Apple has put up a page for Snow Leopard:

Hot. Especially the OpenCL, multi core efficiency, and Quicktime X parts.

Snow Leopard dramatically reduces the footprint of Mac OS X, making it even more efficient for users, and giving them back valuable hard drive space for their music and photos.

Time for me to get a Mac (Y)

I never watched that motion picture.

Anyways, Sneaux Leopard seems awesome. I hope it's free. I would totally flip if it was, OMG.

I will make this prediction that it won't be free due to the circumstances of apple.

During the Puma era in transition to Cheetah. Apple wasn't that popular at all w/ OS X and XP was favored by the majority @ the time. The tables have turned indeed though, OS X is craved by many and that demand will cause Apple to charge for it. But I will say that Apple may not charge the regular $129 for current Leopard owners, maybe half price?

Who knows.

well... im no developer really but i always enjoy the news at wwdcs since im really interested in. however, i dont really get that snow-leopard-stuff. what is it supposed to be? is it an .X or an .x.X release? and does the consumer version sport ZFS?

thanks in advance! =)

Snow Leopard is 10.6

New cat name = New version of OS X

O2 has published their tariffs:

The 16 iphone will cost 159 pounds with a 30/35 pound contract, 59 with a 45 pound contract, and free with a 75 pound contract

18 month minimum length, unlimited data on all

Snow Leopard is 10.6

New cat name = New version of OS X

well yea, usually thats right and i know that but i would say its more like a service pack surpreme, maybe.

i mean its called leopard still, in this early stage they are only talking about some minor yet quite big changes but nothing that really would justify a whole new .X release. but then again too much for just another .x.X release...

Snow Leopard definately will be a nice update, worth a price even maybe, just because of these added features.

I hope they will scrap the current QuickTime UI and design a brand new one, because I'm sorry to say that, but Media Player on Windows handles videos much much better.

And why QuickTime X? X is cool, but the version will be 8, so I'm guessing they will change it completely...

And Safari, safari... well, they can add all the work they did in Webkit already, and new features will be welcome for sure in Safari. The Browser is great and all, but there's no features. Except that "search on this page" feature that actually darkens the whole page and highlights the occurences of what you're looking for. That was the most brilliant thing ever they could do with search, but other than that... nothing :p

Since the new iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G is out, I've been meaning to ask a question that has had me wondering. With the new iPhone 2.0 software now enables you to open Word, Powerpoint and Excel, would it be possible to hook up the iPhone to a projector and show it there? The reason I'm asking is that my father would like to use the iPhone, if it is possible, for that instead of bringing his Mac Mini to work.

    • NVIDIA announces 35 new AI HPC supercomputers across Europe by Fiza Ali NVIDIA has announced that 35 AI high-performance computing (HPC) supercomputers are planned to open throughout Europe this year. This marks what the company describes as the largest single-year expansion of AI infrastructure in the history of the continent. These new systems, unveiled at ISC High Performance 2026, will be placed at a number of national supercomputing centres, AI factories, and research institutes to provide advanced computing resources to more than three million researchers. Describing AI, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, "AI is the new instrument of science, and Europe is building the infrastructure to put it in the hands of millions of researchers." Built on NVIDIA's Blackwell and Hopper architectures, the new systems will support research in climate science, healthcare, clean energy, quantum computing, and other scientific fields. Among the major projects are the Barcelona Supercomputing Center's MareNostrum 5 AI upgrade, BavariaAI's Blue Swan platform in Germany, Italy's IT4LIA AI factory, Germany's HammerHAI project, and Sweden's Mimer AI Factory. The Barcelona Supercomputing Center plans to expand MareNostrum 5 with NVIDIA GB300 NVL72 and GB200 NVL4 systems. In total, the BSC expects to deliver up to 20 exaflops of AI training performance and 33 exaflops of AI inference performance. This increased computational capability will support research efforts related to climate modelling, biotechnology, energy systems, etc. Furthermore, as part of the IT4LIA project, more than 8,000 GPUs, each based on NVIDIA’s GB200 NVL4 architecture, will be used in Italy. This represents one of the largest AI factory initiatives announced to date. Additionally, the Blue Swan platform from BavariaAI will include about 1,000 GPUs to help develop multimodal AI models for use in the medical field, robotics, and various areas of scientific research. NVIDIA also emphasized in the announcement how rapidly growth of accelerated computing usage is taking place within both energy and climate-related research. The company said Siemens Energy uses NVIDIA-powered technologies to significantly accelerate the process of designing and simulating hydrogen-capable gas turbines. Using those same acceleration technologies, Siemens was able to reduce simulation time by up to 77 percent. The company also highlighted several quantum computing initiatives across Europe. CINECA, EuroHPC, and Pasqal are integrating a quantum processing unit into Italy's CINECA supercomputing centre using NVIDIA's CUDA-Q platform. Meanwhile, researchers at Germany's Julich Supercomputing Centre recently simulated a universal 50-qubit quantum computer on the JUPITER supercomputer. The announcement demonstrates Europe's continued commitment to building out its infrastructure supporting AI and supercomputing as governments, research organizations, and technology companies compete to build out their respective computing capacities and secure their positions in advanced scientific research.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
