A reader over at AppleInsider going by the screen name of inewton1974 has pointed the site to an annotated Flickr album containing roughly four dozen Snow Leopard screenshots published earlier last week. The pictures show numerous tweaks in Snow Leopard's Finder, the unique features of QuickTime X and more.
There were 5.5 years of PowerPC compatible Mac OS X releases after the Intel Macs arrived. First: January 10, 2006: 10.4.4 (Tiger) shipped on the first Intel Macs (unsupported as of September 2009) Last: July 25, 2011: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) was the last PowerPC compatible Mac OS X release (Unsupported as of February 25, 2014). It took many elements of its design from the earlier Reach for the Stars, but expanded on many of that game's basic themes while taking advantage of the larger memory and better graphics available on the Mac platform. Version 5 is available for iOS, Android, Classic Mac OS, and Mac OS X versions before 10.7 (there is no universal binary). My workhorse is a Mac mini running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, the last version that can run PowerPC apps like AppleWorks and Microsoft Office 2004. It's at maximum memory and has an SSD. It's the Mid 2007 model, a 2.0 GHz computer with 3 GB of RAM. Macintel: The Good Is the Enemy of the Best. Daniel Knight - 2005.06.10. The good is the enemy of the best. Repeat that to yourself as you think about Apple's decision to adopt Intel's Pentium architecture for June 2007 and later models. The good is the enemy of the best. VHS buried Beta. They've added new enemy units, upgraded arsenals, enhanced the graphics, added six different game modes, and they have a smarter AI. The game weighs in at $19.95, and requires: Mac OS X 10.3.9 or Better. Intel GMA950 or better video card; 384MB of RAM; 1.83Ghz CPU (Intel or PowerPC) Compatible with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Nom, Nom, Nom.
The reader, who is also the source of the screenshots in question, notes that Snow Leopard's setup assistant now warns users when they don't supply a password hint. QuickLook capabilities have been built into universal Open and Save dialog windows, the poster outlines. He continues to point out to more interesting stuff occurring with the new Cocoa-based Finder, revealing that the Clean Up command used to rearrange icons into place now 'slides' or shifts icons abruptly in what is described as 'a neat visual effect.' Snow Leopar's Finder also adds a slider control for resizing icons akin to iPhoto's slider for resizing photo thumbnails.
Most noteworthy is that the QuickTime preference pane has been removed in OS X 10.6, alongside any preferences from within the player itself. This, AppleInsider notes, continues to fuel speculation that Apple is likely to eliminate the Pro version of QuickTime in favor of a built-in QuickTime X Player sporting the full set (play, save, capture etc.) of pro-grade features. The site then goes to post relevant screenshots based on inewton1974's observations. Those include:
