One of the most highly touted features new to Leopard is Time Machine, the “always on” backup system that takes the effort and guesswork out of backing up important data. But, to the chagrin of many (or at least myself), Time Machine does not backup to AirDisks. I have not personally tried it, but when [...]
Step 1. Announce a device running a version of said operating system with proper modifications for the device’s interface and applications.
Apple Announces iPhone, Stock Soars. Jan 9 2007
There have been very few times in Apple’s history where investors bought on the news. When Jobs started to introduce the phone, before calling it a phone, the [...]
Well this is interesting. I pre-ordered my copy of Leopard the first day it was available to do so. Apple guaranteed shipment on October 26 (today).
The package was shipped via FedEx Priority Overnight which has a guaranteed delivery time of 10:30AM (unless you live in a remote area…which last time I checked Denver, CO wasn’t [...]
When Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) arrives on Friday, Apple retail stores will be open extended hours from 6 p.m. until 10 p.m., with live demonstrations and Geniuses on hand to answer your Leopard questions. Also, the first 500 customers at each store will receive a free special edition Leopard T-shirt. But, contrary to the [...]
A TAB reader in Canada sent us this image of his order status for Leopard. His copy of Leopard was shipping this morning via Purolator Courier’s Express Overnight delivery, which should put Leopard in his hands possibly by tomorrow…a day early than expected.
Has anyone else noticed if there pre-order of Leopard has shipped?
There are some things you can do prior to installing that I sometimes recommend. Many of these things are not guaranteed to work (and some people actually say will do more harm than good). I, for one, don’t see an issue with the basics that some recommend: Start by repairing permissions: either run Disk Utility [...]
As you may know, Apple has posted a guided tour of Leopard to the company’s Web site, giving us the most in-depth preview so far of the latest operating system upgrade, which hits stores this Friday. After taking the 20+ minutes to watch the video in full, I can unequivocally say I am very impressed, [...]
Iyaz Akhtar wrote earlier about some of the new features in Leopard, set to debut in nine days. The full list spans over 300 new features — some of them niftier than others.
This is my first major OS X upgrade since I switched (back) to Mac, and it struck me as funny that a [...]
With the announcement of Leopard’s release date, there were plenty of comments that the Leopard upgrade is nothing but a few bells and whistles added to Tiger. Some think that there is no reason to upgrade from Tiger to Leopard. After all, Tiger is a very refined version of OS X. Why [...]
Today Apple officially announced that their next version of OSX, Leopard, will go on sale at 6 P.M. on October 26.
Leopard is also available for pre-order with a guaranteed delivery date of October 26.
Taking the usual jab at Microsoft, Steve Jobs made the following comment of Leopard pricing:
…everyone gets the ‘Ultimate’ version, packed with all [...]
According to ThinkSecret, Leopard is still on track for its delayed release estimate of October.
This gives Apple a matter of a few weeks to declare a Gold Master, produce a significant number of copies and get them to retail stores. It’s a time crunch for sure.
I don’t remember the exact timeline of things with the [...]

Noted blogger and podcaster Daniel Eran Dilger writes today at Roughly Drafted on Leopard and the History and Future of Mac OS X on PowerPC.
For those of you, like our own Stephanie Guertin, who are running on older PPC systems, Dilger lays out why support for the PowerPC isn’t going away [...]
I have a vintage 800MHz iMac G4. There, I’ve said it, and wow, does that sound strange and unpleasant to me. I love my iMac - remember those commercials where it stuck its ‘tongue’ out at the guy on the sidewalk? - and I was very excited to hear, initially, that I could [...]
The CookBook application which was one of the 3 top spots in the My Dream App competition has some updated details. The pictures sure are pretty, and it looks like things are really coming together nicely. From the post, it sounds like it’s nearly decided to be Leopard-only, so we’ll assume no release [...]
Thank all that’s Holy and good - something other than iPhone to write about! Macrumors reports that Mac Developers have gotten a new seed of Leopard which actually reads and writes to the ZFS [file system]. Many likely don’t care or even understand what this means. But some geeks will be quite [...]
So the argument goes that we saw a lot of eye candy from the Keynote yesterday, but there was a lack of useful features - of substance. In order from disagreement with this position, to moderate agreement, I present you the list of features.
First off, Stacks. We’ve been hearing about patents along these [...]
