Attention Mac Folks: Snow Leopard is Coming
Yes, that’s right, folks:
As of right now, you can pre-order OS X 10.6, named “Snow Leopard”, from the online Apple [AAPL] Store, to ship on August 28, 2009.
Any takers?

The Upcoming Apple Mac Tablet
After months of fevered speculation, some trickling of “info” (real, or fake?) has been appearing across various news sources and repeaters about an Apple [AAPL] Mac tablet, perhaps using the P.A. Semi series of PowerPC CPUs and a screen size comparable to the no-longer-produced 12″ PowerBook, to finally fill in the gap between the iPod touch and the 13.3″ MacBook.
Until this new form factor appears, you’ll have to satisfy yourself with the Axiotron Modbooks.

The irksome thing about Cyberduck’s update mechanism is that, after it moves the old copy to the Trash, it is sometimes impossible to clear the Trash because of some vestiges of abandoned memory access left (file handles, anyone?). The memory mapped itself is has lost its references, so the system cannot reclaim it, and it is unallocatable to other applications.
Wonder why it happens so often to Cyberduck but not other applications with update mechanisms incorporated into their code?

Mac + Apple KB != Mac + PC KB != PC + PC KB …
I think I’ve figured it out: I have a mental image of what the “ideal” pairing of computer-to-KB is, and whenever the KB is in front of me, regardless of whether it’s a Mac, PC, Ultra, or even a generic Linux box, I try to type as if the machine normally associated with that KB layout is actually in front of me…
So if a traditional SPARC keyboard is set up with its dongle-converter and attached via KVM switch to a Mac, a PC, and an Ultra, I’ll try to type as if on an Ultra– everywhere! Which, of course, leads to plenty of typos and slowdowns as I try to correct the mistyping.
Curious…

The excellent surprise during the WWDC keynote, which appeals to more of the general public, is Apple’s [AAPL] revamped Mac notebook line.
The 13.3″ aluminum MacBook is finally renamed to what it really should be: MacBook Pro. Aligned with the seemingly minor renaming is the very-major hardware spec upgrades. The other two size form factors, the 17″ and 15.4″, also received hardware spec improvements.
The 13.3″ polycarb MacBook White was already updated several days prior, with its own hardware spec upgrade.
Even the MacBook Air got a price drop and hardware spec upgrade.

Hey, has anybody been playing around with the new mini server edition, or the new quad-core iMacs?
