I've heard the same. I like "Black Ice." Sounds cool.
Edit: Yay 400th Leopard post!

Leopard will run on 256Mb, but it ain't pretty. Leopard runs good right now on a 867MHz G4 with 640Mb of RAM.

Can I say another prayer for linear mouse acceleration instead of logarithmic?

Illuminous... I think the new Apple teaser image does have a very strong connection with this rumor. The image clearly depicts light, or illumination in some manner or form. Im calling a possibility that 'Illuminous' could be a reality.

Eh, the idea of light being connected with some knowledge or revelation is a common one. I'm sticking to my call of BS on Apple using a name as fugly as "Illuminous." (This reminds me of when J.K. Rowling heard the rumor that she was going to name a book Harry Potter and the Pillar of Storgé — she said she was offended that anyone believed it.)

Huh? How about those wonderful names like iCal and .Mac?
And will they still call it "Mail" after it morphs into an email, RSS, to-do, and note-keeper mega-app?
Mom: Honey, how do I read my news feeds?
Dad: Uh, just go to Mail and click RSS.
Mom: That's not very intuitive. What next? Click the Start menu to shut down the computer?

No Mom would use words that complex when dealing with a computer. That third line would more likely go like this:
Mom: I don't get it! It's too complicated!!

I imagine Time Machine will have the ability to be turned off or be customized in some way so that it doesnt take up space your hard drive right?

Well isn't it possible that it won't be the final name? That may be an internal codename for it, and may change.
Or maybe not...maybe it'll stay "Illuminous".
****, Nintendo DID release a game system called the "Wii"
iPod...what the hell did that sound like to everyone when that came out? LIke ****, that's what. Now it's an icon. catch my drift?

Time Machine has to have a disk dedicated to it, and you can choose which one it is, yes.

It's not like RAID1. Time Machine is a backup solution and RAID1 isn't. A RAID1 protects against hardware failure of one of the drives and allows to continue using the machine.

why not, it backs up information on another hard drive right? Im only talking from a slight comparison point of view. Data mirroring is duplicating right? At least I thought it was but I could be wrong, I never worked with Raid-1 only Raid-0.

Ok this is really simple. Say it over and over... and if you still don't get it just believe it.
RAID IS NOT A BACKUP
If you delete or modify a file off a RAID it's gone or changed, you just deleted or changed it! If you had that file BACKED UP you could RESTORE it. RAID is fault protection. It will not protect against accidental file modification, deletion or file corruption.
Also, RAID-0 is not really a RAID because by name RAID is REDUNDANT, RAID-0 is not. We just still call it RAID for some reason...
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
Anyone who says the "I" is for inexpensive Disks is a freeken tard too. Just think about it for a sec and you'll see how stupid that is. "what if I had a Redundant Array of Expensive Disks" what the hell is an "inexpensive" disk any freeken way.. and when does an insxpensive disk become an "expensive one" the logic is just failed. It stands for Independent.. sheesh!
Now say it again RAID is not backup!

No, a RAID1 is not a backup.
If you accidentally delete a file, it's gone. If an app corrupts a file, it's gone. With Time Machine, you can still access your backups.

I hope Time Machine will allow you to automatically mount network volumes for backing up.

ok, point taken. I apologize for not being as informed as you when it comes to raid, but there really is no need to belittle people....we are not arguing the meaning of life here, and im not one of those people who insist on being right even when corrected. thank you.

Uh, expensive disks are server-class SCSI disks, specialized arrays of disks (i.e. can't just take a bunch of normal disks and make an array), or other more exotic things that were in use back when the acronym was made. RAID can mean either independent or inexpensive with complete validity. Watch who you're calling 'tard' until you've learned a bit more.
That said, the hardware controllers required for RAID5 to not suck really mean that RAID is no longer inexpensive. RAIDZ brings it back to its original concept a bit more.

So who thinks the iphone animated interface is a hint of 10.5 with core animations.
I like the black dock also.

Ooh, possibly. As long as they keep the animations subtle, I'd be a very happy camper. Black = teh sexy... *drools at the prospect of seeing a black themed OS X on a black MacBook*

Think about this... Remember that patent for the accelerometer in the mighty mouse apple just filed?
What could that be for? Gesture based interface? Instead of scrolling through pics how about fick your wrist left and right like the iPhone handles photos.
Hmmm

I think it would be great as items are wider spaced, have the names permanently and each end of the dock can have arrows to indicate "more" like the dashboard dock does now.
If an app on the next screen needs your attention it can flash the arrow.

It looks sexy that's for sure. But it's huge and it can't be made much smaller either if you want to be able to read the text. The text is a problem anyway - what happens when stuff has long names? And then it works purely for horizontal dock alignment. It won't cater to people who prefer a vertical dock (like myself).

Either way I think apple should make it so the dock is always taking up the whole width of your screen and you can't put windows or icons behind it.

I'd rather Apple replaced the Dock with a mini-Dock on the right-side of the menu-bar, holding only folders, minimized windows, and running applications. The Spotlight menu would then handle launching, and the "menulings" changed into either running apps (remember Docklings?) or Widgets.
While I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony.

My girlfriends brother works as a cable technician and went to install an upgraded internet system at a developers house today, and the guy was working on leopard. He told him (James) that it would be released in June. He also got to see how the OS supports up to 16 different desktops, sorta like Linux does. He also said that it is a glossy black interface. Im not trying to spread rumors, im just letting you guys know what i just found out. For reference, he (james) isnt too familiar with apple products, he owns a zune, lol, so for him to come and tell me alot about Leopard is something good, since he HAD to get his info from some source.

I'm surprised we haven't seen more on Time Machine. That's one feature that really interests me. However, I suspect I'd want something like a 750 GB drive to backup my 300+ GB of stuff.

The developer wouldn't necessarily actually know when Leopard is being released. Maybe he was thinking it'd be released around WWDC, and WWDC is in June.
I might have guessed it might be around April or May.

Nah, you can even guess the build number that's going gold.
If it's too buggy, engineers will know it's not ready yet.

it would be cool if apple would let us customize the dock loads.. and have 100s of options, like spacing, transparency, other stuff, etc.
