same here.
I think the issues others have mentioned in this thread pretty much relate to the fact that most people installed SL over 10.5
I had issues with SL (tho not with Safari) after installing by this method.
But the reward for the extra time it takes to backup home folder, wipe HDD and do a totally fresh install of SL, yields a quick and stable OS with no issues.
worked for me anyways
I can't tell if you're being serious.
Obviously it would be a photograph of a photoshopped picture displayed on q screen.
You had to ruin everything, didn't you?
I don't know
I don't know about that. I installed SL over 10.5 on both my iMac and MacBook. I haven't had any problems with the OS or with Safari. No beach balls, no crashes, Safari works like a charm. Then again, I'm not using any 3rd party hacks or plugins except for Flash. Which only crashed on me once since 10.5. :/
It makes me wonder what you guys are doing different then me, for you to have so much trouble. :/

No, all there is to do is to take a real screenshot with Cmd+Shift+3, fake the image in Photoshop, then take a photo of the faked image in photoshop. There is no need to fake the screen pixels since you can just take a real photo and voila, real pixels! It would be dumb to actually take the time and effort to fake a photograph of a screen, unless you seriously don't own a camera or something...
Anyway, apparently we can't tell whether this is true or not, if there are any developers here, they could tell us whether normally betas have the **PRERELEASE** label or not. I doubt someone would put that text in a fake image if it weren't the case.
What if this guy has a friend who's a developer, and got the photo from him? Or what if this guy is a developer himself? What if it's real? It's not like it's a UFO sighting or something... It's a beta build of an OS update... I don't think there's a point in thinking about this! I mean, we'll get the update soon anyway, if it's real, than we will probably get it sooner than we think...
I'm not a developer myself, but I happen to know one who basically said Apple hasn't used the **PRERELEASE** label before.
He also said prerelease Mac OS X updates may be offered by Software Update, but you'll need to point it to the right server which is protected by login. So it's almost impossible to download this by accident, unless Apple put it on the wrong server. But then he wouldn't be the only one who got it.
A few weeks ago 10.6.3 was supposed to be released 'in hours', he added, but then new builds were released. He doesn't know when it will be out. It seems like Apple is waiting for something, but I don't know what it is.
Hopefully it fixes mouse errors that I get on my Mac Pro with a 4870. I heard it's got gpu driver updates or something.
Does Chrome have a grease-monkey equivalent? My productivity is seriously destroyed without grease-monkey.
I'd love to get 10.6.3 just so I can actually use the Exchange support in Mail.app rather then having it crash every 5 minutes all day long.
This Story Should Be Right Next To This One....

I really don't know what people are referring to, but for me, safari never crashes, it's fast, and it's compatible... As for why the next update might be big? OpenGL improvements, which would probably mean they have to update "graphics drivers" for most if not all computers, which would seem to agree with what we've been seeing in terms of what developers are told to work on, usually "graphics drivers" is in the list.
Edit: Also, I installed SL on top of Leopard and am having no problems. So often PEBKAC is the cause of computer problems anyway, ask any IT guy.

If I were to fake a screenshot of an update, I'd Take a screenshot with Command+Shift+3/4 then photoshop in the text etc. put that up on my screen and then take a picture of that with my camera, it would help hide very small mistakes, and would look like it might be more credible because "look I took a photo of my screen with my camera so it has to be legit." it would be nice to see the whole screen. I'm not saying this pic is a fake, but it could be with minimal effort.
I have ClickToFlash installed and it hardly ever crashes.
Yes! You can't NOT (sue me English majors) run Safari without ClickToFlash. Ever since I've found CTF, my browsing enjoyment has increased ten-fold.
Since we seem to have veered off onto the Safari discussion I'll just say 4.0.5 seems very stable. Still doesn't like to load RSS feeds without the occasional crash but for the most part it is very stable.
And why hasn't Apple built Click To Flash into Safari? It is a great little app.
As for 10.6.2, it's been stable since I pulled my RAID card it doesn't seem to work well with arrays. Even the Apple Card was having problems in my 09 Mac Pro.
But all things considered Snow Leopard has been working fairly well for me YMMV.

Sue you? But you're quite right, you can run Safari without ClickToFlash. I've never had it installed, and I've never had Safari crash. Still looking forward to 10.6.3 though, even a prerelease
.**prerelease**
When I worked for Apple, Software Update would frequently pull up software with the **PRERELEASE** software and it usually got released the next day. The **PRERELEASE** indicator was supposed to be a red flag not to install it on your production machine.

oh well.what work did you do at Apple? any tips on what degrees and experience are an advantage to work at Apple or a similar Silicon Valley company?
how the hell did you do that?
so it seems it can be faked.
Anyway, the point is, it's easy to fake such things.
It's highly unlikely it's genuine, considering the information it contained (build number) is already published on the web a day prior.
Cool. I've never seen the original video of that. Love the P-bear remix though.

Not really trying to convince anyone of anything, just speaking from my experience. No tips I can really offer, from what I saw in my tenure it didn't take much to work as lowly AppleCare phone agent. My guess is that it's. A screenshot from an internal machine. Sometimes (rarely) the prerelease builds ended up getting pulled and would show up again with a new build number. Most commonly though they would go public the next day with the same build number. I think the **prerelease** version is meant to test delivery of the package via software update and is the last stage of testing after development. Just my 2 cents.

haha ok still good work though
i guess an IT degree, customer service experience and showing signs of good teamwork is needed.
