I Already Used The Obvious Joke Here

Posted in Appleology, Rants at 4:33 am

Next week, Apple is set to release the newest version of their OS X operating system, code-named “Leopard”. (Actually, I suppose it’s no longer strictly speaking a code-name, as it’s pretty much the de facto marketing word for the 10.5 version’s box.) Akin to Microsoft’s release of Windows Vista late last year/early this year, many computer users are facing the very difficult decision: should I stay, or should I go?

( The gag is ‘Beware of the Leopard’, for reference. » )

This post really doesn’t serve much in the way of a purpose; just my musings on the impending release. I’m kind of curious to admit that I’d love to see the commercials for Leopard, to see if they’re as ever-present as the previous “I’m a Mac” commercials have been, but come to think of it, those have sort of dropped off, haven’t they? Also, what do ya think of the new cut system for the blog? (EDIT: Fixed a minor glitch with the cuts; they should be more obvious as cuts now. I’m still working on some more CSS trickery to make them even more obvious.)
