I can’t wait no more to get 10.6… Here is a small collection of the “release dates” according to many known Apple bloggers:
- Daring Fireball John Gruber says August 28th.
- MacDailyNews: Friday, August 28th.
- TheAppleBlog reports rumors about August 24th.
- TUAW is supporting what Apple claimed: September.
- MacWorld: September too.
- LifeHacker: September too.
- MacRumors’ Forums: September 25th 2009 (Friday) for the release & “New iMacs released on 22nd September, 2009 with Snow Leopard.”
- Some other blogs thought it was June 8th…
I’d like it to be released as soon as possible, and we all Mac Fanatics know how long are 3 days of waiting… but I do believe it will be released and shipped in middle-September.
Because it seems there will be an Apple Event on September 7th…
Apple really wants to focus on the foundations and stability of the system with Snow Leopard, this means, to me, it can’t be released before September since it’s not about design and UI this time but it’s the Core.
You can see for example, the following image showing how slim the applications will be on SL compared to Leopard:
This information is not that recent, but, to me it is an event I was waiting for a long time ago.
This is the first version of Skype on our favorite mobile phone, and it is still a bit buggy (it crashes often), but it is also very promising (the sound quality is awesome).
You can find it easily on the AppStore (number 1 in the free applications section).
On monday january 13 of 2009, Microsoft decided to make free transfers of your emails (hotmail.com or live.com) to any email application or iPhone.
As a result, no need for httpMail or MacFreePOP anymore.
I’m going to configure my account in the rest of this post.

A new Beta of AOL Radio 2.0 requiring at least Mac OS 10.5.2 is available.
It’s still the same good app referencing radios by genres, but it also has some new features like showing the cover of the current song instead of its icon in the dock and still the Growl-like notifications when changing the station.
You can download AOL Radio 2.0b1 here
AOL Radio is also available as a free App for iPhone/iPod Touch.
You can get it from the iTunes Music Store or directly from the iPhone’s AppStore.
This version is really slick and is the Apple Design Winner in 2008’s iPhone Developer Showcase.
This free application, Stacks In Da Place, is the easiest way to make your Stacks lokk cool.
All you have to do is to drag and drop a Stack Icon, like one of the great creations available here, and it will create a real box with a stack of files in it!
I just discovered a free application which simply relooks Leopard’s Dock.
You can get LeopardDocks App here, and download Docks here.
Once your Dock is re-designed, no need to keep the app running.
This is my favorite Dock right now :
Here it is, finally.
The latest version of iTunes 7.7 brings the App Store.
Most of the applications are free; and that is an amazing thing for iPhone owners we are!
I’m so happy to see almost all the applications I use daily on my Mac available now for the iPhone like NetNewsWire, Twitterrific, or AIM!
The rumors were right, iTunes 7.7 came with a free utility that enables you to remotely control iTunes from your iPod Touch or iPhone.
No applications to customize the look (icons etc..) of the iPhone yet, but it would be amazing to have a CandyBar for the iPhone!
You can download iTunes 7.7 from here.
The blog Hongkiat made a compilation of 60 awesome wallpapers for your computer through a selection between images available on most of the Apple/Mac related websites/blogs.
Download these free Leopard wallpapers here.
