Snow Leopard to Include CoreLocation and Multi-Touch APIs

[3247]

Something UAC-like?

I don't know UAC.

What I had in mind was something similar to the dialogue the built-in firewall presents in Leopard.

iMac TouchScreen??!!

I'm hoping this leads to an iMac with a TouchScreen but with VERY powerful Touch-API with varying support in new ways we've all never before seen.

No and Yes

As long as I can turn off core-location I don't mind if it is there.

The multitouch could be huge. I know they are talking about the trackpad. but I want a keyboard. It would be great to have a keyboard that changed to my Photoshop controls when I switched to photoshop. Resizable keys that could be moved around would be fantastic. I do not need the tactile feedback of the keys, but I think most people like that. So here is to wishing for something that I will not see for a long time.

Leopard installation

Hi everybody,

I need help if possible.
I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 GHz,but I do not have the original installation CD/DVD (Leoprad).
I installed a copy Leoprad which worked fine on other older macbook pro (2007 models). After installation, which worked well, when I boot the laptop, it freezes almost all the time. I mean it stops loading the leopard and a white screen remains. I have to boot several times in order to run the OSX. It was OK to install Vista using bootcamp and when I boot in Vista it goes from the first shot. In Vista OS, by using the Leopard DVD, I am not able to install all drivers and I can not see the WiFi network.
I called Apple and they told me that I have to buy the special Leopard DVD for Macbook pro.

Is sombody able to help me?

Thanks

Way to hijack the forum, ogartu. Try searchng the forums (at top right). You may find your answer or at least more relevant thread.

you're obviously young ( calling me sir ) so I'll go easy on you.

The current build of Windows 7 is 7000 not even close to 9801. I know I do MS stuff too.

Now the Table. The table touch interface concept was purchased from Perceptive Pixel. A company started by Jeff Han. He is the guy that started all this multi-touch stuff.

The table was introduced about 6 months after the iPhone was introduced.

Now. Apple has a patent on muti-touch. They have it in the iPhone and also in the trackpads on newer laptops. The first one was out before Windows 7 ever went into any public forum.
It's a natural progression to go from a touch trackpad to a touch O/S. Whether it be in a future product of the current laptops.

If anything Microsoft got the idea from PP.

And please don't call me sir. I was an enlisted man in the military.

1) Sorry, I meant build 6801, I mixed up the numbers.
2) How am I supposed to know you're older or if you were in the military or if you work at a McDonald's? To me, "Sir" is a sign of politness. Take it in anyway you want, I couldn't care less.
3) Like I said and I'll quote: "putting it in an operating system was Microsoft's idea". I was right and I never said Multi-touch was Microsoft's idea.
Also, Apple's notebook gestures are multi-touch but there are like 5. That's nothing compared to having a multi-touch based OS.

I was right when I said, "putting it in an operating system was Microsoft's idea", that's all I wanted to express.

Edit: Also, I am young, 14 years old. Good guess.
