It's official

Jobs said that the next version of Mac OS X will be named "Snow
Leopard", and that is all he said about it during his two-hour keynote
address at the Worldwide Developers Conference. Anything else about
will be in the actual sessions, which will all be under a DNA. But I'm
sure that there will be leaks as the week goes on.

I read he also said that the new G3 iPhone's price with 8GB RAM would be
halved to $199 Jobby is feeling the pressure from Android. You guys have to
thank Linux for helping Apple back to reality.

well that will certainly cut down on leaks if they're using dna to
identify the culprit.

Apple Canada already leaked a press release on the subject, though it's
since been removed:

Apple Previews Mac OS X Snow Leopard to Developers

SAN FRANCISCO‹June 9, 2008‹Apple® today previewed Mac OS® X Snow
Leopard, which builds on the incredible success of OS X Leopard and is
the next major version of the world¹s most advanced operating system.
Rather than focusing primarily on new features, Snow Leopard will
enhance the performance of OS X, set a new standard for quality and lay
the foundation for future OS X innovation. Snow Leopard is optimized for
multi-core processors, taps into the vast computing power of graphic
processing units (GPUs), enables breakthrough amounts of RAM and
features a new, modern media platform with QuickTime® X. Snow Leopard
includes out-of-the-box support for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and is
scheduled to ship in about a year.

³We have delivered more than a thousand new features to OS X in just
seven years and Snow Leopard lays the foundation for thousands more,²
said Bertrand Serlet, Apple¹s senior vice president of Software
Engineering. ³In our continued effort to deliver the best user
experience, we hit the pause button on new features to focus on
perfecting the world¹s most advanced operating system.²

Snow Leopard delivers unrivaled support for multi-core processors with a
new technology code-named ³Grand Central,² making it easy for developers
to create programs that take full advantage of the power of multi-core
Macs. Snow Leopard further extends support for modern hardware with Open
Computing Language (OpenCL), which lets any application tap into the
vast gigaflops of GPU computing power previously available only to
graphics applications. OpenCL is based on the C programming language and
has been proposed as an open standard. Furthering OS X¹s lead in 64-bit
technology, Snow Leopard raises the software limit on system memory up
to a theoretical 16TB of RAM.

Using media technology pioneered in OS X iPhone�, Snow Leopard
introduces QuickTime X, which optimizes support for modern audio and
video formats resulting in extremely efficient media playback. Snow
Leopard also includes Safari® with the fastest implementation of
JavaScript ever, increasing performance by 53 percent, making Web 2.0
applications feel more responsive.*

For the first time, OS X includes native support for Microsoft Exchange
2007 in OS X applications Mail, iCal® and Address Book, making it even
easier to integrate Macs into organizations of any size.

*Performance will vary based on system configuration, network connection
and other factors. Benchmark based on the SunSpider JavaScript
Performance test on an iMac® 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo system running Mac
OS X Snow Leopard, with 2GB of RAM.

They just may get a real foothold in that lucrative office market. The
keynote was amazing. That iPhone is going to change the world. Never
realized it til today. Its capabilities are just staggering. It and
models like it are the future personified. A connected, seamless,
future (that can really add to your stress level!) The way iCal,
Address Book, iTunes, iPhoto, MobileMe, GPS and others are
interconnected is utter brilliance. And then today the stock goes down
4% apparently. What do they have to do to make the stock ascend on
keynote day I wonder? Does the stock market have no vision at all?
Guess not. They are more concerned with the money Right Now. So be it.
Now's the time to buy stock. I know I should. If only I could get a
few more houses on my paper route I could get 1 share. In a few months.
Of rigorous saving. This is a special time in tech history.

Actually, it split twice since then, so you'd have to quadruple.

I was SURE this time it would be OS X Housecat! :-(

Tell that to someone who's had endless grief from Leopard! I'm LOVING
the idea that Apple are going to concentrate on speed and stability in
the next release. In the meantime can I have your Mac? It obviously runs
flawlessly.

If it costs $129, I'll skip it. Heck, if it costs more than $50, I'll
skip it. But it does offer some significant changes under the hood.
