  • Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -6/+5711 days, 21 hours until some real action!
    • hookid, on 10/12/2007, -7/+15thanks for the reminder!
    • Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Sorry I meant to say 10 days, 21 hours and counting down ;)
  • usernamed, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24That looks awesome, and I hope that Apple really blows us away for Leopard..
    • defectDS, on 10/12/2007, -7/+7I'm rootn' for a MBP with a Core Duo 2 Mobile.
    • Kale, on 10/12/2007, -13/+6wait, this is a software release, right? I know C2D's are being released this week, but is it linked to OS 10.5?

      (Core Duo Mini user and proud of it :D )
    • nato64, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Kale,

      These are Mock-ups made by fans of Apple. None of them have any authenticity. Leapord (Mac OS 10.5) may or may not look like those pictures. We have no idea, that's why everyone's wait to see the preview Apple is going to give two weeks from now :) 10.5 is expected to be released 1st Quarter 2007, maybe earlier.
    • Clodagh, on 10/12/2007, -18/+4"That looks awesome, and I hope that Apple really blows us away for Leopard" I love blowjobs too! :P
  • whackaxe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18damn, some of those features are really cool, I hope apple can live up to some of them
    • Ireland, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Easier to say it then to do it, nevertheless I wholeheartedly agree :)
  • Glenn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8These are amazing, I absoutely love the first entry. I like that one which looks like Aperture too, very creative.

    Loving it! Apple, read his blog and take note...
  • defectDS, on 10/12/2007, -4/+20Haha! What's with the obsession of videos of Asian chicks!?
    • idiotkings, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Well.. because they're hot chicks. Hot asian chicks. Certainly didn't hurt in the competition here. :)
    • clbell, on 10/12/2007, -12/+0nevermind
    • thexder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5They guy is part of a site/podcast that intends to import Japanese music to the US.
    • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Not import, per say, but talk about the stuff and cover it for English-speaking fans.

      idiotkings nailed it, though - they're cuties, and that's good enough for me. I used what I used partially because it was what I had on hand, and partially just for the fun of it. If I'm going to be using example content for making my mock-ups, might as well use something I can have fun with.
    • thexder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0Guess I better brush up on my stalking skillz
  • meishme, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22http://www.duggmirror.com/apple/Fake_Leopard_Screenshots_Winners_announced/
  • Griffology, on 10/12/2007, -82/+12Now I know everyone will jump on me for this one, but would it kill them to make their page readable in IE? I enjoy most of the content on their, but having to boot up firefox, yes IE is my default, can be a pain sometimes.
    • Kale, on 10/12/2007, -27/+7Have you tried IE7 beta?
    • Linkage155, on 10/12/2007, -26/+14dude, I so wish there was about 9 more little "thumbs down" buttons right about now..
    • vandread, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Well for starters I think since thats a site that's geared towards an OSX theme they probably only care if it displays properly in OSX, another thing is that if your still using IE for your setting yourself up for failure. I use firefox for all my browsing and if I happen to be on a page that's IE only, I have IETab installed which lets me just right click and select "view page in IE Tab" and it opens the page up in Firefox but using the IE rendering engine.
    • Giever, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I don't know if people are digging down Griffology for simply using IE, or for suggesting that sites make their pages readable in IE. I assume, and hope, it is the latter, I can see reason for that, as it strays from standards compliancy, though I don't see a reason to digg him down just because he uses IE.
    • Griffology, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9Meh, I assumed it would happen. I use firefox daily, but like I stated IE is my default. While the website is geared towards OS X, I still think it's necesarry to code webpages so that a majority of people, no matter what browser or OS, can view the page.
    • jinushaun, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6IE Tab is your friend:

      https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1419/

      Basically you can run IE inside of Firefox in a different tab. No more need to open IE.
    • StatusQuoRules, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Now you know how we firefox users feel when we have to open that hideous IE though I never bother with that, site not worth a visit if it won't open in firefox
    • Julikaefer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The Digg comment system is surely not the right place for this. Just send your bug report to microsoft so they can fix their browser. But be warned that you might be charged [1] by Microsoft for helping them improving their products.

  • vandread, on 10/12/2007, -15/+5play video files inside the preview in the finder! oh noes, if this was real I'd say they stole that Idea from Windows 2000!
    • TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow. Why did Microsoft remove that feature? It could probably get very annoying, but is unique at least. :O
    • titlesaysitall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15You can play videos in the finder already, switch to column view and it shows the movie preview. You can do it in Spotlight too. Even when you click get info you can see a preview.
    • vandread, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I have no clue why Microsoft removed that feature, it was awesome click on a vid and it would give a preview of it under the details section of the explorer, you can then play it from there. I had a video card that would export video overlays to my TV and the filtered quality of the preview window was vastly better than Windows Media Player. You could also fullscrean, pause, rewind, fast foward all from the preview window. It was pretty much a full media center. I'm guessing it was probably removed because Europe said it was forcing people to use the windows Media Player that's built in and to either remove it or make it so other companies can integrate their own media player into the system. So, since no one was interested in releasing a pay for media player that will integrate into windows to replace the free one that worked great, they had to remove it.

      It was the main reason it took me so long to upgrade my windows machine to XP. I didn't want to lose that feature.
    • EgoDemens, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4That feature sucked. If you have a folder of clips and wanted to delete (some of) them good ***** luck because Media Player would lock the files for access and modification just to pop up that stupid preview. Sometimes even for opening the file. They should have at least made it a click to play or hover sort of thing. Also I'm pretty sure it does the same damn thing in XP.
    • vandread, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm pretty sure you don't know what your talking about. in XP it doesn't lock or allow preview of the video files in that window (hence why I didn't want to upgrade to XP) and I do remember some issues resolved with later service pack updates about that locking the files and making them not deleteable but it was easily bypassed by holding ctrl and selecting multiple files or just waiting until it finished cashing the video file. I personally never had enough of a problem with it to warrant not liking it, and since you obviously don't know XP well enough to know that media player isn't integrated into the video box you really are showing me that you probably don't really understand much about the 2000 environment and if you had a problem like that I would say its probably because you weren't running the latest service packs.
  • thexder, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Not sure how long that's been there but Finder does that now in Tiger.
  • felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -7/+9I have one feature that care about for Leopard, and that's full-screen apps. Oh, well, I can dream.
    • nato64, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Are you a former windows user?

      Full screen apps are a waste of space and time. Having one Pages document take up the entire screen is the worse idea anyone could ever have. Totally useless. Full screen web browsing, maybe. But one of the main things I like about Mac OS X is how things are NOT full screen so you can multi-task.
    • seanlynch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13That's all well and good when you have a 30" widescreen display, but when you're editing images on a 12" iBook, you need to use as much of the screen as possible. You certainly don't have the screen real estate to have everything you need side-by-side.
    • Dinosaurus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think what felchdonkey is talking about when he says full screen apps is say for instance you are using a Mac mini in the living room. A full screen version of iPhoto would have a different interface to allow it's use without a mouse and keyboard. I could be wrong, I would like this type of functionality in some of these apps.
    • monototo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3http://ianhenderson.org/megazoomer.html

      works with most carbon apps
    • sneeka2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I don't know what the problem is. In an OSX application you've got

      - a menu bar
      - a title bar
      - (possibly) a toolbar
      - the main window

      You can resize the window to not leave any space between all these and you've got the same as in Windows, just in a different order. What's that argument about non-maximisable windows?!
    • felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2It's a simple usability issue. Some situations benefit from having multiple windows available at all times, and others benefit from the focus you get from a full-screen app.
      Do you watch movies in a window, or full-screen?
      Just like you want to concentrate when you're watching a movie, sometimes you want to concentrate when you're editing an image, or writing.

      Yes, there are cludgy ways you can go full-screen or at least maximize in some Mac apps, but it impedes workflow to have to carefully drag windows to the exact position you want, and watch out so that you don't acidentally move them from their spots.

      If you could have the best of both worlds - i.e., Mac-style floaty windows when you want, and full screen apps (FrontRow style) when you want, why not have both?
  • standsolid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Insanely good fake shots -- but that Finder look so complicated. I would use the commandline over that thing any day.
    • macattacks10, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2He used some nice tricks by just taking screen shots of Safari and the finder with the light unified tool bar. He has Uno installed to do that for him, because of the small Apple and Spotlight icons. Just a matter of piecing them together. It's the way I like to do things when doing similar jobs, cause it works very slick.
    • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yeah, to be clear, I take no credit for the overall basic visual design and icons. Those are thanks to UNO (by far the best thing to happen to OSX visually), and some nice icons from a wonderful person whose name I've totally forgotten.
  • olddirtycr, on 10/12/2007, -21/+2I am working with the government to develop a new type of Mac OSx
  • davdav, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6Mirror?
  • alx1507, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2I use that same icon set on my mac : ]

    Another thing. Apple can't redesign the Finder around intel processors. That would leave all us PPC users in the dust. (same reason why windows virtualization integration won't happen.)
    • flipmeat, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3The usefulness of universal binaries created with Xcode _should_ work both ways. We'll see...
  • pocketmonster, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9I hope this is nothing like the real new finder. Gone is any sort of simplicity. Instead, we get so many little options and various ways to do things that I feel like I'm inside of a programmer's world instead of a well-thought out operating system. Apple's philosophy is do things the right way and don't give the user thousands of overwhelming options and configurable things. This finder is not that.
    • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2You have to appreciate, though, that for those of us making the mock-ups, we had to cram a lot of ideas into not a lot of images. I know I did that, so that's why my Finder comes off as a bit overwhelming. In practice, of course, those ideas would be smoothed out, and integrated in a way that would not only come across better, but would let power users have them when they want them, but not overwhelm more casual users.
    • staan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I agree. Over-complicated, under-useful. It reminds me of Konqueror on KDE. It tries to be a jack of all trades, and ends up doing a zillion things not very well.
  • Overlord, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2Duplicate story http://digg.com/apple/Leopard_Fakes_Better_Than_The_Real_Thing
    • Youngster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1too bad i cant get the real story or the mirror to load :(
  • thexder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4This is a pic of the guy who won

  • fungifred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Wow, this is the first time that Phillryu's blog has been dugg that it went down from the traffic, the other times it held up.
  • korimickster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Completely owned by the Digg effect. Any way to get the images elsewhere?
    • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I have the images for my entries up on my personal site, but I'm now a bit afraid to link to them. *laughs*
    • dizzybastard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3*softly whispers in Shidoshi's ear..."flickr".... *
    • bicknutler, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0bet we could find them with googles binary search...
    • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's already a cache version on here, but hell, here's my Flick with them on it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pikoeri/
  • thexder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Coral Cache: http://phillryu.com.nyud.net:8080/leopard.php?person=eric
  • AliceKK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Holy cow these are amazing, if Apple doesnt integrate these features I will be very... sad.
  • smeager, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2-Griffology-"Meh, I assumed it would happen. I use firefox daily, but like I stated IE is my default. While the website is geared towards OS X, I still think it's necesarry to code webpages so that a majority of people, no matter what browser or OS, can view the page."

    See, that's where I think most people get it wrong. The site renders properly in browser that support web standards (Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera, Shirra, etc...). The problem lies with IE and its ability NOT to support web standards. I understand that since it is still the dominant browser that it should work but as I see it why should a web programmer have to code a site differently that it would work in IE.

    Now with the release of IE7 beta2, Microsoft has made strides in following standards, but they have a long way to go. Maybe you should it(IE7) a try if IE is your default browser.
  • TheBigBrother, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Can't...wait...for...WWDC

    I even got the coutdown widget
  • Elucidmage, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I work for the Apple store and people ask about it at least 50 times a day:( The World wide conference in coming up soon so woo.
  • suppaibeg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Some of those are really cool mockups. And some are really really bad mockups. It's cool to see what people come up with.

    I'm just glad I don't have to use that last one, I might have to commit suicide if I had to use that everyday. It's like everything thats bad about Linux plus everything thats bad about Microsoft. *shudder*
  • Daveecee, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I think Apple needs to hire Eric...
  • kidmillionaire, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0What I think is funny is no one bothered to change the apple, which changes every single time...
  • RareSaturn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+1That is the worst colour scheme for a blog I ever saw. unreadable.
  • shidoshi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm cashing in on my fifteen minutes of fake Mac screenshot fame! I put up a page to show off some of the various mock-ups that I've done over the years. It's very temporary for now, but I'm going to get a few of my older mock-ups put up this weekend, and over time anything else I do for fun will go up on there.

    No ad banners, no money being gained from it, not even a cheap link to my main website (which of course couldn't possibly be figured out from the URL of this site)... I just really enjoyed reading all of the nice (and even the not so nice) things that were said about my entries, and thought I'd put up the other stuff I've done instead of just letting it sit on my hard drive.

  • AkshayGenius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1apple needs to take advice from ERIC. Seriously.
  • superterran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Eric ***** rocks!

    I want that finder, and I want it yesterday. If Leapord has anything like what that guy thought of - I'll have one very happy MBP!
  • pixelfox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I dunno about some of his GUI, all I can say is that the finder better have tabs, and GET RID OF BRUSHED METAL!
  • cuby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0
    maybe apple just needs to hire more raging japanophiles to their UI team ...
  • bmc2010, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Apple needs to listen to Eric, these are simply amazing.
  • whiteyMcBrown, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Full screen for apps would be amazing! I hate using Flash on a mac. It just sucks. The windows get jumbled and ***** looking. Thank God Photoshop's F key still makes it fullscreen. If I'm working on one thing, then sometimes I just want to work on that one thing. If I want to spend some time and just organize my iTunes files for a while, then I should be able to make that fullscreen. If I want to just organize my files in Finder for a bit.. fullscreen. Mail for a while? Fullscreen. I don't understand why a mac user would want that option not even there. I appreciate the 'Jobs knows best' mentality... and you can continue with your jumble of windows, but that's the main thing keeping me from having a mac as a work computer, rather than just my escape from work computer, at home. Oh... oh... and copy/paste ability for files in the finder.
