Next week's hints will be edited by... Site News
...Kirk McElhearn, who will be sitting in for me at the editor's desk as I take the week off (to rest my fingers in anticipation of the upcoming Leopard release).

As you've probably noticed by now, with Tiger getting a bit long in the tooth, it's getting tougher and tougher to find little nuggets about what is now Apple's oldest-ever version of OS X. I fully expect things will pick back up again with Leoaprd's release, as not only are there hundreds of new OS features to dig into and figure out, but there are many brand-new applications (Finder, Spaces, Time Machine), as well as changes to existing applications (iChat, Mail, iCal, Safari) that I'm sure have hidden features to be revealed. In addition, I expect a spate of hints about how to modify the dockshelf in Leopard, as that seems to be (based on feedback on various sites based on the images on Apple's site) one of the more contentious modified features in 10.5.

In any event, Kirk will be handling the posting duties next week while I relax on a Caribbean beachhandle a bunch of household tasks that I've long put off doing. I'll be back at the desk on Monday October 8th, and perhaps by then, we'll have an actual 10.5 release date...or perhaps not. Either way, I'll be here posting the hints that come in, and doing my best to keep things moving along until Leopard comes out.

He _is_ going to be on a beach, with *censored*tails with little umbrellas, the whole thing... I'll be slaving over the hot hints while he's just taking it easy. :-)

Was the word "*censored*tails" really censored?

FFS! Yes, it was. I wonder whether I'm allowed to say that I'm in Sussex, or Essex, or any other such fine places.

Wow, I didn't think it censored partial words.

In any case, it was a synonom of "drinks".

"there are many brand-new applications (Finder"

Finder isn't a new application. It might have been rewritten and look a bit different but it essentially does and does not do the same as before what I can see.
