“With Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard entering the final stretch of development, overzealous Apple advocates are turning to discussion boards and file sharing websites to show off image and video captures taken from the next generation OS, most recently highlighting features such as simplified security preferences, enhanced searching, QuickTime X’s screen recording function and a new version of Image Capture,” Slash Lane reports for AppleInsider.

“On Monday, attention was drawn to a YouTube user’s webpage brandishing over a half dozen Snow Leopard demonstration videos, five of which were subsequently removed by the user while another was yanked from the video sharing website after Apple waged a copyright claim. Since then, readers have pointed to a long-running thread over at the French-language MacGeneration website that’s serving as yet another forum offering Snow Leopard-related discussion illustrated by numerous screenshots and videos,” Lane reports.

Lane reports, “AppleInsider has extracted a handful images showing off some features that have received limited coverage in the past or haven’t been represented fully in imagery, such as the recently-reported screen recording options due to arrive as part of QuickTime X Player 1.0.”
