I can't wait. I am stuck on 19% (which means goobimama is automatically stuck as well).
Gawd! I need the new Finder and Time Machine. Also, Delicious Library is going to have an awesome, core animation powered Leopard only interface in the next version. Can't wait.
Hey, does your MBP run a bit too hot?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
what do u mean by 'bit too hot'? I can usually use it on my lap. the case temperature (enclosure bottom) hardly touches 40 or goes above it. and if I am wearing shorts, (or in any other cases when it might be resting directly on skin) , i use a utility called coolbook to 'underclock' the cpu, It reduces the voltage and clock speed of the processor to keep it cooler even though the fans are at lowest speeds. also, try smcfan control to bump up the minimum fan speed of ur laptop to have it cool faster. also note that unline u, I am using bottom of the line 15 inch macbook pro.

Ah well, I've tried smcFanControl but found a better alternative, Fan Control. It installs as a preference pane and automatically increases/decreases the fan speeds based on the temperature.
Do you read Fake Steve?

I hope they come up with some radical new design, but this is not too bad either. :drool:
(For the uninitiated, Apple has called a press conference today that is supposed to be "about Mac products only".)
Engaged will cover it live here.
Event starts at 10:30 PM IST.
Steve, you better not disappoint us; I'm already so sad about Fake Steve's going bust.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
^^^^^ you can just imagine how pathetic iphone & Leoaprd were when a Macboy says "its less then perfect"
New Macs, nah don't think so...my best bet is a tablet Mac, like tablet PCs released 4 years ago, just twice the cost & running Mac OS without any USB port, something like this.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
The Jobsmeister is strictly against tablet Macs, so they are not going to be a reality any time soon. But then again, he was also against multi-button mouse. You never know.
New Macs are a given. If not the iMac, then it will be some other Mac. But I am almost sure it is going to be new iMacs. I hope they also have some interesting announcements about Leopard and .Mac. This is gonna be exciting!

Lolz....how many things will Apple copy & still say they invented it. They ripped Vista's breadcrumb bar straight, however good they added what MS missed. Drag & srop to those small 16X16 icons of pathbar
Time machine is slow. Obviously, it is backing up & journling
Multi-touch Tablet Mac with 10" LCD which costs a bomb....oh wait, just another add on to Apple's expensive line of Macaryayush said:
Source plz
Add some features to Leopard like ZFS & Cut option. Free .macI hope they also have some interesting announcements about Leopard and .Mac. This is gonna be exciting!

Difference is, they improved it, unlike Microsoft which took good features like the Dashboard and ruined them.
And I can guarantee you they are not going to claim that they invented it.
Yes, they did. Lifted it from here and dropped it there.gx_saurav said:

Why do I need a source to hope for something? To expect something to happen?gx_saurav said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
You were the one hating Visa's tree view nevigation saying the icons are so small, 16X16....but when Apple did it in Pathbar, all hail Apple . It still doesn't shows the current address of where u r in pathbar when u click on the bar
Eye opener for you arya, Vista's address bar lets u copy the apth u r at right now
Mac OS X's pathbar can' do this & it won't show u the address of where u r right now so that later on u can copy & paste this address somewhere if required like terminal
Hey, if address bar is not required then why is apple givign it ?

All said and done, I do accept that they lifted this feature straight off Windows and applied a bit of the Apple polish to it. You may gloat if you wish to; the opportunities are rare anyway. I won't spoil it for you.
To Mac users, there is this nifty little utility I found that lets you export your Address Book entries to your Gmail contacts. It is called Address Book to CSV Exporter.
That's because spring loaded folders are still there. And the target zones of the icons in Leopard's path bar are still significantly larger than Vista's tiny icons in the tree view.gx_saurav said:
