Re: Give it up.

My feelings exactly. I guess I have to be on Mac sites 24hrs a day. My regular 10 or so visits a day only result in stories of pictures that have been removed. I bet there are regular user's out there informing Apple of these leaks. How else is their legal department catching on so quick?

Nice job

Looks great. I hope it is much speedier than Jag. Microshaft will have a lot of catching up to do, not that they care.

Where's the stripes?

They appear to be absent. I have to say I've come to like them, even though every man and his dog has copied them for their website/software/brochure.

It would be nice to get smaller controls i think. The buttons always seemed a bit large (certainly on my 12" pb!)

Looking forward to today's webcast...

I'm so psyched

I love OS X. I like the more platinum-like appearance of Panther, too.

No news is good news

It looks like no dramatic feature changes. That's actually good. I think that means they did more work under the hood than on the body. Time for a supercharged, possi traction 440 Hemi OS X with nitro!!!

" You know. All these mac news sites Post pictures of upincoming things. And then when you click on the link it states the pictures have been removed due to Apple Legal. Give me a break!!!!!!"

So, people shouldn't post pictures at all? Is that what you are saying? Or they should wait until you see them before allowing others?

BTW, upincoming is not a word. Did you mean to say "up and coming"?

Nice

Expose (using quartz to scale down windows so you can see all open windows and pick the one you want) looks pretty cool, though naturally apple will overhype it (just look at the name - "expose", common does apple marketing have to get their hands in everything now?) But it's nice to see them finally start thinking about USING all that OS X technology under the hood to do something useful for the user. I'm much more interested in seeing what changes they make to the finder itself, and how the new file system will work. Instead of just one or two overhyped features, it would be nice if they would work towards a more integrated finder system, using the new file system as a database.

Apple desperately needs to move away from Finder concepts and move towards a more dynamic system for managing data in all the file locations in X. For example, I should be able to type into a search engine "fonts" and be shown all relevant font folders and font information. Use the new file system to group information by type and collect them into managment "centers". At the very least, an extensions-manager should be put back into to make it easier to manage both user and administrator Library folders. I would also like to see multiple desktop workspaces built-in to the Finder, hot-keyable windows (imagine setting up a certain window type and location you frequently have to deal with, then just pressing a key to get that exact same setup again), and sticky-windows (attach two windows together so they move as a group- so for example you could have two column views move together so you can easily copy back and forth between them).

A modern OS requires better ways of working with data. I have two 60 GB HDs of data (tens of thousands of files) and I can hardly work with it all because it is so spread out and difficult to manage. A simple find utility isn't going to solve this situation: it's going to take leveraging a new filesystem that can better collect and present data to the user.

Big deal. Screen shots are damn near worthless. You have to experience the new OS to get a good feel for it. I can wait 'till it comes out. However, I'd love to see benchmarks on the new 970s!

Where are the a-holes asking if Panther will be free? $129 baby. And don't expect a $50 Amazon rebate either (at least not one that lasts).

its great

2 years ago I bought my first iMac with OS9. At the end of this year I will be in love with Steve Jobs.

BUT...... I hope that Panther doesn't run smoothly only on dual G5 machines, but also on lower models...
