- jmreid, on 11/02/2007, -1/+20I think you're missing the point of Digg. It takes people digging things for them to become popular. Hence, if people like something, it gets more diggs.
Here's an example. If I submit a story on how much johndoe555 is a douchebag, and 3500 people agree with me and digg it, it becomes a popular story. You might say "Who gives a flying *****?!", but I could argue that at least 3500 people do give a flying *****. - macpro2006, on 11/02/2007, -8/+25i think leopard has opened many doors to third-party apps
- knugen, on 11/02/2007, -1/+16Which is why they provide developers with Cocoa, Objective C 2.0, Core Animation/Data/Image, Xcode, Developer docs, Interface Builder, Dashcode for free.
Don't mix the Macs with the iPhone. - jmreid, on 11/02/2007, -2/+14So leave. It's simple. Start yourself a site called johndoe555likesthisstuff.com and have fun.
Or... remove Apple from your topics and you won't see them.
Here's how to do that:
1. Go to http://digg.com/settings/topics
2. UNCHECK the topics you don't want to see. For example I unchecked Sports, because I didn't want to get my sports into from Digg. Now I don't.
3. Shut your trap and don't seek out Apple stories to comment ***** in.
Win, win, win. - falafelkiosken, on 11/02/2007, -1/+10Has someone tried an application using CoreAnimation? I thought Apple would include a demo or something, but I haven't seen anything yet…
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -1/+10The door was always open, and the quality of third party apps on OS X is unbelievably good. That was probably the biggest surprise for this Mac switcher. And that was back in 2005.
Here's the huge list of new toys developers have at their disposal:

- Boondoggle, on 11/02/2007, -2/+10Clearly you don't know Apple. Supported dev. tools on the Macintosh does not equal iPhone hacks.
- Goobernutz, on 11/01/2007, -0/+8Your dream app is a cookbook?!
- booc0mtaco, on 11/02/2007, -1/+8Yep, a gated community people these days are clamoring to get into. :)
Apple cares about how their products work. They also care about what 3rd parties can do for their own products. Unless they went through the effort of enabling access to their Core___ technology in java, you'd have two groups of applications; those that look and behave in a fancy way, and those that do not.
So what if existing dev.s choose not to port over to OS X via Cocoa, et al. from Java. As a user, I don't care what it is made in, as long as I can do what I want to do. And, as long as there are great application developers out there, willing and ready to dive into Obj-c for the sake of beauty or whatever, users will be happy with good results.
And, quite honestly, I have never used a Java App on any platform that felt... beautiful. Azureus was close, but slow and cumbersome. - rwstevenson, on 11/02/2007, -0/+7The "best of Leopard" will not be the add-ons to follow, the best part of Leopard is the OS itself.
- node3, on 11/01/2007, -0/+7I think "fanboys" has been said by people with no valid argument so often that it has lost all meaning.
- gregfadein, on 11/01/2007, -0/+7You seem to be new here. This site is called "digg." When you like an article, you bookmark, or "digg" it. It's called social bookmarking. Welcome.
- cklol, on 11/01/2007, -1/+7Yeah.. like My Dream App.. if it ever, ever happens.
http://mydreamapp.com. - whistlerpro, on 11/01/2007, -1/+7Didn't invent, brought to market.
- turpenine, on 11/02/2007, -2/+8the os cd comes with xcode on it...
stfu noob. - yabos, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5iPhone/iPod Touch SDK in February.
- yabos, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5Yeah, Apple hates 3rd party developers, what, with their free developer tools shipped with every Mac.
- CraigJ, on 11/01/2007, -0/+5uh, you could just bury the story and move on, you know. No one made you read it or spend time commenting. You know what's worse than a fanboy? An anti-fanboy that needs to tell all the fanboys how lame they are. You related to Flag564?
- Boondoggle, on 11/01/2007, -1/+5you're behind the times, this has been resolved.
- soopafly, on 11/01/2007, -1/+5Always anti-third party?? Really?
- tmalloy, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4@over90000: Your confusing hack with virus. The real definition of hack is just a modification
- DaffyDuck, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4No. Those are Quartz animations. Supposedly stacks and the add new event dialog in iCal use core animations. There are a few other possible uses as well.
- Boondoggle, on 11/01/2007, -0/+4You should try taking your head out of your ass some time.
- Radar3D, on 11/03/2007, -0/+4Steve just wants to serve man.
- DaffyDuck, on 11/02/2007, -0/+3No, it doesn't work that way. If there are no changes in a folder, it makes a hard link to the folder only. If a single file changes in a folder, it makes a copy of that file and hard links to the other files in the folder.
- booc0mtaco, on 11/01/2007, -0/+3Dugg and upmoded for educating and shutting up someone in the same passage so eloquently.
- inactive, on 11/01/2007, -3/+6It's about the new technology in Leopard available to developers. It's not a difficult concept. Here's a list:
http://mattgemmell.com/2007/10/28/get-rid-of-your- ... - barandon0D9, on 11/05/2007, -2/+5oops, someone didn't read the article....
- Niightwitch, on 11/01/2007, -0/+3I don't like his use of the word "brouhaha".
- ismith, on 11/01/2007, -0/+3That's not the point. The point was that Apple has developed something totally new (core animation, and other stuff) that they're opening up completely for developers to use in their apps. Basically, Apple did a ***** of work for their own apps and is giving it away to developers to use.
- ismith, on 11/01/2007, -4/+6I pretty much bought Leopard just for the 3rd party apps... those being Textmate 2, Delicious Library 2, and a few others.
- TeatimeGrommit, on 11/02/2007, -2/+4Really? Imagine if your laptop worked like an iphone. It wouldn't be a clamshell. It would just be like those tablet PCs but with 1000% less suck. No start menu. No dock. No menu bar. This isn't a paradigm shift? What is a paradigm shift then? Some people just won't be satisfied until their computer is plugged into a jack in the back of their heads, I guess.
- inactive, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_Animation
- aptmunich, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2http://www.equinux.com/us/products/stationery/inde ...
- booc0mtaco, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2It is a cool app! I can't really think of another application anywhere that replicates that functionality in such a beautiful graphical fashion. I'm sure they would mention it, if it existed.
- chrup, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2Just another guy that likes to hear himself talk. Everybody talks, but nobody's saying anything.
- newbill123, on 11/02/2007, -7/+9The author says no apps that use Core Animation have shipped. Hasn't Apple been using Core Animation in Leopard apps (even if you discount the private Apple libraries Core Animation evolved from in Tiger)?
- blake182, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2I don't mean to be rude to the developers out there, but I haven't been able to get significant feature updates for some of my applications in ages because "oh, the next version is Leopard-only". OK, fine, so Leopard shipped, where's my goddam Leopard-only apps that I've been waiting for?
- bjtitus, on 11/01/2007, -0/+2Lookup the new diskutil ResizeVolume command. As long as your drive is GUID partitioned, you should be able to resize without any data loss.
- DaffyDuck, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2No, it's not what you said it all. A hard link is not a copy of a file.
- pinchies, on 11/02/2007, -0/+2try your question again at macosxhints.com, not in the middle of a digg comments list - kinda annoying.
;) - pkulak, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2TextMate is apparently going to be Leopard only for the next version. I can't wait!
- dagamer34, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2@bjweeks Factoring in the "tack on 3 years to what MS says by default" rule, the "WOW" won't begin until January 30, 2010.
- MrDo, on 11/01/2007, -1/+2Don't waste your time on over90000, he is just sitting all day trolling on apple topics, just ignore him.
- antitab, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1Bingo. The most exciting thing for me about Leopard is not the OS itself (though that is very, very good), but what will come of Core Animation. Apple's use of it thus far has been rather conservative in light of the revolutionary new kinds of interfaces that it encourages (not "makes possible", because technically anything done with CA should have been possible earlier – just much less accessible). I'm stoked to see what kinds of next-generation interfaces will be conceived by the Mac community.
- TeatimeGrommit, on 11/01/2007, -0/+1XCode 3 makes use of it. I think its an app. For what it's worth
