Found the first one by luck, as I was looking for a document (an act) on my Mac: “décret 87-529″, and I found in the results the result of “87-529=-442″.

Another very cool feature on Leopard! I’m already addicted to this one!

Also wanted to mention, Spotlight now also displays dictionary definitions of the words you’re looking for! AMAZING!

Very Cool Theme for PlayStation 3 users who wants to have the Leopard touch in their video game’s station’s navigation.

Direct Download of the theme here.

Not often updated, VLC remains one of the essential applications every Mac (or PC) user should have, since it’s able to play any Video format “out of the box”; without 3rd Party plugins or codes to be installed!
Version 0.8.6d fixes some bugs and brings a better compatibility with Leopard.

Get the multi-format player’s update here.

It’s a request made by a visitor. Couldn’t say no, because the idea is very interesting.
In this post, I’m going to “list” all the howtos and tutorials I wrote previously on Leopard: from the installation to networking.
This “guide” is mainly intended to people who (like me) did an archive & install of Apple’s latest Operating System.

1. Things to do before installing Mac OS X Leopard
2. It would be important to know which of your applications aren’t Leopard ready (example: if you are working on a non Leopard ready application, it would be safer to wait before installing 10.5)
3. You May already have heard about the Leopard’s Blue Screen Of Death.. You have to read this to solve/avoid having that issue
4. Installing Leopard in Target Disk Mode may be required for some Mac users, here’s the tutorial
5. Now, Leopard’s installed, there will be a permissions problem (if you did an Archive & Install); for example, your password will be asked every time you want to delete, move, edit a document; here’s the solution to fix your permissions.
6. Some people finds the new Dock distractive or just didn’t like it, here’s the how to revert the 3D dock to a 2D (Tiger) looking one.
7. And finally, another “common issue”, is that intermittent internet connection problem: some has their internet connection often cut down, some others have a lower speed connection, this is what I did to “fix” as much as I could this problem.

And here it is!

We (Leopard users) were all waiting for it, and here it is! Mac OS 10.5.1, this Update is recommended for all users running Mac OS X Leopard and includes general operating system fixes that enhance the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
