Apple’s Newest OS is set to launch sometime this September just in time for the Holiday Season and at the same time, crash the Windows 7 party.
Many are talking about Snow Leopard not being a new OS, just being a huge update of features under the hood.
Unlike Microsoft’s Windows 7, which is a complete new OS built almost from the ground up, Snow Leopard is just Leopard taken to the 64bit extreme. Snow Leopard will genuinely streamline multicore processor technology.
It will however pack a handfull of features like a new Finder, Quicktime and other surprises under the hood.
What do you think of Snow Leopard?
I know, I’m an Apple fan boy. Now that I’ve downloaded it, I think it’s better if I share my own thoughts.
I guess this is not a major OS overhaul. Apple just iron out some rough spots while adding a couple of features. The only new feature that I love is COPY & PASTE! FINALLY. That and landscape keyboard!

Voice Notes might be useful while I’m driving. However, the real feature I’m waiting for is MMS. However, the douchebags at AT&T can’t seem to get with the program!
Oh well!
I need to play with it a bit more…
Today iPhone 3.0 was released andas everyone is downloading it. I can’t personally download it yet, as Im still stuck at work until 5:00pm PST. However, any thoughts on it are appreciated and I hope everyone out there can enjoy it.
I will be downloading it tonight and will share more on it as time goes by.
After installing Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackpole (Netbook Remix Version) and actually being excited that wireless worked out of the box I was very excited. That excitement lasted almost a whole 24 hours until I came home from work today and I ran a series of OS Updates.
After the updates, instead of enhancing the expirience, it degraded it. First of all my touchpad was unresponsive. It went wherever except the place I was trying to move to in the screen. Right click has moved to another location where I still haven’t discovered. My keyboard layout only works on US standard…no ñ, á,é, etc!
After an hour of googling for possible fixes for these and the sound issues, I have found no real solutions or workarounds. I got tired and I turned it off. I surfed Eeeuser.com for a while, but no real posts that gave me something to work with. I hope Ubuntu and Canonical reads this and other bloggers or Asus Eee users.
Any real ideas are welcome. Drop me a line or leave a comment.

Just today, I downloaded Jaunty Jackpole from www.ubuntu.com and I installed it on my Asus Eee 900HA. Everything works out of the box, except the volume seems pretty low. However, the netbook remix version seems to boot up in roughly 26 seconds.
I find it extremely practical that Ubuntu decided to update the Netbook Remix and add all the things it was missing. Although it still needs a lot of work, Netbook Remix is by far the best OS out there right now (including the Eeebuntu variants). Here is my desktop as of right now.
