  1. Some aspects of Leopard are certainly going to be revealed. But, these guys are dorks.

    DOOOOoooOooOooOOOoooorks, I say! ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”blank stare” style=”border:0;” />

  2. MDN makes fun of the rumor….but yet goes ahead and publishes it.
    If it was not for MDN spreading the rumors how would we know about them???

    And dear MDN censors please don´t remove this message.

  3. that stage isn’t near big enough for such an unveiling!!!!
    Who there will care about the “Top Secret” features of an entire OS?
    It would be rude of Apple, not to mention unprofessional of them, to unveil a none-broadcast oriented product at that expo. It would detract attention from all the fellow vendors. Taking the thunder away from E3 during MacWorld is one thing, but this would be completely different and in poor taste.

    NO kidding anon – but the bottom line is MDN profits (all them ads you see everywhere) from these rumors so why make fun of them.

    Kind of like bringing illegal drugs to the neighborhood, saying they are illegal Drugs and then selling them:
    “We´re telling you this are illegal drugs and you shouldn´t take them, but we brought them here for you all to buy. But, hey, they are illegal drugs.”

    I see nothing wrong with rumors and who says this story is a rumor???? Just MDN.

    I, for one, will sleep better knowing that your pointless posts are protected from the Nazi evildoers at MDN.

    It’s EXACTLY like selling illegal drugs.

  6. i asked my source, who subsequently threw some chicken bones onto the floor of his waddle and daub hut, and according to the bones it’s…

    april: new hardware & nab apps
    may: 10.5
    june: phone
    july: the month you bum out bc you didn’t buy aapl at its pre-split of $95
    aug: ditto
    sept: new macbooks
    oct: touchscreen iPods

  7. I know I’ll take some flack for saying this, but until Steve unveils some more features that I can use on my powermac, I don’t see a need to buy leopard at all, no matter when they release it.

  8. Apple has announced a special event for NAB but there is no mention of whether SJ will be on hand. I don’t recall him ever showing at NAB. If he doesn’t show up, neither will Leopard.

    I’m sure the event is for the newest version of Final Cut. WWDC is much more likely for Leopard. It’ll still be spring.
