a glob of nerdishness

AppleInsider has been posting a great series called “Road to Mac OS X Leopard” this month. The journalism shines not in the actual Leopard bits, but in the historical lead-up to each:

• QuickTime, iTunes, and Media Features
• System Preferences
• Parental Controls and Directory Services
• Collaborative Info Sharing Services
• Dashboard, Spotlight and the Desktop
• Safari 3.0
• iCal 3.0
• iChat 4.0
• Mail 3.0
• Time Machine
• Spaces
• Dock 1.6
• Finder 10.5
• Dictionary 2.0
• Preview 4.0

I’ll update this list as necessary. Tip: as elsewhere on teh adverwebs, the print version gives you the current article on a single page.

My favorites have been Safari (though sans Vannevar Bush and Ted Nelson), the Desktop, and Collaborative Services.
