Kickin' Bootay


Check out the Keynote addressing Apple's upcoming operating system, named Leopard. It's an hour and a half, so do it when you have the time.


It's got some pretty good stuff in there ... Time Machine to automatically back up your entire system (cool 3D UI as well); Web Clips to create your own widgets; Notes and To-Do's in your Mail account to keep you on track (it's a bigger deal than it sounds ... and it syncs with your calendar, duh); Mail now has stationery you can drop your own photos into; iChat has cool 3D or video backgrounds; you can show pretty much any slideshow (Keynote, Pages, iPhoto, etc.) over Video iChat with whomever you are talking to; and there are a few sucker punches on Windows in the first thirty minutes. That's gonna leave a mark.

Apple's got Leopard. And Microsoft has a cat—a copycat.

I thought the side by side comparison of Leopard and Vista was pretty funny. I saw some pictures of banners they had up that said "Hasta la vista, Vista."

"Gentelmen, Start your photocopiers."
