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.

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
