I like that new Spotlight window. They need to update the computer icon to look like the current iMac.

They need to update every single system icon.

It makes sense for Apple to include screen sharing as a part of the OS instead of iChat only. As for the Spotlight window, it's big, really really big... But it's nice you can manage and keep Smart Folders in it. (Y)

Btw, is it just me or are the Back/Forward glyphs located closer together in the Finder?

I'm still hoping they're going to revamp the Finder.

Whoahhhh screen sharing? Wait... I didn't see this anywhere in Tiger (not that I've searched) and since it's version 1.0... is it new?

Apparantly. He did say he was posting screens of the new Leopard build that was seeded.

I'm on the fence right now of whether to get Leopard on initial release, wait for a couple months of reviews and experiences, or just wait for .1 release. This is also my first Mac upgrade and right now I have Tiger pretty much set to my needs. Then again, I graduate from college in May so I just might have to get it sooner rather than later to use the education discount :)

It looks like a new front end to Apple Remote Desktop (which was available in Tiger already).

Hey, they are closer. Probably just a bug.

They're closer together in the Finder in Mac OS X Tiger, too. Just compare either System Preferences or Safari to the Finder.

Tiger has a few GUI glitches that weren't in Panther (good ole Panther).

But those arrows will be damn-near overlapping each other in 10.6.

They're not that close in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

LEDS use less power. I've been studying electricity last year and we've played with LEDS. I've already said that in another thread, they don't consume anything. For a normal LED it's 0.015A, I can't imagine for a pixel. I don't know why people still contest that fact lol

Share and share alike

Remote control takes on a whole new meaning with iChat in Leopard. Thanks to iChat Screen Sharing, you and your buddy can observe and control a single desktop via iChat, making it a cinch to collaborate with colleagues, browse the Web with a friend, or pick the perfect plane seats with your spouse. Share your own desktop or share your buddy?s ? you both have complete control at all times. And when you start a Screen Sharing session, iChat automatically initiates an audio chat so you can talk things through while you?re atiChat TheatereShow off (without showing up)p)

Why wait for a darkened room and a projector to present vacation photos or Keynote slides? With Leopard, you can do it all remotely, from the comfort of iChat. Use new iChat Theater to present photos from iPhoto, slides from Keynote, or content from any iChat-enabled application with any iChat or AOL AIM buddy. And do it in style ? full-screen, accompanied by a video feed of you playing host. iChat?s virtual presentation room makes a big impact.

.015A times 3 V = .045W = hardly any power usage.

Multiply that by 1310720 pixels for a 1280 by 1024 screen though and it becomes almost 60000 watts.

Obviously, the LEDs in an LED monitor must have considerably lower power usage than even a regular LED.

You don't seriously think you'd need one LED per pixel to provide a backlight to an LCD panel, do you? You wouldn't even need half of that.

I also think it's one LED per pixel if you want to have different colors for each pixel... how could it be any different? (Oh wait, maybe I don't actually understand the concept of LED displays)

When I said 15mA, it was for a big LED. If you have a LED the size of a pixel, it's far from 15mA, it's going in the nanos...

Correction : After remembering the lab, after 15 mA, the LED broke, we had to put less than 15mA.

Helpful link in french : http://domsweb.org/ecolo/led-del.php Big bulb lights could consume less than 2W with LEDs.

Right. The LEDs aren't used to make every pixel of the display. It's just a set of LEDs to light up the LCD screen from behind, instead of the fluorescent tubes used now. It may take a few hundred to get a good even backlight, but not the thousands that you guys are talking about.
