More Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard screenshots?
Monday, June 26, 2006 - 03:53 PM EST

Another couple of Mac OS X 10.5 Pre-release Leopard screenshots have been posted online via Flickr.


These new screenshots (the shots we saw last week via Trinity Rubicon are now admitted fakes) show what's supposed to be a new version of Safari with a sidebar of webpage thumbnails, some sort of accelerated bookmark menu button, a Boot Camp icon in the Mac menu bar, and a black address book icon in the Dock.

See them here.

Can we just make it official that any shots coming out before August are not real?

Jun 26, 06 - 03:00 pm Comment from: Akido

I'm thinkin'.... Fake.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:00 pm Comment from: I. M. Gullible

Ok ok ok---the LAST ones were fake, but THESE ones are real!!!

Jun 26, 06 - 03:04 pm Comment from: Crabster

meeeeh....

the last ones were obvious fakes. Those are better, but still fakes, imho

Jun 26, 06 - 03:05 pm Comment from: wandering joe

Why people don't use the status bar is beyond me.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:05 pm Comment from: Darren

defintely fakes check out the boot camp icon magnified on the menu bar, notice it is not anti-aliased, Apple wouldn't miss that.

fake. note on the pic with safari that there are 2 hard drive icons, 1 says macintosh hd and the other says leopard. assuming he has on a separate drive, the leopard drive, he would have booted from that drive, and would have showed up above the other drive. drives are shown on the desktop in the order they booted.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:08 pm Comment from: USTommyMC

Lets pretend that these are real. If these were Leopard screenshots, I feel sorry for anyone waiting for this. This looks completely unchanged from Tiger. A couple of new menu bar icons and changed theme for some apps does not constitute a new OS version. This is just sad.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:10 pm Comment from: The Friendless Mean Guy

These were worse than the last bunch.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:10 pm Comment from: Static Mesh

AS OF 10.4.5 the Dock (yes the Dock) contacts the Apple Store.

Install Little Snitch

Force Quit the Dock.

Activate Dashboard.

Why? Who TF knows, but I ran the ip address it contacts and it takes me right to the front page of Apple.

boot camp.. way up top.. very slick

Jun 26, 06 - 03:13 pm Comment from: Captain Obvious

Do you have a widget checking something at Apple.com?

Jun 26, 06 - 03:18 pm Comment from: Steve Jobs

Wow, not even close.

If your guessing fake, then you'd be correct.

Good for a laugh thou.

FAKE FAKE FAKE... damn these guys are better than some girls faking it!

Jun 26, 06 - 03:19 pm Comment from: Jeremiah

Not that it couldn't happen but why is the start-up disk "Macintosh HD" and not the "Leopard" volume?

Jun 26, 06 - 03:21 pm Comment from: dhard

Did anyone notice that instead of a google search bar in the upper right hand corner of safari, there is now a "MacSearch" bar? An interesting idea. Apple getting into the search business?

Apple taking on Google

Is there a site that shows any fake Tiger pictures that came out before Tiger's release? It would be fun to look at them.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:27 pm Comment from: R

I agree that they're fake, but what really interests me is the dearth of Leopard rumors.

As August approaches, things are going to heat up bigtime. And that also means that the expectations are going to grow.

Leopard had better include time travel, or...

Jun 26, 06 - 03:27 pm Comment from: lowfatsourcreme

Wow. Who would think Apple would put that garish black button in the Safari window?

FAKE.

And why even have a dashboard button in MAIL? I know *I* get sent so many widgets...

mdn word: quite, as in, quite fake.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:28 pm Comment from: GmJm

Fakes - Apple is too sensitive to new users, and the two "+" buttons in Safari are very easily confusing. The "+" for adding the URL to the Dashboard is logical, but now the "+" all by itself (Add to Bookmarks) has no logic function. A person would ask "Add to what?"

If Apple were to add an "Add to Dashboard" button, they would alter the icon for "Add to Bookmark", perhaps making it look like the open book icon for editing bookmarks.

Apple always moves forward in ease of use. The fake images make the user interface more confusing.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:30 pm Comment from: Chris Milne

As pointed out in the comments on the flickr site, the black dashboard icon already exists in Safari, take a look in the Package Contents -> Resources something ike OpenInDashboard.tif

Jun 26, 06 - 03:32 pm Comment from: doink

those screen shots are boring - somebody jumping on the bandwagon of trinity rubicon - I mean - they even made mail look worse!!! hahaha!!!

...I also don't think Apple would be so tacky as to turn their Address Book into a "Li'l Black Book"! See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_black_book

Jun 26, 06 - 03:40 pm Comment from: MacMan

I know it's fake because the address book and calendar are still seperate icons. I thought they would be combined into one program. At least that would make the most sense.

Jun 26, 06 - 03:41 pm Comment from: steven P.

RELEASE THE ASS WHIPPING ON THIS FOR SURE FAKES!

Jun 26, 06 - 03:42 pm Comment from: @ MacDaddy

FAKE FAKE FAKE... damn these guys are better than some girls faking it!

You've had lots of experience, I take it.

Jun 26, 06 - 04:06 pm Comment from: Loru

I would really like to see a tabbed finder window, that would be awesome. Also, this screenshot has a different apple background...me likes...

Jun 26, 06 - 04:08 pm Comment from: pat the ex

jeez why do you waste our time with this nonsense...fake fake fake....

oh look the footballs on!

Jun 26, 06 - 04:10 pm Comment from: Bill

Fake: Latest date visible: June 23 - look at content. Today is 26th. Why wait to publish such a fraud lest it took 3 days to "doctor up." Should be faster doctors. :D

Jun 26, 06 - 04:35 pm Comment from: emax

Boot camp will not be called boot camp in 10.5. It will be embedded into the OS and I am sure the icon will change. These are definetly fake.

Jun 26, 06 - 05:02 pm Comment from: Luke

The Safari tabs are awful. I'm typing on a 12 in PowerBook. I don't have the screen width to use that system. Luckily, I use Camino.

Jun 26, 06 - 05:04 pm Comment from: hd

fake or not, the dude who made them is a good artist and knows his stuff.. respect!

Jun 26, 06 - 05:14 pm Comment from: Here is why it is fake

As you all know, the boot drive for MacOS will be the top most drive on the desktop. If in fact this system is booted off the Leopard drive, then it would be the top most drive. Even if lets say it was sorted by name, it would still be the top most drive. Unless this user actually moved the Macintosh HD to the top and Leopard to the bottom, they did not do their homework on what drive shows up where at startup. I would find it hard to believe that someone would name their drive Leopard and not have it booting off that drive. Nothing to see here, move along. NEXT...

Jun 26, 06 - 05:30 pm Comment from: Luke

Fake. Look at the Boot Camp menu item in the Menu Bar while zoomed in in Preview. It has boundaries that are too sharp to be Apple.


Jun 26, 06 - 06:03 pm Comment from: BWhaler

The REAL problem here is they screen shots don't really show anything new.

Sure, the bar on the side of Safari is marginally cool. And there seems to be a DashBoard add button which is interesting, but too much is missing.

On a different note, it always cracks me up how people analyze the tiny details to figure out if something is fake.

It's much easier than that:

Think about it this way. If you had access to Leopard, with the new apps, etc., why would you show such minor changes. For example, if you had Tiger, you'd show DashBoard, or automator or something huge which no one has seen before.

You wouldn't show the minor changes to mail or Safari.

This is proven out since the only true leak last year was of Dashboard, just before the release. The entire Mac web wrote it off since it was too dramatic.

But all of the tiny iterations were debated.

Major changes may be real. (This is, after all, the release to attach Vista and embarass Microsoft. Once we see major, dramatic changes, then we should debate. Everything else is photoshop.)

Jun 26, 06 - 06:47 pm Comment from: Mac7

Let's ask Dan Rather... Fake but accurate?

Jun 26, 06 - 06:59 pm Comment from: Steve Jobs

PLEASE GENTLEMEN....THEY ARE NOT FAKES. THE SOON TO BE RELEASED LEAPORD WILL BE THE BEST OS ON THE MARKET....BARE NONE.

WE WILL ALSO BE INCORPORATING VISTA INTO A NEW EMULATOR.

Jun 26, 06 - 07:19 pm Comment from: revise

A couple of new menu bar icons and changed theme for some apps does not constitute a new OS version.

Shhh.... don't tell that to Microsoft!

Jun 26, 06 - 07:29 pm Comment from: not sj

"WE WILL ALSO BE INCORPORATING VISTA INTO A NEW EMULATOR."

Code name "Vaporizer"

Jun 26, 06 - 07:32 pm Comment from: d'orly

If true (which I doubt), it looks like a 1% change.

Jun 26, 06 - 07:40 pm Comment from: Hmmmm...

I'd quit using Firefox if the visual tabs turn out to be real.

I'd much rather lose the space horizontally than vertically. Which is why my dock is on the right.

Jun 26, 06 - 09:02 pm Comment from: TheConfuzed1

*yawn*

MW: Hell. Funny.

Can we have some real news for a "change"?

Jun 26, 06 - 09:38 pm Comment from: BrooklynNYC

SInce these, and any subsequent screenshots prior to the WWDC, are or will-be fakes why the fuck are you spending site real estate on this?

Jun 26, 06 - 11:06 pm Comment from: Blunt

Hey NYC go easy with your cute little words. We get your point.

Jun 27, 06 - 12:12 am Comment from: Kenny

Gee, looks like Jaguar to me.

Jun 27, 06 - 12:39 am Comment from: Jeremiah

Wait thats from 10.6!!!!!



MDN Magic Word: "West" as in "When will Adam West release Mac OS 10.6 the Batman version!"

Jun 27, 06 - 01:12 am Comment from: Yikes

I would think that people would obviously know this is fake from the MORE THAN obviously "pasted in" windows icon in the menu bar. lol

Jun 27, 06 - 03:38 am Comment from: MacSmiley

Same problem as the previous fakes:

New dummy account recently established: profile is blank, no contacts, no faves, no groups (and ther are several Mac Groups).

Besides, when Apple leaks something, they put it on their website then pull it.

Panther: 150 new features
Tiger: 200 new features
Leopard ??? new features, but sure to be more than the previous two. Photos lack anything of interest...

FAKE

Jun 27, 06 - 04:10 am Comment from: Carlos Net

If those visual tabs turn out to be real, then that can only mean Safari is moving closer and closer to OmniWeb, which is a very good thing (though I personally think that the drawer, which OmniWeb uses, is a better location for such tabs than an in-window 'sidebar').

If Safari caught up with OmniWeb in key areas of functionality (and the tabs are the biggest advantage that keeps me using OmniWeb in favour of Safari most of the time), then I might just end up using Safari as my browser exclusively... (and believe me, I'd like to)

Since this is FAKE, though, it's all academic ¬_¬
