Above, you can see a sneak Snow Leopard video by YouTuber, LeopardOctober. I'm not sure if, or how long it will be before Apple legal puts a stop to this video, so enjoy it while you can. (Sorry, Apple legal has since legally shut down this video, and rightfully so, and it is no longer available for viewing!)
You can see even more screenshots here, and, as well, you can read a few more details from the fine folks over at Macnn.
Al-in-all, the video and screenshots certainly look great and they personally wet my appetite for even more Snow Leopard details, details which should be finally revealed, in all their glory, early next month at Apple's WorldWide Developers Conference, which begins with a keynote by Phil Schiller on the 8th.
According to Macnn, "QuickTime X has meanwhile been given a facelift, providing the interface with a black viewer, much like the fullscreen mode in QuickTime 7.6. New functions include a Trim option in the Edit menu, a Panoramic mode in the View menu, and a Share menu that enables sharing videos through iTunes and MobileMe Gallery."
In the meantime, on another topic, my assertion that WolframAlpha is going to be big may still come to pass, but as ZDNet's Larry Dignan points out , Wolfram has problems with a lot of different types of various searches, and something that I can personally attest to. It's all a little frustrating to be sure, but then again, of course, it's still very early in the game and hopefully Wolfram will be able to 'beef up' the system in the near future. I agree with Larry when he writes:
"Overall, Wolfram/Alpha reads like an encyclopedia. It’s handy at times, but the big question is whether the search engine can break out of niche-ville. Sure, geeks like the presentation and it Wolfram/Alpha can be handy for deep dives, but the average person will want some sort of results every time. In that regard, Wolfram/Alpha may be a disappointment."
You can check out WolframAlpha for yourself here, and the Snow Leopard sneak screenshots via the links above.
And that's my 2 cents 4 this Monday, May 18, 2009

mac is the best o.s by far!
Many thanks for your comment Dan. Yes, I agree with you 100%, but both Windows and Linux have been getting better. A lot of that has to do, of course, with the lessons that they have learned and copied from OS X, such as using transparency, animated desktops, etc.
They may add their own unique twists to them, but still, without OS X most OS's would still be looking and acting much the way XP does to day - very boring!
