16 Oct 2009Filed under: Software , How-tos , Tips and tricks , Internet Tools Before Snow Leopard was released, we were enjoying GrabUp for super-simple sharing of screenshots. It was a great little utility: After a brief setup, it automatically sent any screenshot to its servers (or your own) and added the resulting URL to the Clipboard. It was fast and very useful.

Creig Sherburne has discovered that in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard , however, camera/application management woes are tackled via an Apple utility that comes with the system.

But what if you needed to prepare a document in another language, say for a college Spanish assignment? In that case, you’d end up with a document with pretty much every single word underlined in red, with no reliable way to spell check it

17 Aug 2009Filed under: OS , Software , How-tos , Universal Binary , Snow Leopard With Snow Leopard, the next version of Mac OS X, expected rumored to ship out any week day now , it’s worth looking at one thing that can make upgrading to 10.6 a lot easier (at least on an Intel Mac-as most PowerPC Mac users should know by now, Leopard 10.5 is the end of the road for you: Snow Leopard is Intel-only). Snow Leopard is mostly about optimizing Leopard’s performance rather than introducing new features. Part of that optimization is that OS X 10.6 is expected to save users several gigabytes of space on their hard drives versus a 10.5 installation. And part of the reason that Snow Leopard is able to pare down that much space is that Rosetta is now an optional installation . Introduced in 2005, not long after Apple announced its transition to Intel processors, Rosetta is a dynamic translator that allows legacy PowerPC applications to run on Intel processors.

15 Jun 2009Filed under: Hardware , Hacks , Macbook Pro , MacBook , MacBook Air , Snow Leopard Mac Life and Gizmodo are both reporting that Snow Leopard will add multi-touch gestures to all older MacBooks and MacBook Pros. This has gotten a lot of people’s hopes up that three- and four-finger multi-touch gestures will be back-ported to all Apple portables that previously did not have them
Filed under: Desktops , Software , Apple , Snow Leopard It’s not news. It was just less than a year ago that we initially announced that Snow Leopard would likely be Intel-only. Still, it was a report based off an initial developer’s release of the software, and PowerPC users prayed that maybe it was a mistake. Maybe Apple would change its mind and toss a bone at these faithful users of Macs-gone-by. But, the emerging reality showed that Apple has left its PowerPC days behind
Filed under: OS , Software Update , Apple , Snow Leopard For the ultra low price of $29 (for existing Leopard users), Apple gave a deeper look into the upcoming Snow Leopard release — slated for some time in September. “We’ve built on the success of Leopard and created an even better experience for our users from installation to shutdown,” said Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “Apple engineers have made hundreds of improvements so with Snow Leopard your system is going to feel faster, more responsive and even more reliable than before.” Here’s more highlights of the Snow Leopard release..
