Mac OSX Leopard

[KrisisID]

this OS is absolutely great, im totally using the multiple desktops and everything new is absolutely great. the ability to preview a file before opening it. its all amazing. for those with a Mac, absolutely worth the 120 bucks.

[KrisisID]

oh and Time Machine kicks system recovery's ass!

everything that mac upgraded is definitly usable and useful. and they make it all look cool too!

[dj_soo]

waiting till they fix some of the security holes and programs like Serato and Ableton give us the thumbs up.

Still totally want it tho...

[Drazkers]

Ableton should work fine, when they did tiger they upgraded the core-audio, basically breaking alot of stuff, i'm not sure about serato but torq works perfectly. Some plugins like melodyne are incompatible tho.

Also if your really worry about security just click the button that says firewall on ;)

[ty:rone]

agreed.
they made system recovery and data tracking fun... or cool.
how the hell is that stuff fun.

I thought this last line in that article was rather interesting:

Apple has a longstanding policy about not commenting in public on issues regarding the security of its products.

[Kraig]

Soo... keep us posted when it's safe to install Leopard. LOL.

[Gusto]

the security holes identified in that article are pretty minor. if you use samba or ntpd, you might be at risk. but your mac probably shouldn't be accessible to the internet anyway, so these security holes can be blocked by a firewall/router or by turning off the services.

Definetely a rockin OS dont have it installed yet, but i have had the chance to play around with it... I also love the stackables really helps keep shit organized.

[KrisisID]

few minor glitches, note when you first install it, before restarting the computer, run system update. lol. im guessing a short glitch on the installation process, it keeps loading the sign on/register page. minor glitches with the dock dissappearing happend to me a couple times. other than that the programs seem stable.

and doing everything in leopard is actually fun. everyday i literally can't wait to go and plug in my laptop to my portable harddrive so that i am able to use time machine to go back in time. lol. i go and look at it just for fun sometimes. shows me eveyrhting i deleted every hour since i setup time machine.

okay so im totally behind and JUST installed leopard... taking time to get use to. i feel like im on a whole diff computer. now to somehow get cs3 on my lappy at home. any other cool features i should check out? (ya im too lazy to read the manual or google stuff)

[ash1ee]

and yet to browse all the new features! and sucks to be me..no manual.

[dj_soo]

i lost my cd of leopard and was trying to install XP on my macbook pro (just to play some games). Apparently, I need the leopard disk to finish the install for drivers and such - anyone want to lend me theirs? :D

[bebu*funfun]

ha.. i magically had mine for a temporary time. sorry. cs3 anyone please please?

its SO bad, but im itching for a new laptop..why? im not sure.. i think im just itching for something new.

[mapleleaf4ever]

I'll be joining you folks soon enough! It's been forever since I've used a Mac... so I might have to ask for some tips and hints.

i realized at work that it only takes 1 serial for cs3? seems too good to be true.. i think for cs2 1 needed 1 serial to generate another serial. hmm... ok torrent here i come.

[stabmyhead]

There were major glitches with Leopard for Adobe CS3 in the beginning which made Leopard a horrible OS. Since then, things seem to be functioning normally. It's a pretty OS but functionality wise, I don't think it's as stable as the previous OSs.

[wishbone]

im still using linux

what a fag

[Drazkers]

I find that safari is alot more unstable but except for that its running nicely for me

[bebu*funfun]

im still stuck in the hotmail world.. is anyone else that uses hotmail having a really hard time getting into the login page? maybe a safari thing.. i should really make a habit to always use firefox.

I got safari 3.1 and have no issues with hotmail, but try downloading and using camino(firefox mac) that will fix any problems.

[bebu*funfun]

hmm...strange how my software update didn't pick up safari 3.1. i think it solved the hotmail prob.. it seems to be logging in fine now. seanu, try safari 3.1!!
