Well what did you expect? Nothing was too much of a secret. But this is going to get some of you mac fans furious, but I am not one to consider feelings most of the time. Sorry that’s just me.

Well I had this long touching post written the day of Apples release of the new imac’s and .mac updates, but I never posted it. The reasons why I didn’t post it are many, but only one phrase sums it up for me, UN-IMPRESSIVE!

Yes the new imacs are pretty, just like the last ones. Yes the new keyboards are sleek. Yes some of the new software updates are neat. But did we expect anything different? It makes no sense to me why Apple would come out with all of these updates on the heels of the release of the Jesus phone. Why wouldn’t you release the new platform devices first, like the imac before you release the industry changing IPhone. I was so excited for the release of the new imacs, I really thought they would do something to trump the greatness of the IPhone, but that obviously did not happen. I thought just maybe they had a trick up their sleeve, but nothing.

Now I know a lot of people are saying that the new imacs are going to be great, which they most likely are. But I am just saying the announcement and keynote were just not exciting at all. I simply was not impressed. The thing is that we were and still in awe of the IPhone, so once again I ask the question why didn’t you come out with the new updates for the imacs and .mac first ???

Since quite a many Geeks use Mac OS X I figured this might be of some interest to some folks out of our 16 or so readers we currently have. Think Secret has posted that Apple has sent out a new Leopard build to developers offering a few UI tweaks including a "separator" graphic in the Dock that seems to be seen as a "new feature". Not sure how a separator graphic can be seen as a new feature but oh well.

Looks nifty don’t get me wrong. But for some reason - Leopard really isn’t as jaw-dropping as I was expecting from Apple. Then again I’m not really an Mac OS X user so if the OS X users are happy with the update that’s what counts right?
