Mine said prepared for shipment, but it's been like 14 hours and it's still not being shipped :(!

Just because its prepared doesn't mean its going to ship right away. I'm prepared for winter, but I'm not wearing my winter jacket now or shoveling snow. Have patience, just means your order is ready to go, and likely will be one of the first come Friday.

I know... sorry for my english. I meant, it's prepared for shipment, but it's only standing in a box beside a truck far from here or something like that.

So, we are supposed to get them the next day or something? This is probably in here somewhere, but am I correct in thinking that leopard will preform better than Tiger because it is 64-bit all the way through? I am contemplating upgrading to 2 gigs or RAM but I thought that it is supposed to be even faster.

From Gruber:

Another thing to keep in mind is that the GM version of 10.5.0 definitely contains at least some significant differences from the last version seeded via ADC to developers. Anyone taking screenshots of the Dock on the side of the screen, for example, is going to have to retake them after installing the public release.

Hello.

Hello.

So, the behavior of the Dock on the side has been changed? This is good news. Maybe people who prefer the Dock on the side by myself will still have control over how Stacks are displayed.

And maybe the hideous Aqua scroll bars will finally be replaced, too.

In the guided tour, they are not replaced. I don't know if they wanted to hide it for now and change the tour video on Friday, but I doubt the scrollbars will change, unfortunately.

But hey, a scrollbar is a scrollbar. It's not the end of the world.

You can bet that tour was made probably a month before.

And maybe the hideous Aqua scroll bars will finally be replaced, too.

Wanna put some money on it? :p

Watching the Guided Tour only made me want Leopard even more. I can't wait until Friday when I'll be at the Apple Store nearby at 6:00.

I wonder if it'll be crowded?... It's not like it's the iPhone launch, but still...

That's what I was wondering, too. I remember the lines for the iPhone launch, and I hope it's going to be nowhere near that! I really want a shirt :laugh:

You'll only see an increase in performance if you have a 64-bit Mac and run 64-bit applications. Although you might see slight system performance increases (in fact Leopard is apparently faster than Tiger on the same system).

Like every piece of software now a days online it is bound to be leaked sooner or later. I already ordered my copy, but am curious if it has been leaked or not?

The beta builds have been leaked but the GM build has not since Apple has not given it out yet.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
