Waiting for Leopard to pounce

ByVanessa Tan

According to rumours, Mac OS X Leopard (aka version 10.5) will be out on 26 October 2007. That means we can upgrade the two Macs at home, and my sister will be able to run Final Cut Studio which we purchased a couple months ago (only then to realise it wouldn’t run on our Mac OS 10.3.9).
It will be a big jump for me, I suppose. I don’t have fancy widgets because that came with OS 10.4. So I expect to be pleasantly surprised.
Hopefully the upgrade process won’t kill me. Better backup all my Logic Pro songs. Or else I’ll really cry.
More updates: Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac will be coming out, too.

    Calling all Mac experts! I’m having the same problem that Andy Budd had – the family iMac has been unable to get past the startup screen. The blue loading bar looks like it’s 95% complete but it just hangs there. Even when starting in Safe mode, it hangs at exactly the same spot. I can’t…

    Don’t get me wrong – I love my iPhone. However, I think [Xiaxue’s iPhone review](http://xiaxue.blogspot.com/2008/04/apple-users-hate-me.html) is totally hilarious and should be taken in the right spirit. She has a point about the fingernails part, but overall her critique is nothing to get so worked up about. As much as I am a fan of Apple…

  • My iPhone 3G!

    Yes, I finally did it. I am now the proud owner of a 3G iPhone, 16GB. I chose black, even though the 8GB model only comes in black, because while white looks unusual, I might get tired of it. Black is strong and suits me fine. My SingTel salesperson let me take photos as he…

  • Fairer App ratings

    ByVanessa Tan

    Apple has restored fairness to a system that I felt was being abused. The App Store, which allows users to browse and download Apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch, [no longer accepts ratings from those who haven’t used the Apps before](http://www.macrumors.com/2009/02/26/apple-removes-old-non-customer-reviews-from-app-store/). I noticed the loophole in the system myself, when reading a review about…

  • Returning my MacBook Pro

    ByVanessa Tan

    America has a glorious ‘return’ culture that I’m not accustomed to. Still, I have a good reason to return my newly-acquired MacBook Pro. At the Apple Store, we had a big discussion with our salesman on whether to get a glossy or matte screen. As our salesman was also an electronic musician, he understood how…

  2. Yeah, I can’t wait for Leopard to come out. Desktop always too cluttered with files. Looking forward to be able to ‘tidy’ it up with a mouse click. Sad to Virtual Desktop but it’ll happen sooner or later.
    And the only reason I have MS Office on my mac is to read them office attachments. Which looks like I’ll have to get the 2008 version cause the current version can’t read the latest Office for PC if they don’t save it with backwards compatibility. Ggrrrr……
