Awesome! This is just like Windows 7... Tons of minor, but very useful, system-wide improvements.

Could you do me a huge favor and demo the four new fonts, by posting in TextEdit or something? I'm particularly interested in Menlo, the new fixed-width font that sounds like a Monaco replacement.

Off Topic: Anyone else still annoyed by the ugly-as-sin Aqua scroll bars?

@giga : Dude, this is a nice overview of some features of Snow Leopard, thanks man!!!

Do you think the developer preview so far is usable as a main OS, or if it still has a lot of crashes, bugs, strangenesses?

I'm really happy about these minor tweaks, they've touched pretty much everything I wanted. Now, if only Grapher could be more complete and give the results of integrals and equations, a little bit like Maple, I would be happy for university :)

And if they could include a service called "equation" that could write an equation, grapher style, in Pages, Word, RTF if possible, etc. Right now I have to do a copy-paste from Grapher, I think there could be a more appropriate solution. Also, when I did a mistake, I have to type the whole thing again in Grapher and re-copy it. Not too good :-\

I believe they really want to change the Aqua buttons, they seem to be testing new themes. But it may be wrong, because they've tested new themes in iTunes with the scrollbars, Safari with tabs and the loading button, iMovie with the whole interface, Garageband with the whole interface, and a lot of Pro apps...

Menlo VS Monaco debate : the 0 looks different? :p

Did anyone notice how the sliders in Snow Leopard are drawn in a different style than the rest of Aqua:

Traffic lights are also different. 10.6 on the bottom.

It's pretty stable and I haven't encountered many bugs. Usable as a main OS? Probably not--several of my applications don't work with it (crash on startup).

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
