before Snow Leopard is out.
It'll finally be doing something besides being asleep or idle!

Ah, nice to know that ^_^
But who knows about the icons, maybe Apple just can't make up their mind - either way I doubt we'll see a "Pro" version - that would be utterly stupid on their part.
A photographer who manages to have a series of images that Apple buys. Makes you wish you were in a different job, doesn't it!
For the record, I'm a photographer.... and I can't afford those lenses either. But Steve Winter is very very good, and more importantly - dedicated. I know a photographer who will wait in freezing temperatures for dawn to break, for hours on end, day after day, until he gets the image he wants. One Image. Maybe, he'll take two or three exposures, one exposure in each of the 3 formats he shoots with. Sometimes he gets nothing at all. He's been known to go back to the same location year after year at the same time of year, waiting for the perfect light. That is the kind of photographer who can afford those lenses.
Where's the geotag?
I see some comment fields describing the picture - but no lat/lon.
A photo is worth exactly what someone will pay for it, no more - no less.
Ummm.... 1.2 meters, actually. I'll let you do the conversion. But, I'll give you hint... you are off by a "stop"..... hee hee (photo humour)
A 64-bit kernel will suck an Air's battery dry in about 37 minutes....
</sarcasm>
Seriously, why do you think that 64-bits will help a giant netbook? Do you have 8 GiB of RAM in it?
why is everyone talking about photographers and photo equipment? Why don't we find out what's in this new build... the only thing i've seen so far is a new quicktime logo and new wallpapers, not impressed.
Well, since I'm running 64-bit hardware, stuff will execute and run faster. The air isn't a giant netbook, at least from my perspective.

3.9370079 feet. That is just massive!

Exactly; I was wondering how much difference this makes in the real world for people who have tried it on an eight core machine (maybe even vs. a four core) and may be interested in sharing. Since I am about to buy a Mac Pro and need to decide between GHz and cores, this is highly relevant for me.
Otherwise known as: if you were about to drop 5k on a new Mac Pro how would you spend it...in the context of having used SL.
