More Evidence That Snow Leopard Is a Touchscreen Operating System

The more I play with Snow Leopard, the more it looks like it’s designed to run Apple’s upcoming tablet. Look at Expose in the Dock — the new feature that reveals all an application’s open windows when you click and hold the application’s icon. It’s tailor-made for fingers. Even more convincing is Stacks in the Dock.

Apple Confirms Press Event for September 9

September 9 is indeed the day for the next official Apple press event, according to Apple itself via press invitations that were sent out today. The event will take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, CA at 10AM Pacific. That’s 1PM Eastern for those of us over here on the other coast. Other time zones will have to do their own fancy math adjustment. The tagline for the event is “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it,” and the image being circulated with the invitation features a traditional dancing silhouette with white iPod and headphones. All of which makes it seem very likely that people expecting a tablet announcement will be somewhat disappointed, but that those looking forward to new iPod models will probably have something to celebrate. The title is a riff on British rockers The Rolling Stones’ track “It’s Only Rock and Roll (But I Like It).” There has been speculation that fellow British rock sensation The Beatles would finally be coming to the iTunes Store at this event, since it’s the same day Beatles Rock Band ships, but so far that remains up in the air. Another possible reason for the September 9 date, which falls on a Wednesday instead of following the traditional Apple-event Tuesday pattern, is iTunes 9. Recently, there have been many rumors surrounding the next major point upgrade of Apple’s music and media management software, so expect to see it arrive next Wednesday, complete with added social networking capabilities and possibly additional features that take advantage of new iPod hardware improvements . On Sept 10th, 500 people will gather to figure out how to make the most of the $45 billion mobile web market at Mobilize 09. Join them!

Section: Apple , Apple News , Conferences , Rumors , iPod + iTunes , iPod touch , iPod Family , iTunes , iPod , iPod nano Just as August draws to a close, Apple has made official their much rumored September 9th music themed event. As they have done in past years , Apple has released the image above announcing the event in the style of their ubiquitous iPod and iTunes advertisements. “It’s only rock and roll, but we like it” reads the image, quoting the Rolling Stones’ song . What’s to be expected from this event? Most likely new iPods across the board (meaning the Touch , Nano, and Classic), with the regular increased storage and decreased price, the only chief upgrade possibly being cameras built into the devices. Additional rumors have included iTunes 9 with social integration and Blu-ray support. Rumors of the Apple “iPad” have also been swirling, but the likelihood of any such announcement is fairly low. Check back at Appletell for detailed coverage leading up to the event, as well as a live blog on the 9th of September.

Your Favorite Snow Leopard UI Changes

Now that many of us have upgraded to Snow Leopard , I would like to start a forum where you can share your favorite UI changes. Use Command + Shift + 3, Command + Shift + 4, a third party screenshot capture tool, or links to your favorite photo sharing site. I’ll start it off with my favorites. Expose Below is a screenshot of a new Expose feature in Snow Leopard. I opened six Safari windows and simply clicked on the Safari dock icon for a second. The dock icon lights up while the rest of the dock darkens. Very fast. Very slick. Airport Next is the new Airport menu. We finally have signal strength next to the network name. Before, a third-party tool was required for this. Services Honestly, I have never used the Services feature in the Finder. It’s cluttered and confusing. Now, it’s smart enough to know what I want to do and provide the correct options

Apple Has Some Important Lessons to Learn

We love Apple. We love its style. We love its vision. We love its marketing and PR. A generation of the world’s best designers cut their teeth on Apple computers, much as they might dislike admitting their sense of taste was shaped by a consumer electronics company. In business, too, Apple has proven to be a visionary. Entrepreneurs often look to Apple for inspiration. Software startups the world-over are compelled to study Apple so as to learn how best to “do it” — whatever “it” may be. I don’t know — do entrepreneurs look to Microsoft for inspiration? Arguably one of the greatest speakers on entrepreneurship and startups, Guy Kawasaki , was Apple’s first Macintosh evangelist and still praises the company today. Kawasaki picks winners — after all, that’s his job — and he chooses Apple every time. In the bad old days, back when Microsoft was “The Borg” and Apple hadn’t released an iPod yet, a big part of the reason for loving Apple was our affinity with the underdog

Few people use humor to illuminate ugly truths about co-workers, technology, or everyday living as well as DILBERT creator Scott Adams. But which is worse: the person whose smartphone is chock full of dumb/goofy/offensive crapware, or the potential love interest who uses them as a dealbreaker?
