Well this sucks balls! I saw this headline over at the BBC which mentions that the Apples’ forthcoming operating system name Leopard is delayed till October. During last years’ WWDC Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple, mentioned that Leopard will be released during spring of 2007, which is not happening anymore. Also at the WWDC conference Steve also said, “Leopard will ship looong before Longhorn” (now known as Windows Vista). Oh Steve, you must feel like a fool for saying that because consumer edition Windows Vista has already come out.

Looks as if the upcoming spring dash update to the xbox360 has been leaked. There a couple of new features which i think will be useful. For one content can now be downloaded in low power mode, this is great for those long downloads for the big movies and demos which are going to take some time. In addition the marketplace will also get its own blade now totalling 5 blades, which is rightly deserved. One other feature which isn’t highlighted in the below video but hinted by Major Nelson at the xbox360 fanboy podcast is that if you have a xbox360 game in the drive, the dashboard will now show what game is in the drive! Pretty cool feature. Major Nelson has made the request numerous times on his podcast which is why i think this will be included.

Adobe have announced the new batch of creative suites catered for web designers/developers. The CS3 packages look very interesting and especially DreamWeaver CS3. DW now includes features to support AJAX based websites and a lot more integration between all applications. I’m really looking forward to these applications but unfortunatley my current system doesn’t meet the minimum requirements so that’s an excuse for me to buy a new machine, possibly a new macbook pro.
