Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger to Arrive in April
Silly Burrito writes "Think Secret is reporting that Tiger will be out in April with an event on April 1st and it should be out in stores by April 15th. If this is true, I can finally get both the Mini and a new Powerbook, as I've been waiting for Tiger to be released before I do so. Let's just hope that this isn't a bad April Fools Joke!"
You don't wanna get sued for posting trade secrets.

I wonder if Apple will delay the release because of this leak? That'd suck!
That it's mentioned on on april fools, and released on tax day?
I don't get it.
Apart from Tony the Tiger is an *American* character, you moron.
It looks like you're voicing a dissenting opinion.
What would you like to do?
* Go to your nearest LUG meeting for reprogramming.
* Buy a large number of Apple stocks in atonement.
* Get bitchslapped.
* Get modded up now as Interesting and modded down later as Troll.

$129 ? Screw that! It's a "dot" release! It should be free! It's just a small improvement!
So are you going to pay $150 in 6 months when they come out with V 10.4.1 ?
Are you Mac people stupid or what?
Pay rent to Apple because you own their closed hardware, IDIOTS!
Apple... um... didn't win against journalism. Hell, the fact that bloggers are or are not journalists didn't even enter the equation there. The Judge left that to Daily Show skits and CNN talking heads.
Heck, Apple didn't even really try and stop Nick from posting Apple-related news. What they did do is compel him to reveal his sources, which were illegally sharing Trade Secrets.
This was pretty clear from, you know, the fucking artciles linked of the thread you posted.
Crawl back in your hole.

APPLE DOESN'T EVEN NEED A 4TH STEP!!!
I've seen the preview release of Tiger...
It's grrrrrrrrrrreat!

the difference is that apple actually wants their laptops to look good. the P4 laptops look like somebody stole the dashboard out of a cadilac and glued on an LCD.
My problem? I was perfectly gruntled, until some numbnuts came by and dissed me.
"when MS 'upgrades' something it costs twice as much, has almost no new functionality, and is usually less secure.consider the upgrade price for Windows XP and imo the only thing worth having was the bluetooth support."
What do you mean? WindowsXP came with blue titlebars, a totally reorganised control panel, and a handy program to read zip files. Totally worth £150, everyone should buy it!
Maybe you should get a girlfriend instead. Wouldn't that be something !
When's the release date?
ME already had that.
/grammar pedant
I already had that.
That's perfectly acceptable caveman dialect. Damn US-Centric posters.
That Apple's OS updates follow the same naming conventions as Wehrmacht tanks? If 10.5 is called Maus then we're going to be in trouble.

But Safari has the most important bit of Google nicely integrated, so we don't mind so much that it doesn't have the roolbar.

This is actually starting to become a problem for me because I can no longer justify buying a new Mac. I'd like to buy a flash new PowerBook with its light sensitive led's on the keyboard, built in SuperDrive, bundled with iLife, and other nifty software, but my 550Mhz TiBook just runs so damn well.
I want another machine, but Apple's accursed habit of optimising code every major release means I don't need another machine.
Damn you Apple. Damn you all.
