but what else could it be? really leopard? at lest the date of shipping? doubt it... we will see.

Leopard announcement and ship date confirmed. Plus pre-ordering from the Stores. Maybe some MB and Mac mini announcements too.

I'm ordering Leopard at this moment :D

115 CAD with Education rebate. A little more expensive than Tiger with the same rebate... but it's still 12%.

Edit : What happened to the anti-phishing filter on Safari? It seemed to work well in older builds... and it's not listed as a new feature now...

good to see it coming along, if only could give it a whirl myself. can't say i'm a fan of the bending text of the dock but that's about only gripe i'd have with it at all if any that i've seen from screen shots.

i just bought a MBP back in august and this might be a n00b question. but do you think when I install Leopard I need to do a clean install and delete everything I currently have or do you think it's possible where it just gets upgraded? cuz I really have alot of stuff on my MBP and dont have a spare drive to store all these things. thanks.

Ah, that infamous pre-Apple-release excitement is starting to set in. :D

Based on what I've seen on Apple's site, my initial impressions of Leopard are:

  • Strange that Address Book can synchronise with Yahoo but not Google (Gmail)
  • Automator finally seems to have some decent purpose - a lack of developer support really crippled it in Tiger
  • It's a real shame Apple weren't able to implement full NTFS support for Boot Camp
  • I'm disappointed that Dashboard is more or less the same
  • I'm still not a fan of the new UI - it's an improvement, but seems too much like Aqua 1.5
  • Stacks are going to relieve me of a great deal of claustrophobia-related stress
  • Japanese-English support in Dictionary is neat
  • I really like the new additions in DVD Player
  • They finally FFTF!!
  • Front Row has (yet another) new icon
  • Lack of YouTube support in Front Row seems odd
  • I'm so happy Apple updated Front Row's overweight UI
  • Mail 3 is a great update but I still don't see why it needs RSS
  • Preview has gained some basic editing functionality... nice!
  • I hope the changes to Leopard's printing features make it easier to connect to my Vista-shared printer
  • What happened to Mail and Safari's anti-phishing features?!
  • Spaces seems more and more practical and useful each time I think about it
  • TextEdit has gained autosave... why hasn't Pages?!

Oh, and Apple hire brilliant web designers.

Overall, I'm really impressed. :) Too bad I'm broke.

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Fraud OS 11 · Posted

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
