Leopard

Posted by JohnnyUtah Oct. 29, 2007 @ 7:32 AM EDT

Those of us with macs here have been installing Leopard and so far it's "right as rain"..whatever that means.

Honestly, I know apple are trying to swoon over the windows crowd with these whiz-bang effects in the operating system but I find they're usually just ugly, time wasting, or just god damn frustrating all together. If you've tried being productive with the Dock magnification effects you may know what I'm talking about. Anybody that isn't a soccer mom turns that shit off right away.

That brings us to ol' leopard though. I won't spout off my opinion as fact like so many apple bloggers that should be SHOT through their black horn rimmed glasses, but I'll list em off..good and bad.

-The new dock is ugly. A 3d shelf? Really? When it's shrunk down to the size most of my graphics brethren have it, it's REDICULOUSLY ugly. Luckily apple included a much simpler, more tasteful dock. THAT ISN'T EVEN IN THE DOCK OPTIONS - THANKS APPLE. If you're not a fan of the terminal, then download this simple app and you can easily switch between the two. It's identical to the way the dock looks when you stick it on the left or right of your screen. Anyways, much better.

-It's faster

-All the new default folder/system icons are bland as hell. I know, minor complaint since I change em anyways - but I just don't see how some of this stuff comes out of apple like this.

-ichat has a lot of improvements, but since I don't usually do tabbed chatting, online invisiblity, or video chat (with possible R2-D2 star wars effects like a douche?) it's pretty much the same for me.

- I don't like stacks in the dock for several reasons. If you haven't tried leopard I know you have no idea what I'm talking about.

-and Flash still works thank christ.

anyways, if any of you installed it feel free to...say something useful here. OR something.

oh by the way, go look at BOB'S DESKTOP and by all means speak your mind because it's ruining my day.

Just got it a couple of days ago. All good, but as I have Flash 8 and can't move it onto my new iMac (20 inches.... my penis, not the screen), I've gotta fork out $700 to get CS3 which is shitty and I'm MAD AS HELL AND NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE

Seriously though, I've still got the serial key for flash 8 but I have no idea where to download the flash 8 trial anymore now it's gone all adobe and shit.

This isn't so much a dig at Leopard, or even relevant to it actually.

I have a Macbook pro and Windows. I love them both but the cleanliness of Mac wins hands down. There apples computers are just so pristine in just about every way.


Oct. 29, 2007 | 1:19 PM Splurda says:

we TOLD you to go PC! >:(


Oct. 29, 2007 | 3:55 PM SardonicSamurai says:

I use a laptop for all of my needs.

I dislike having a 15 inch screen :(

I like the Angry Faic desktop! Where can I get one like that? I have Angry Faic stickers all over my room, now I need the desktop.

Oct. 29, 2007 | 4:30 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

download section buddy


Oct. 29, 2007 | 4:20 PM WishStar says:

Your desktop is sexy, unlike Bob's clutterd one.

Oct. 29, 2007 | 6:56 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i so agree

Greatest user page icon ever made!!

Now where would that ultimate pumpkin come from? ;)

Seriously though. that is really sweet. i like how you animated it. it makes me feel special. haha

Oct. 29, 2007 | 6:56 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

id just liked it THAT much


Oct. 29, 2007 | 7:29 PM Duh-Boss says:

Yep! I've definitely decided that you are my favorite one!

Congratulations, you're my favorite one!


Oct. 29, 2007 | 7:34 PM Nick2410 says:

Man... it makes me wish i chose an Apple iMac now instead of a normal jack of all trades laptop... which is alright, Vista seems ok, but Leopard just looks so much more.... nice? cool? simple? whatever you wanna call it... Apple have always had the edge over microsoft for style... Although Vista is ok, i'm not saying it's crap...
Haha, both of them own.. lets leave it at that...


Oct. 29, 2007 | 8:24 PM The-evil-bucket says:

Apple is a good company, but it's starting to try to be Microsoft. It's like Pepsi and Coke, there should be both, and they should both be different. Also, your desktop is much, much better.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 12:43 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

all companies are out to make money, however apple so fat still has their shit together...for now.


Oct. 29, 2007 | 8:42 PM That-Is-Bull says:

My only complaint is that they got rid of the signature rounded menu bar corners. Found an <a href="http://www.manytricks.com/displapertu re/">app</a> to fix that though. Everything else is fantastic.

Also, fuck you.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 12:42 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

haha that's you're 2 pixels are missing complaint


Oct. 29, 2007 | 8:44 PM ZombieswithJetpacks says:

Bob's desktop is Dino Dick ugly. Yours is sexy. Also nothing can beat flash, except maybe... well a few things can beat flash, but not for animating, is that a real pumpkin by the way.


Oct. 29, 2007 | 8:58 PM That-Is-Bull says:

fucking gay fucking shit they need to warn that you can't fucking use HTML or some shitting fuck, shit.


Oct. 29, 2007 | 9:56 PM Nuke15 says:

So... buy it?

Cause I'm on the fence about using my precious money on something that's getting Maddox like responses (all angry complaints sprinkled with sarcasm) or mac fan boy praise which should be saved for when the apple church opens.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 12:42 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

honestly, you don't NEED it.

its just kinda makes some thing better...alot of things i never use.

I don't use photobooth, videochat, front row, etc...


Oct. 29, 2007 | 10:25 PM That-Is-Bull says:

Buy what? Leopard upgrade or a Mac?


Oct. 29, 2007 | 11:49 PM SkeletonKing says:

I used to work at an Apple call center. I handled the orders of people. When they received a product that didn't work I would set up a return. Other times I would tell them the status of their product along its journey to them. 99% of the time however the calls would go like this.

MORON: "I got my iPod and it doesn't have my engraving." [Add varying level of anger]
ME: "Have you taken it out of the package?"
MORON: "No."
ME: "Take it out and look on the back."
MORON: "....................................
.....................Oh."
*long pause*
MORON: "Well on the website it shows it on the front."
ME: "No it doesn't."
MORON: "............................... Ok well thanks bye." *click*

As annoyed as I would get, I would at least always do my best to help the customers out. Other employees however weren't so nice. I saw people getting transferred to lines that weren't used for anything so they would be on hold forever, replacements intentionally set up wrong, wrong information given because it would get the customer satisfied and off the phone quicker, etc. It's pretty brutal and there's really nothing done about it.

In short, enjoy your Mac and pray you never have to send it back to Apple for anything.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 12:40 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

luckily i have an inside man at one of the apple stores.

real men use DOS

now if you'll excuse me, I need to type a paragraph of code to make a white pixel move across the screen. I BID YOU GOOD DAY.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 4:14 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

(and by programmed i mean copied code out of computer magazines back then)

Oct. 30, 2007 | 4:25 PM SaltshakerClock says:

nice mac, I like my dock on the side, easier to get to. My desktop has ONE folder with everything in it.


Oct. 30, 2007 | 4:57 PM Androu1 says:

Now,that's a nice looking desktop.You can look at it without getting a headache.I may post mine...if anyone fucking cares...

Oct. 30, 2007 | 9:15 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

I..I care
wait no i dont


Oct. 30, 2007 | 6:36 PM molkman says:

Just wondering, but are you using Flash 8? If so, I'm glad it works.

Oct. 30, 2007 | 9:15 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

using 9 now


Oct. 31, 2007 | 2:04 AM Bolo says:

I Bought Leopard, but I'm relegated to using it solely on the PowerBook G4 that I bought a year ago, and not my main eMac, which I bought four years ago.

Why, you ask? Because my eMac is a measly 800 MHz PowerPC. Woe is me.

Ah well, it looks spiffy on the PowerBook. Dunno about that dock, though. And what's up with the trash can icon's reflection on the dock? It's not realistic at all.

Gerschwin.


Oct. 31, 2007 | 4:20 PM NessMasta says:

Sweetness. I know that Leopard is not much different than Tiger, but I want to get it for the organizing feature and that Time Machine application... and Boot Camp, so I can also run Windows Vista on me MAC.


Oct. 31, 2007 | 7:09 PM tankmang says:

nice mac

Random pity comment!


Nov. 1, 2007 | 7:19 PM Brentron says:

You are very right about Bob's desktop, i write this with a small headach, now i cant possibly work on my game for more than half an hour...oh well. Your desktop strikes me as being...empty. Put some stuff in the lower right corner or something. Your organization makes me envy you though.


Nov. 1, 2007 | 9:05 PM Flashsubmit says:

Ive never had a mac, i guess i don't really care which i use unless i use a mac and it sucks.
My desktop was clean now it has 153 icons on it, ill fix that when i feel like it.

found this funny:

Nov. 1, 2007 | 10:16 PM Mixed-Studios says:

I use mac but i haven't downloaded leopard yet cause honestly i'm fine with the newest one before it. But its nice to see another person with mac ;D


Nov. 1, 2007 | 11:22 PM Zack says:

I've known you answered this question so many times but... what makes Mac's so much better than Pc's

You use a mac!?

I just got Leopard, it rocks man!


Nov. 3, 2007 | 9:26 AM CNRHKick says:

I'm always gonna be a Mac fan. Even though I don't have one, I know it's much better than Windows.


Nov. 3, 2007 | 4:55 PM UberBarista says:

About the dock.... you could have simple put "defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES" - without quotation marks in Terminal to turn that crap off.

Much easier than downloading a third party application.

Nov. 4, 2007 | 2:19 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

you think remembering and typing in that bullshit over and over is easier than clicking a button to do it for me?

I'll go with the app

I usually skip the odd X.version iinstalls, myself. All of my Macs have only run 10.2 & 10.4. And I really suggest everyone try the same... usually the odd numbered versions of OS X are test trials of new stuff, and a surprising amount gets cut, or completely redone in the next even-numbered version. Just a thought.

& LOL @ all the windoze fanbois H8H8H8

Nov. 4, 2007 | 2:20 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i think you just totally pulled that fact out of your ass

leopard has way more new features then any of the others

He's gonna have a hard time browsing through, the icons just blend in.

Sexy AngryFace desktop you have there.

Nov. 10, 2007 | 1:37 PM Cheekyvincent says:

besk desktop by far, yours is the least cluttered...


Nov. 12, 2007 | 2:32 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

partially, yes


Nov. 15, 2007 | 12:53 AM pigtailsboy says:

Just noticed not stamper these icons are. D'be neat to see some other artists try their hand at design around the site other than just the one, if only to see the results.

How does one organize a desktop?


Nov. 29, 2007 | 9:38 PM The-Yokai says:

I can't stand Tiger, much less Leopard. My brother has a mac and I HATE IT. Apple thinks they're so goddamn special with the sleek-looking, special- effects-rich interfaces and such. Not only can I not stand Tiger, I can't stand the overly minimalistic nature of macs in general. Some of us find a use for a page-down key...
Eventually, Apple will release a little white plastic card the size of a matchbox. It will have one button. Depending on how you brush your finger over the button, it will do different things. This card will have the ability to access the internet, play music, use as a phone, communicate with alien planets, and microwave pizzas. I FUCKING HATE APPLE.
Thanks, Jeff, for giving me a space to release the rant I've been holding in since the iPhone came out.

did u make the pictures and icons for everybody
