They still dont have it in stock at the DG in Shatin. Although, when i went there in person and ask, they were hesitant to tell me if they have it in stock. I have the feeling that they do have it in stock, but they are saving it for their friends. I ended up buying it online.

I work for Apple authorized service provider and I am pissed that Apple did this. They told NOBODY that it was coming out this Friday, they only released the SKU to us today. Which leaves us three days to train our entire 50+ person staff on Snow Leopard. What works? What doesn’t? Who knows? I guess we’ll figure it out when it gets released. Compare the Leopard and Snow Leopard launches is black and white. The Apple store staff in Chicago isn’t ready for the launch, we’re not ready for the launch, we got the GM copy well after bittorrent got it.

A two hour lab isn’t enough time to train someone for a new OS. Especially one with Exchange support and a new server OS in the pipeline.

Guess it’s time I seek out an external drive for Macbook Air – both me and my wife use Macbook Air. Probably worth the effort though. =)

It’s funny that everyone is posting the date of Snow Leopard except Apple themselves. I bet the official announcement will be September 9.

Installed build 10A43. Very fast scrolling in Safari. Surprisingly new Final Cut Studio does not show up as a 64 bit intel build in About this Mac/Software/Applications nor in Activity Monitor under kind. This is also true for new Logic Studio. Other surprise is need to boot with 6 and 4 keys down on qualifying Macs to boot into 64 bit. Most interesting. The future is bright with Adobe’s CS5 expected next Spring and Office next fall.

QuickTime 10 takes a major step backward in functionality… no more pro version and other than a nice interface, it dumbs down the usability to iTunes level. it allows you to trim video clips and save them in their original format, but no option for saving to a different format other than for iPhone. can no longer view .mkv files, crop out the letterboxing, add an audio track or edit the aspect ratio. it reminds me of what apple did with iMovie a few years back.

i have to say, snow leopard runs very snappy.
