Fake Leopard screenshot winner
WWDC is mere weeks away and Mac geeks the world round can hardly wait to get a taste of that sweet, sweet Leopard. To hold you over I offer you the winners of PhillRyu.com's Fake Leopard screenshot contest. First place winner Eric Patterson (one of his screenshots can be seen above) wants to be able to preview lots more file types in the Finder, as well as banish Brushed Metal (something that I bet will be done in Leopard).
Check out all the winners and the judge's commentary, you'll be glad you did.

Now I'll be dissapointed when some of those features (like the visual safari tabs) don't make it into leopard.

Personally I like the brushed metal look. I know it's been around for a while but I'm just not a fan of the plastic IKEA/Target look that's in iTunes and some of the other new applications...

wow.....
If we actually got a real metadata-based filesystem, a finder like that could easily become a reality.
Kinda pathetic that BeOS actually had all this 10 years ago (minus the pretty visuals, and the ability to um..... print)

Scott (or anyone),
What is the deal with stars and how can I get some?

Farhan, the stars are just our little way of rewarding good commenters. In my case I usually dole them out when a comment either:
1. Makes me laugh.
2. Is useful.
3. Finds an error in a post of mine (this is the most common star awarding event).

Actually, my entry wasn't full of Asian porn, it was full of references to Asian music.
Now, sure, for ME, the music video that is featured in the screenshot in this story can be used as porn, but then again I'm easy to please. *heh*

Just wanted to agree with #9 -- I'm a big fan of brushed metal, actually. I feel like I'm in this ghettoized minority, since I hear so much hostility towards brushed metal. Has anyone ever done a poll about the issue? I just wonder if my perception is a reality or simply fueled by vocal people on the other side of the fence.
And really, isn't it time for an entire GUI overhaul for the OS? The thing that bothers me most is the Aqua scrollbar, which I find clashes with both the look of iTunes and brushed metal. I'm tired of this, and would like to see a coherent, unified look -- even if it means something totally different. I'm sure I'm not the first to say this (nor probably the last, alas).

Kevin, so it's porn just because there are asian women in the screenshots? Most of the videos are of jpop (japanese pop) stars. Last time I checked, that would not be considered porn. He obviously likes asian music and I assume asian women.

Japanese pop is bordering on pedophile.

If you're going to make fun of something, at least try saying it properly when you do.

And the chances of Leopard being anything this revolutionary or spectacular is...?
Really, is Leopard going to be a jump like from XP to Vista or just another Mac OS X .1 update?
Reply
Chris Bell said 10:17PM on 7-27-2006
C. Hwang: That's the big question. Nobody knows how revolutionary it will be. I am guessing it will be bigger than the Tiger release because they have taken more time with it and it's release coincides with Vista and that adds an extra level of pressure.
PS. Why does John get a star for that dumbass remark? I hate it when people throw out jokes about something as serious as pedophilia.
