WWDC Snow Leopard and Safari 4 Screenshots
German site Apfeltalk.de has posted (via Engadget) screenshots from Safari 4 as well as Apple's preview release of Snow Leopard given to developers at WWDC.
Not surprisingly, since the next version of Mac OS X is being billed as having few new features, there isn't a whole lot to capture in screenshots. "No new features" isn't entirely accurate, of course, as Apple is focusing on underlying performance and stability in Snow Leopard.
The screenshots, however, do capture the new Address Book with Microsoft Exchange support coming in Snow Leopard. Apfeltalk.de also provides a series of images capturing Safari 4's "Save as Web Application" feature which allows users to save specific web pages as "Site Specific Browsers". This allows users to save specific websites as self-contained applications that can be launched independently of Safari. Fluid is a 3rd party application that provides similar functionality on current versions of Mac OS X and Safari.

I have seen both Safari 4 and Snow Leopard in action. Fast. Very, very fast. Not much else to say other than that.

News must be a bit thin on the ground :cool:
I hope Snow Leopard is at a lower price than Leopard, otherwise I can see quite a few people giving it a miss.

I'd love to know more about the format of the "save as web page" function in Safari. If it's another proprietary format a la Internet Explorer, then no thank you. I'll pass. If Apple is downloading all necessary files and bundling them into a single document where you can still get at the individual HTML and page elements, then bravo.

I still wounder why people want Snow Leopard to be less expensive?! Many people would change of machine to get more speed, you will be able to do soo just by upgrading software is a prety good news to me.
I would like to have more informations about Grand Central and OpenCL, thoses two features can be the real deal of Snow Leopard. If Apple can make them as they seem (so far not much have been say about it) to be, they can be a real break through of compuer programming.

I don't understand all this excitement over self-contained web pages. How is that better than just opening a tab in Safari (which most users will already have open at all times anyway)? If that's one of the major features in Snow Leopard, I'll pass. Then again, I don't consider Dashboard and widgets particularly useful either (over a stanalone app or a web page).

What's the status of ZFS in Snow Leopard? This is from a a user that released information to LoopRumors:
- the default filesystem in Snow Leopard is ZFS, though HFS is still supported
- the requirements on the DVD indeed state that it requires an Intel processor
- when browsing through the file systems, there was no mention of PowerPC in the entire OS
- a new version of Safari is also included, which seems to load pages a bit faster than the existing version
Does that mean ZFS is bootable in Snow Leopard?
I'm sure Safari will be snappier :)

And either a dev account or an illegally obtained copy?....
