Rumor: Aussies call Leopard date of 10/20 (debunked)

Update 1pm: Um, perhaps not. As our commenters note, a post on these forums from one of the Frequency guys says this page is simply a mockup -- so far, "no date as yet," and the dates on the page "mean nothing." (Note to Frequency: When mocking up announcement party invites, please don't put in imaginary dates -- "October ###" would be just fine.) So Oct. 20th is as good as guess as anywhere else, but don't get your hopes up quite yet.

It's a long long way from Cupertino to the Sydney, Australia neigborhood of Rushcutters Bay -- and yet perhaps the Down Under retailer Frequency (seller of Macs and more) has gotten some information that the rest of us haven't heard yet. Frequency's "Leopard Launch Party" page says

Due to an Apple embargo, we are unable to sell Leopard until 7pm EST Saturday 20th October, the official worldwide Leopard launch.

A product launch on a Saturday night? Not exactly characteristic Apple, but after the 24-hour party people crazed atmosphere of the Friday evening iPhone launch, it's possible that the retail stores will be rigged for a lively Saturday night party. Leopard-print outfits? Smash your old Survivor "Eye of the Tiger" LPs? I'm sure something fun will be in store.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
