Nothing spectacular, but this wallpaper is awesome and Leopard's new UI adapts to nicely to it :)

Wow, this SS is amazing...congrats! Btw, where can I find those Aduim/iChat colored status bubbles? They look so coo and I'd like to use them please.

Thank you! :)

mac noobie ? here... I have searched and can't find any info on how to name and have the used/free drive space info show on each drive icon on the desktop. Plus I have also seen peoples iphone and ipod with the same info on the desktop to when they are mounted like a DVD drive does when you insert a DVD. I have a iphone and a ipod that don't even show up on my desktop. So could someone please explain to me how this is done?

Also how do you show info on different activities that is running on the macs task bar up by the clock such as cpu,net speed, memory... ect.

How boring is this ? --> My desktop icons are....Macintosh HD, Time Machine Backups, and Untitled ( Yes I did manage to do a dual boot with Windows, but haven't been there for days...lol ) Here is some screen shots to show what I'm talking about.

Drive icons: Right Click > Get Info. Then you can change the name under "Name & Extension".

For the menubar thing you'll want iStat menus.

Thank you so much, I did install iStat menus and that is exactly what I wanted... I was also able to change the name of the drive icons but how do I show the info on the drives as seen in the screen shot below? Also do you know how to show the iphone and ipod icons on the desktop when they are connected ?

Drive info: Right Click on Desktop > Show View Options > Show item info

But as for the last thing, I'm not sure. Mine shows external devices by default.

EDIT: heh, just found the answer by accident. Open up Finder and go Finder > Preferences. Under the General tab you can select which devices appear on the desktop.

    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.

    • Qwen 3.6 is better value per dollar, and you can run it locally for free.
