more information on the Apple site

Here’s just some of the features I’ve picked out:

• Put Back from the Trash
• Better Disk Eject behaviour, including telling you what App has a disk Open
• Setting default search location to Current folder 
• Printer Driver Updates
• Split Pane terminal is back!
• Apparently some super file sharing energy saving magic:

  With Snow Leopard and a compatible AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station, a computer that acts as a file or media server can go to sleep yet continue to share its files with other computers and devices, saving energy.

• Date in the Menu bar. It seems small, but seeing todays date at a glance is very useful
• GPU acceleration for QuickTime X Video decoding
• Exchange support
• Data Detectors now identify fly details
• Multi-Touch for older laptops
• Grand Central Dispatch + OpenCL

Head on over to the Apple site and have a good read, it’s worth a look.

There’s also news that Snow Leopard will include a HFS+ driver for Windows, so when you’re using Boot Camp, you will be able to access your Mac files without a 3rd party app like MacDrive.

As you can imagine, there’s only so many tips and tricks for Leopard that I can document here. If you find something that isn’t on the site (search the site first) then register and post it! If you get the content from another site, be sure to reference that site.

With Snow Leopard on the way, we will be starting a whole new round of tips and tricks for Apple’s latest OS X gift!

Despite slowly running out of content, I have some exciting news for the site. I’ve started working on video’s for the already published posts, this means you’ll be able to follow me as I show you on video how to perform a tip or trick. As you can imagine, this will be a lengthy process. I’m confident I can get it done! Stay tuned

You can re add it again by open system/library/core service/menu bar, and duoble click on the desired icon to be displayed on the menu bar like volume, time machine….

Apple has made the public beta of Safari 4 available today. It’s full of several innovative new features, including integrated cover-flow browsing, full history search, visual previews and more. Additonally, it employes the “Nitro” engine which apparently runs JavaScript 4.2 times faster than Safari 3.

Mac Daily News lists the new features as such:

• Top Sites, a display of frequently visited pages in a stunning wall of previews so users can jump to their favorite sites with a single click

• Full History Search, where users search through titles, web addresses and the complete text of recently viewed pages to easily return to sites they’ve seen before

• Cover Flow, to make searching web history or bookmarks as fun and easy as paging through album art in iTunes

• Tabs on Top, for better tabbed browsing with easy drag-and-drop tab management tools and an intuitive button for opening new ones

• Smart Address Field, that automatically completes web addresses by displaying an easy-to-read list of suggestions from Top Sites, bookmarks and browsing history

• Smart Search Field, where users fine-tune searches with recommendations from Google Suggest or a list of recent searches

• Full Page Zoom, for a closer look at any website without degrading the quality of the site’s layout and text

• Built-in web developer tools to debug, tweak and optimize a website for peak performance and compatibility

• New Windows-native look in Safari for Windows, that uses standard Windows font rendering and native title bar, borders and toolbars so Safari fits the look and feel of other Windows XP and Windows Vista applications.

appleinsider has the info

I’m loving the ‘put back’ function. And the ability to navigate folders in stacks grid-style.

I previously mentioned Quicktime Pro features may appear in Snow Leopard as standard, this rumor may not be true at all.
