my legal copy came in yesterday, is it alright to post shots yet? shapeshifter doesnt work with tiger yet, nor do any other haxies.

WSX does.

Yeah its ok to post shots i guess as it has shipped and lots of people have it
- Looking forward to seeing the widgets as apparently theres loads on the net :o

someone sent me the torrent, but i didnt want to use it

You're doomed man. Apple wrote down the IPs downloading the Install DVD. Sorry to frighten you and 1,000.000 other users.

Quick question. Do the widgets that were open in Dashboard stay open after a restart?

who ever said i downloaded the install dvd? i got it from work that got an early copy.

I personally think the Dashboard is pretty impressive and not at all as fugly as I first thought it was when we saw it back at WWDC 2004. My only wish: the development community puts out some decent widgets and not just a bunch of weather-related widgets like I see on Konfab. Even so, I can't wait for my copy to arrive on Friday! Probably one of the biggest and best OS X updates to date for all the under-the-hood innovation as well as all the visible stuff. Longhorn can't touch it!

hey deermatt, what instant msging program are you using? it is just AIM for OSX? im using ichat.. and its ok, but i would like to check up on people's profiles on AIM and such but AIM for OSX isnt really cutting it for me. thanks.

The weather widget is just beautiful. Probably will replace WeatherMenu for me (with Dashboard just a button away).

BTW this thread could use some more thumbnails (I believe the above graphic violates forums policy about image size, at least without it specified in the subject ).

I am thinking not mate... - I dont care to be honest as I am still on panther till tiger finally arrives, which will hopefully be here soon.

Also it would not be possible for apple to do that as you are NOT downloading from there servers... so they have no access to the information as to where you would/have got it from, and rather than trace the users they would just bring down the site/newsgroup/whatever distributing it.

Anyways this is not about how you got the copy etc...
- This thread is intended for those who have a "proper" copy to post some images and information ect... on widgets and customisations.

Cheers

I cannot wait for Tiger to come, got a couple of ideas for widgets to create myself.

asodamiac - yes , i HATE ichat, so i just use regular 4.7 aim for mac, and it works well for me

Apple can see who is downloading files VIA Bit Torrent without said server belonging to them.

try adium

adiumx.com for aim and the rest

deermatt : everybody can see the .torrent on your desktop ...

Ha ha, busted!

PWNT!!

at first I was "How rude!!" but then . . . [picture is proof, Duke] well either you got your hands on the .torrent or you are distributing the .torrent . . . hope you're telling the truth and neither is true.

PS. not sure your 'Homies' are gonna be down wit' y'all representin' their ScreenNames all through the hood and lookin' the foo', dawg.

haha, didnt notice that, someone sent me the torrent , but i didnt want to try it incase it would ruin my system, so i guess i was sorta owned

You know that little white part that you can see on chicken poop? Well, its chicken poop too...
Just thought you would want to know, Deermatt.

Hey atleast you came back being a good sport about the ownage.

That is commendable.

Yeah... But come on! It's still chicken crap...

R

Stranger things have happened…

Not sure what they are, but they doubtlessly have

Yeah good point.... I was thinking he ment if someone downloaded it from a newsgroup....
- As they cant trace on the newsgroups...

However I have seen the pic and theres a torrent in there - shocked :o
- Thought he was a lucky one who got one that was released early

LOL Ok, so where are the pictures of people's widgets??
