Well, it seems to run more stable than the previous betas we've got our hands on. Except for the fact that System Preferences keeps crashing all the time, so I can't tell you if it's really possible to disable the Menu bar's transparency. I have the feeling something went wrong during installation or something. :/

Is it just me, or do Neo's screenies suggest Apple is taking cues from Cocoatech's Path Finder? I see the item count below the folders . . . this isn't an option in Tiger's finder, is it? If it is, I've never noticed.

:rofl: That's definitely been there since before I can remember... Before Tiger IIRC. I've been using for almost as long as I've had my iBook.

LTD is just very into Pathfinder at the moment. So stuff he thinks is new to the Finder is automatically being associated with Pathfinder, he can't help it really. :p :laugh:

j/k ;)

I can confirm that the Transparency on the Menu Bar can be turned off in the syspref. Your install must have gone wrong or Leopard doesn't like the Mac you installed it on, system preferences working okay-ish on a MacBook Pro.

It has to do with the Install DVD, not the build or Mac itself. iCal, Mail and Safari kept crashing as well.

Man, in all my years of Windows I never had a moment where I was full of anticipation for the next version of Windows. Having had my MacBook only 4 months, I'm completely overtaken with Leopard. Tiger is just such a great, solid OS to work with, imagining it can get even better is amazing.

Same story on Mac OS X. But nothing beats it when Apple implements a build-in version.

As far as I'm concerned Dashboard sucks compared to Konfab/Yahoo Widgets.

Something the Windows-fanboys can feel upset over:

Mac OS X Leopard Generic PC icon

:laugh:

Who says Windows 98 is dead.

I don't think Neo broke an NDA. As far as I know you don't need to sign one to download BitTorrent files :p

Which might be the case if Leopard (well, this version at least) had shown up on a torrent site yet, but AFAIK it hasn't.

Who said anything about torrent sites? But WinMacLin is right. I'm not posting screen shots either of Mac OS X Leopard. Apple became completely hysterical during the Mac OS X Tiger betas sending cease and desist orders to many sites that hosted them.

We'll see how things turn out this time. So far all the screen shots I posted here are ones taken from Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger. I have no idea how my folder icons changed so suddenly! :laugh:

If you want to use widgets on your Desktop yes. But beyond that no.

Well my thoughts on the UI i think it has been peaced together at seperate stages because to me it doesnt all flow together.

I like it all apart from the menubar it just sticks out like a lot lol i dunno it just doesnt appeal to me at all. Also the coverflow thing i dont think i would use that much actually. I like the new dock it looks great spaces and stacks are great idea its like having a folder on yoru dock but not actually having a folder as such :p

Oddly enough, a "WWDC_LEOPARD_BETA" has recently seen a surge in popularity on The Pirate Bay, although it's the build from the 2006 WWDC. :pinch:

That's because a bunch of newbies that have bought a Mac in the last year don't know that there was a beta released last year. I've looked at every torrent site I have access to and haven't seen it. Not on the newsgroups either, which tells me that it hasn't leaked yet.

Yea, I wouldn't mind those icons. I like how they're simple & unobtrusive.

Are they normal mac icons? (i.e. they're not vector icons are they?).

Nope they're normal .icns files. The only new thing is that they hold two new sizes: 256x256 Pixels and 512x512 pixels. Unfortunately there's no way to view those two on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, not even with Preview. :/

    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
    • Wake me up when this comes to PC. Until then... zzzzzzzz....
    • I was expecting the end of the world to happen before this game or elder scroll 6 to come out.
    • OpenAI and Broadcom unveil Jalapeño, a new AI chip built for LLM inference by Pradeep Viswanathan Image by OpenAI Thanks to the exponential growth of ChatGPT and other LLM-based applications, NVIDIA has grown from a $200 billion company into the first public company to reach a $5 trillion market cap. Even though hyperscalers such as Google and Amazon have their own mature AI accelerators, NVIDIA still dominates the AI infrastructure market with multiple generations of GPUs. Microsoft, OpenAI, and Meta remain among NVIDIA’s largest customers, while Google and Amazon continue to be significant NVIDIA customers as they serve AI workloads for customers on their cloud platforms. Today, OpenAI and Broadcom announced Jalapeño, OpenAI’s first custom “Intelligence Processor” designed specifically for large language model inference. The new chip is the first product from a multi-generation compute platform being developed by OpenAI. OpenAI highlighted that Jalapeño was built from the ground up for current and future LLM workloads, rather than being a general-purpose accelerator adapted for AI. Despite heavy competition from Gemini, Claude, Copilot, and others, ChatGPT remains the most used AI platform in the world. OpenAI mentioned that it leveraged its knowledge of how its models and products run at scale, including ChatGPT, Codex, the API, and future agentic AI systems, to design this new chipset. Its chip architecture reduces data movement while balancing compute, memory, and networking resources. Jalapeño will be deployed in production systems starting in late 2026; however, engineering samples are already running machine learning workloads in OpenAI’s labs at production target frequency and power. According to its internal testing, OpenAI claims this chip can deliver “substantially better” performance per watt, and a detailed technical report is expected in the coming months. While OpenAI designed the chip, Broadcom handled silicon implementation and networking technologies, including Tomahawk networking silicon, and Celestica is assisting with board, rack, and system-level integration. OpenAI pointed out that Jalapeño went from initial design to manufacturing tape-out in just nine months, which it claims is the fastest ASIC development cycle achieved for a high-performance advanced semiconductor. The company attributed the speed of development to its own LLMs, which were used during the chip design and optimization process. Broadcom CEO Hock Tan stated that the company's plan is to deploy the Jalapeño platform at a gigawatt scale with Microsoft and other partners starting in 2026. With Jalapeño, OpenAI joins Google, Microsoft, and Amazon to become a full-stack AI player. The company already develops models and products, and is now moving deeper into infrastructure, including chips, kernels, networking, scheduling, and deployment systems.
    • I'm aware. That information should have been included in the article, making it more complete and information.
