- da5id, on 10/14/2007, -0/+30I see your one Gold Master and raise you one Platinum Expert.
- ziple, on 10/13/2007, -2/+28Really looking forward to Leopard. Oct 26, here we come..
- threemagic, on 10/13/2007, -0/+18Are you saying when Vista SP1 gets "close" to release we won't see a thread? I know we saw a thread for Ubuntu's release of their rc happening soon.
- Ireland, on 10/13/2007, -6/+23November 9th will do me fine. Gives them a full 4 weeks to iron out all the creases. I don't want to get a buggy Leopard just so they can prove they met their new deadline. Another two weeks would be quite livable.
- inactive, on 10/13/2007, -4/+19Leopard is like a woman. She takes forever to come.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/25/2007, -0/+13Hang on, you're an annoying windows fanboy/troll. Since when do you own Apple hardware?
- MadKennyP, on 10/25/2007, -1/+13over90000: nice try. you purchased an Apple computer that came with some version of Apple's OS included. THAT is what you get for "paying for the hardware."
- devindotcom, on 10/13/2007, -14/+25So now it's news when Apple doesn't release something?
- eleven, on 10/13/2007, -1/+12No issues as long as Adam and John have the exact same macs.
- Ricapar, on 10/28/2007, -3/+13I love it how people casually talk about pirating XP/Vista, yet get all up in arms over pirating Apple's OS.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/13/2007, -0/+7A sequence of words between apostrophes means that that sequence is from an external source or is deliberately out of context with the rest of the sentence. Therefore you can't criticise him for the grammar of that phrase.
You, however, used an unnecessary comma. If you're going to be a pedantic grammar nazi, at least do it right. - soopafly, on 10/25/2007, -2/+9So by your logic, my car should be able to get free gas and maintenance.
- inactive, on 10/13/2007, -5/+12yarrrr! Set Sail to ye pirate bay
- TGMD, on 10/13/2007, -2/+9Why are you digging him down? He has a point. I bet if there was an article here about how to pirate vista half of you would digg it up but if it's the same article on how to pirate OS X you'd digg it down.
You can't have it both ways people, pirating is either wrong or it isn't (I think it's wrong) - aliguana, on 10/13/2007, -1/+7you're just not doing it right (if at all)
- meatmcguffin, on 10/13/2007, -0/+5So you're complaining about Apple not providing a Mac OS update for free because you own an iPod? I don't get the logic.
Curiosity is killing me here though; what do you think of the nano? - Ireland, on 10/13/2007, -1/+5'I don't want to get a buggy Leopard just so they can prove they met their new deadline.'
Not to quote myself, but that's why I said; "new deadline". - terminalpariah, on 10/13/2007, -1/+4Awesome, thanks for clearing that up. :)
- joel8x, on 10/13/2007, -1/+4Why not just "get" the retail OS X 10.5 and do an archive install?
- meatmcguffin, on 10/13/2007, -0/+3Every mac OS update has run faster than the previous version on exactly the same hardware. eg, 10.4 was faster than 10.3 which was faster than 10.2
Windows users can never get their heads around that one while Linux and Mac users take it as the norm. - ZaNkY, on 10/25/2007, -2/+5soopafly, Wouldn't you like to get free gas and maintenance for life?
I need to find an awesome car manufacturer that let's you build their car for free with parts they provide and engineers too, provide you with a lifetime supply of gas, oil, window washer fluid (tsk tsk at those windows...), tires, brakes.... parts in general. Never costs you a dime, and runs faster and smoother than any other car on the market.... A manufacturer so nice they even allow you to give them suggestions or work on their next model. Next model comes out? grab the new car, for free! (you get to keep the old one too).....
Ok Ok I'll stop trolling for Linux :p
(buried in 3....2... ) - terminalpariah, on 10/13/2007, -3/+6Just a hypothetical question from a new (and happy) iMac owner...
John bought an aluminum iMac with Tiger preinstalled. Adam waited for Leopard before buying his iMac.
Adam takes his iMac restore DVD, rips it, and starts sharing the image via a torrent site.
Is there any mechanism in place that prevents John from downloading Adam's torrent, burning his own Leopard restore disc, and "restoring" it on his Mac? - doObz, on 10/13/2007, -0/+2if they don't it is still possible to change the requirements to install... you can go into the BSD and change some files from the installer and burn it again to a DVD.. here is some quick info for leopard...
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&showtopi ... - gharding, on 10/14/2007, -4/+6So what? They're still getting my money. I'm still getting their software. I don't see why you have such a big problem with this. Sure, it's an illegitimate means of distribution, but morally wrong? Hell no. I'm not losing sleep over getting software a few days before I paid for it.
- bigkm, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3Those disks will only install on the exact some build of hardware. (yes same revision too)
- inkswamp, on 10/13/2007, -0/+2Not really, but it *would* be news if an Apple story made it to the front of Digg without half-a-dozen jealous PC users rushing in to whine and bitch about it.
- inkswamp, on 10/13/2007, -0/+2Oh that's so funny because Apple users never complain about Apple products having flaws and they're all just stereotypes who follow Steve Jobs. Gosh, that's way funny. Did you come up with that by yourself? You should totally be a stand-up comedian.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/13/2007, -2/+4The first gen isn't even out in the rest of the World yet. I wouldn't bank on an update for at least a year
- ItStillMoves, on 10/13/2007, -0/+2That's Windows Vista. Leopard runs smoothly on current machines as they already shipped a limited number of beta versions to developpers some months ago and no such problems were reported. Get your facts straight.
- inactive, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3No.
- fangorious, on 10/13/2007, -1/+3quite ignoring the clitoram
- Twee, on 10/14/2007, -0/+2You've got to be kidding me. You had the cash to afford the brand new aluminum iMac, but you don't have $129 to get a copy of Leopard? Also, if you're a student, it's only $69 I believe.
- vault, on 10/13/2007, -0/+1It can't come soon enough.
- inactive, on 10/14/2007, -4/+5what?
- gharding, on 10/14/2007, -8/+9??? They already have my $130. I bought a license. What the hell is wrong with downloading it? How is that not an good reason? It's not like Apple is changing the price based on when I get it. Hell, I'd be happy if Apple just had a "buy license" option so they WOULDN'T ship me the disk and manual (I live in NYC.. storage space is a luxury). It's akin to downloading MP3s for CDs I already own.
- meatmcguffin, on 10/13/2007, -1/+2The full, latest version of an Apple OS at retail value is roughly 4 times cheaper than the full, latest version of MS's OS at retail value.
Also, i'm sure we all don't have to dig up figures *yet again* on how comparatively priced high end Apple systems are compared to high end Dells, etc. - inkswamp, on 10/13/2007, -0/+1You speak the truth and I have been buried many times on Digg for saying exactly that. I have had 10.2-10.4 installed on my 5-year-old G3 iBook and each version runs slightly faster. I have no idea how that works. Perhaps Apple scales back certain things on older hardware for a relative performance boost. I have no idea what they're doing but it works great. (Although I seriously doubt 10.5 will continue that for hardware as old as my iBook, but we'll see.)
- deadsoulz, on 10/18/2007, -0/+1It is kinda lame of apple not to offer it for free to anyone who has purchased a Mac in the last 60 days.
- xkorbin, on 10/14/2007, -0/+1Not to mention that amazing dock :)
- simmux, on 10/14/2007, -2/+3Yes. There's a mechanism in place - called law - which prevents John from doing it.
- inkswamp, on 10/13/2007, -0/+1Welcome to Fantasy Island--angry Windows user edition.
- inactive, on 10/13/2007, -0/+1Yeah dumbass that's because Apple has a "new" "innovative" OS you have to buy for 100-150$ every year or 2 years.
MS on the other hand hasn't come out with a new OS since 2003. And if Mactards could ever do the math, that makes OSX more expensive. - lgivens, on 10/13/2007, -1/+2I can tell you know nothing about software.
- wrow, on 10/13/2007, -1/+1not at all, vista's "longhorn" beginnings had been in the pipelines forever, and was supposed to be released before Tiger was!!! That's right Mac OS X 10.4.
- soopafly, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1So you didn't understand what he meant?
- p4madeus, on 10/25/2007, -0/+0Actually I believe Apple offers a heavy discount to folks who just recently purchased a new Mac, if I remember correctly I read somewhere you get $120 off if you just purchased a Mac within 60 (maybe 30?) days of Leopard's release so it would cost you a piddly $9. That's chump change, and if you did just buy a new Mac you knew damn well Leopard was coming and you could have just waited.
- babakshirazi, on 10/14/2007, -1/+1
I think you will be disappointed. Spaces, Time Machine, Stacks, Core Animation and some new mail templates....woooooo. It's a minor upgrade dude. Trust me, I've been using the developer version for awhile now. It looks nicer over all, but there's not much in there. I'm still waiting for the big secret Jobs promised. Haven't seen it yet. - meatmcguffin, on 10/14/2007, -1/+1Yeah *****, but you don't *have to* buy them all do you? I know a lot of people that skip releases which means they get a release every four years for half the price of Vista.
Also, since when is waiting four years between OS releases a good thing? Moron. - superkendall, on 10/13/2007, -5/+5They already have delayed it once - one would presume, to wrinkle out aforementioned creases.
