I have discovered an unannounced feature in Leopard!
This is pretty cool.
Yesterday, Apple gave the first public demonstration of the new version
of its operating system, Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Ever since, I've been
totally geeking out - watching the preview videos, reading all I can
about it, and just generally salivating over the neat new stuff.
Today, I did something I've never done before. I "discovered" a
potentially "top secret" feature of Leopard.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog published a roundup of small
features you might have missed in the Leopard sneak peek. It's small
stuff. RSS in Mail. New interface colors in iChat. Nothing major.
However, in the comments, "Jason" noticed something interesting:
13. Speaking of unannounced strangeness, am I the only one confused by the presence of a spotlight dock icon in the 'iChat' video? Check it out during the portion of the video that demonstrates screen sharing (with the green background).
That Spotlight now gets it's own icon is no big deal, but hold the phone. What's that icon NEXT to Spotlight?
Frankly, the icon is a complete mystery. Blowing up the picture doesn't really do any good. It looks like it might be related to Dashboard or Expose, but I really don't think so.
Anyway, who was the first guy to notice this? ME!
Yeah, I'm a huge nerd. But I'm particularly good at it, eh?
You're ROCK STAR now!
I had trouble getting excited with no phone and no new rev of the mac book pro.
Do you think they'll hold back Leopard until M$ is committed on Vista? Seems like they want to insure that Vista looks stupid and clunky as soon as it comes out.
I think it's Spaces.
