A few days ago , we reported on somerumored OS X Leopard features . Those turned out to be fake as Uncle Tom ’s toupee . But , the literal features unveiled at today ’s WWDC Keynote turned out to be almost as yummy . If you ’ve miss the presentment , we ’ve gathered everything we could about the new OS — including video and image — and we cat it up into this military post . chute to read more .

Time Machine
Leopard ’s most basal concept is Time Machine , a way to back up your electronic computer without really going to the hassle of indorse up your estimator . The system journals every change on your phonograph recording , give you access to older edition of your work . Want a data file you just overwrote or deleted ? Use Time Machine ’s web browser app to scroll back a few days , then plume your data from oblivion . Of of course , if your drive goes poo - poo , your Time Machine is useless . We ’re impressed , but we ’d be more impressed if Time Machine could go forward in time to when our web log berth are already write , 10 hours from now .
Time Machine can backup , on the fly , to an external or web’d drive . Here ’s the officialApple video .
post
I personally utilise Mail , and I ’m extremely frantic over two pinch that ’ll appeal to organizing freaks . The first is the Notes boxful . How often do you send yourself an e-mail as reminder note ? The new Mail has a dedicated box that formats Notes messages so they face like Post Its . The Other function is the ToDo tilt . Mail permit you play up text in any app — even document filing cabinet in Finder7mdash;and move around them into thing on your ToDo list . Sweeeeeeet . Mail also does stationary now , in HTML . Just like Outlook Express did 5 age ago . The guide admit range from photo album to ecards . They’re nice . Here ’s avideo .
iChat
It ’s fargin awesome . We ’re talk app screen - sharing over iChat video ( so you may show off slideshows , or powerpoint , or even videos in Quicktime . ) Then , there ’s iChat ’s background . The backdrop can overwrite your messy room with a photo of a beach , or of Times Square . The coolest affair ? iChat supports video background — one example they had was of someone appearing to be riding a rollercoaster . Then , there ’s Screen Sharing , which I did n’t get word Steve verbalise about during the keynote . I strike it ’s a VNC character of removed control . Apple’svideo here .
Spaces
All the fresh Macs support gamy Re LCDs . But even the heavy LCDs get crowd after you open a spreadsheet , a mail program , and a web web browser . So that ’s where Spaces comes in . Spaces lay your app windows out across 4 virtual desktops that you’re able to speedily flip-flop between . you could soar up out to see all 4 , then haul apps between each virtual desktop . BTW , this has been around for a long time in Linux machines . Got ta love how Apple criminate M$ft of copying , while they ’ve copied third party apps like Konfabulator since Tiger .
Dashboard and gismo
Dashboard , if you do n’t bonk , is a programme that runs useful mini apps called gismo : They can check the weather , check stock prices , rock some canonical computer action , and load more . ( Here’sApple ’s directory of Widgets . ) What ’s young ? A Widget creator that seems more suitable for developer , and a elbow room to turn any part of a webpage into a Widget . Eh .
Spotlight
Spotlight is OS X ’s search service that can determine not only file , but paradigm from iPhoto , email from Mail , and contacts from Address Book . You get the idea — you may search your system for whatever . What ’s new here is support for searching Mac ’s across the internet , and support for extra search phrase structure . Meh .
iCal
The big new matter about iCal is group calendar support , using the CalDAV touchstone . Using a compatible WebDAV waiter , you may automatically schedule meetings during times when everyone is available , and mechanically request encounter rooms . ( So , we ’re one step nigher to iCal being utile for workplace use . )
maternal Controls for Net - Access
Parents can circumscribe internet memory access on machines by outside ascendancy . It was n’t announced at the Keynote , but Giz found this sidebar on the Leopard website .
Bundled Apps
Bootcamp , the software that help Windows Machines run on Macintel machine , come out of beta and will ship with Leopard . So will Front Row , Apple ’s medium web internet browser , and Photo booth .
Core Animation
Core Animation is a developer tool for scripting graphics . It ’s well explained by watching an instance of aprogram .
64 snatch Support
Leopard is Apple ’s new operating scheme , due to hit the shelves in the outflow of 2007 . The OS has been written tofully support 64 - bit appsand the Quad Xeon 64 - bit chips in the novel Mac Pro desktops . And at the same time run quondam 32 - act apps . All without emulation , which should mean that the new Macs will have software program to take reward of their native computer architecture .
In the Wild
And today , developer at WWDC are walking out with an early variant of the OS . If you ’re lucky , you could find written matter in the state of nature .
