Stradlater · Nov 10, 2006, 12:46 PM

100th reply, maybe, but 100th "post"? No.

I thought you refered to your own postcount, and meant 1000th. Ah well...

I thought you referred to the fact that it was the 101st post in the thread, not the 100th. Ah well...

Oisín · Nov 10, 2006, 03:11 PM

I just didn’t have a clue what he was on about, since no one seemed to have had their hundredth post in this thread (thought perhaps he meant Mitchell’s 10,000th post (though that was a while ago), and his post wasn’t the first one on the third page, either, but somewhere on the middle of the third page. He confused me, the wicked man. Er, boy.

meh, forget it.

Meh, tried 9A303, finder is still the same, a few lil things... search that build in google and you will see everyone agrees... No "Cool Leopard Stuff" unless it is some secret-ultra-cool build.

Stradlater · Nov 13, 2006, 03:15 PM

Well, if the OP works for Adobe, that may be the case.

I got a xbox mod page.

Same here—did you check to make sure They weren’t watching before you clicked the link, zerostar?

zerostar · Nov 13, 2006, 05:00 PM

The HD Drive? No idea sorry....

Did you scroll down and see the part about the HD drive in OS X?

imitchellg5 · Nov 13, 2006, 09:46 PM

Leopard is getting very nice. I think Apple will be done with it before Spring 2007. ( I just got it through ADC yay!) I think it is almost as good as 10.4.0 was, just a bit more buggy. You can still tell that it is unfinished though, but it isn't far behind.

Eh, that's just a little too "My inside source informs me that 4K78 contains secret code that will transform it from a buggy beta build to the release version of the OS if it's run after the release date" for me. OK, maybe not quite that crazy, but still a little too conspiracy-theory for my taste.

Dude, everyone knows that there were two versions of 4K78.

OK guys, real screenshots of this new build:
World of Apple - Exclusive: New Leopard Build in Images

Art Vandelay · Nov 15, 2006, 01:41 AM

Hardly exclusive considering a Vista forum had those pics four days ago.

New Leopard Build Sighted: 9A303 - AeroXperience

AppleInsider says their stories are exclusive too many times when in fact they're just posting an Apple press release.

Dark Helmet · Nov 15, 2006, 01:46 AM

It's all fine and good but where is the cool new UI!?

TETENAL · Nov 15, 2006, 01:49 AM

That's obviously not the build p_c got. It's still the Tiger UI and there is no sight of the new Finder.

any reason why resindbuttons.jpg are like 3-5x bigger yet they don't look pixelated? resolution independance finally?

on second glance, the window resize handle is the only pixelated part of the pic...

Yeah, that's why it's called res(olution)ind(ependent)buttons.jpg.

well, duh...

OS X basically WAS NeXT with some ideas bolted on from OS 8-9 before it got Aqua.

Basically doesn't count, OS X isn't NeXT.

I was making a simple observation that OS X has many of NeXTs traits.

Eh, that's true in the same way that I'm not the same person I was when I was 10. In a very real way, though, OS X is NeXTstep. Apple didn't buy NeXT for nothing.

OS X is a revamped OS9 with NeXT features built on a quasi-unix platform.

Again i made a simple comment, nothing to read into...

It is actually EXACTLY the opposite.

The "quasi-unix platform" OS X is built upon IS NeXT.

kmkkid · Nov 15, 2006, 12:15 PM

Really? Who cares? I said OS X is a lot like NeXT and you guys are making it an argument. Geez.

I know OS X was in part an evolution of NeXT, I'm not stupid.

Huh? NeXTstep was the foundation of OS X. They didn't take OS 9, magically convert it to a unix-based platform, and then tack NeXTstep features onto it.

Stradlater · Nov 15, 2006, 12:17 PM

Built-in Little Snitch?

kmkkid · Nov 15, 2006, 12:18 PM

For the love of god. I know this. I just didn't say it right in my above post.

kmkkid · Nov 15, 2006, 12:19 PM

Here's what i should have said:

My the finder still looks a lot like NeXTs file browser.

Better?

Too late. Bow down before all of us and beg for mercy.

No, OS X is NeXT with OS 9 features.

Nope. Little Snitch notes OUTgoing connections.

That firewall appears to only deal with INcoming connections.

Big Mac · Nov 15, 2006, 02:51 PM

Maybe what we're seeing are the great new features, and production_coordinator was a bit too enthusiastic about it.
