APPLE SNOW LEOPARD INSTALL

We've been told it's now the default action behind the scenes, but the bottom line is that you have to trust the installer more than ever before - and while we didn't have any major problems, it would be nice if we could force a new install of the OS without having to wipe a disk.

APPLE SNOW LEOPARD ARCHIVE

Of course, that made us a little uneasy, since we've always chosen Archive and Install to get a fresh OS, but you can't have cold feet here - that option's been removed. You don't even have to reboot off the DVD.

APPLE SNOW LEOPARD PASSWORD

Seriously, you just stick in the disc, open the installer, enter your password and go - that's it. Unlike Microsoft's subtle nudges towards clean reinstallation of Windows 7, Apple's quite proud of the new 10.6 installer, which upgrades in place, quarantines incompatible apps and plugins in an "Incompatible Software" folder, and boots you right back up with little to no user effort. Interestingly enough, installation is one of the few parts of Snow Leopard that's dramatically different than previous versions of OS X. So did Apple pull it off? Read on to find out! But in a way that means the pressure's on even more: Apple took the unusual and somewhat daring step of slowing feature creep in a major OS to focus on speed, reliability, and stability, and if Snow Leopard doesn't deliver on those fronts, it's not worth $30. So you won't notice much new when you first restart into 10.6 - apart from some minor visual tweaks here and there there's just not that much that stands out. And on top of all that, there's now Exchange support in Mail, iCal, and Address Book, making OS X finally play nice with corporate networks out of the box. There's a new version of QuickTime, which affects media playback on almost every level of the system. The Finder has been entirely re-written in Cocoa, which Mac fans have been clamoring for since 10.0. The entire OS is now 64-bit, meaning apps can address massive amounts of RAM and other tasks go much faster.

APPLE SNOW LEOPARD UPGRADE

Maybe that's why Apple's priced the 10.6 upgrade disc at just $29 - appearances and expectations matter, and there's simply not enough glitz on this kitty to warrant the usual $129.īut underneath the customary OS X fit and finish there's a lot of new plumbing at work here.

Even the name seems to underpromise - it's the first "big cat" OS X codename to reference the previous version of the OS, and the list of big-ticket new features is seemingly pretty short for a version-number jump. Nevertheless, the snow leopard population is very likely declining.Snow Leopard.

And population density can range from <0.1 to 10 or more individuals per 38.6 square miles, depending on prey densities and habitat quality. The total range covers an area of close to 772,204 square miles, with 60% of the habitat found in China. However, more than 70% of snow leopard habitat remains unexplored. Home range sizes can vary from 4.6-15.4 square miles in Nepal to over 193 square miles in Mongolia. The snow leopard’s habitat range extends across the mountainous regions of 12 countries across Asia: Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The mountains were rich with their prey such as blue sheep, Argali wild sheep, ibex, marmots, pikas and hares. A long tail enables agility, provides balance and wraps around the resting snow leopard as protection from the cold.įor millennia, this magnificent cat was the king of the mountains. Its hind legs give the snow leopard the ability to leap six times the length of its body. The snow leopard’s powerful build allows it to scale great steep slopes with ease.
