Nothing’s Moving

Apple pushed Leopard back to October instead of spring because the iPhone needed the developers. That’s the story, anyway. Everyone online is upset—they were counting on it to finally make Windows Vista look ridiculous.

I’m frustrated for a different reason. I’d been planning to use Leopard as an excuse to gut my Mac mini completely, fresh install, clear out all the accumulated junk. Now that’s delayed until October, which is just disappointing.

The bigger thing is that Apple dropped Computer from their company name, and you can feel that shift. The iPhone is the golden child now. Mac users used to be Apple’s whole thing, and that’s changing. They’re showing off some Leopard features in June to keep people happy while they wait, but it’s not the same.

Maybe this is a very late April Fools joke and nothing matters anyway.
