Mac OS X Leopard shots aplenty leak to the interwebs

If you haven't yet managed to lay your hands on an illicit download of the developer version of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, which was handed out at WWDC earlier this month, take solace in the myriad of screenshots being leaked to the internet by the lucky ones. Most of the enhancements we've spotted so far have been fairly minor -- Steve Jobs saved the big surprises for his keynote or for when they're closer to launch -- but expected upgrades like Automator 2.0, expanded options for popular programs and fun little Finder tweaks are good signs of things to come.

[Thanks, Mark J.]

Does anyone (besides the mac or windows fanatics) really care about OS screenshots?

a 20MB Windows partition? seems a bit on the small side.

I was only able to successfully boot Leopard once. I'm pretty sure that it's got something to do with the fact that I use SoftRAID drivers.

My friend knows how to download it. I forgot the details but it runs alright.

How exactly do you download it, I tried the newzbis thing or whatever in the suggestion from the other article, but that seemed to charge.

Can someone just post a torrent?

Ok, I swear I'm not a grammar freak or anything. But every couple days an editor at engadget misuses "myriad." Like "myriad of screenshots," when the expression is "myriad screenshots." I make mistakes like that all time time (my last sentence was a fragment (and I'm nesting parentheses)), but I'm concerned you guys should be winning Pulitzers and these copy mistakes shouldn't hold ya back.

C.C.,

Ol' Webster seems to differ - http://tinyurl.com/nu4py

The noun form is apparently perfectly cromulent. |grin|

Ok, I'm not being an ass or anything. But I just looked up myriad, here's the definition.

myriad
noun [C] LITERARY
a very large number of something:
a myriad of choices
And now myriads of bars and hotels are opening up along the coast.

Looks like "myriad of screenshots" is correct.

Just to let you know, there is automator 2.0 already in the leaked version. I have it open right now.

Ha! I am definitely not going to say that my grammar is stellar. If we're going to talk grammar, then need I mention that nearly every English-speaking person has AOL syndrome? "You've got mail" expands into you have got mail, since when is that right? Because of that, we now have people saying "it's got..." or "he's got..." even though those expand into "it is got" and "he is got". That drives me much more crazy than someone overusing (or misusing) the word "myraid".

What about natively running Win PC games - they barely use Windows anyway, and then I would have something useful to do with the Time Machine (ie. after 6 months of playing a new PC game I could then Time Machine back 6 months to remind myself how long I normally wait for the Mac port!)

"Because of that, we now have people saying "it's got..." or "he's got..." even though those expand into "it is got" and "he is got"."

uh... they expand into "it has got" and "he has got"

it's not really correct - the "got" is technically redundant, like it usually is, but it's pretty much accepted english.

@andrew harrison

Actually, you have been conditioned by slang-speaking people to believe that "it's" is a contraction of IT and HAS, when in reality the word "it's" is a contraction of IT and IS.

You've got to be kidding me.

Ummm... "He's got mail" equals "He is got mail". It's not "He has got mail". And for the record- it's incorrect regardless of whether or not it it's "is got" or "has got". The correct sentence should be "He has mail".

Who teached you's guys how to spoke?

[(Unverified) Posted Aug 22nd 2006 12:14AM]

Let me correct that- I meant "you have mail". And since we're talking about grammar- yes, I noticed the redundant "it".

Time machine is such a gimmick. Apple acts like it's sooooo innovative bragging they're way ahead of microsoft for including this backup utility with the OS. Can you immagine what the public reaction would be if microsoft did this? Apple and Linux losers everywhere would be screaming ANTI-TRUST! M$ IS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING TO SYMANTEC THAT THEY DID TO NETSCAPE!! FUCK M$/GATE$!!!

Well, Apple gets (or is that 'get is') its share of grief...lest we forget Sherlock 2, and Dashboard.

Time Machine's implementation is different...novel even. While I like it well enough, I'll disable it on my slow G4 933.
