I picked up Snow Leopard today at my local Apple store. It was fairly crowded, but then, it always is. Just installed in on a new hard drive in an external case a bit ago. The installation took roughly an hour, but another 30 minutes or so to import settings and files over from with the migration assistant. Finally finished everything, fired it up and… well, it’s pretty much exactly the same as Leopard. A couple small tweaks that I noticed, the best was the improvements in how stacks are handled in the dock. Currently though, I have more negative things to say about it then positive. Well, just two negative things really. One is Apple’s fault and the other isn’t.

Two things for this post; first, I’m going to attempt to post something on this blog everyday for the rest of the month. Not sure exactly what I’m going to post about, but it’s going to be something, whether it’s a nice full length post or a paragraph or two. So, having got that out of the way, let me start my first of 6 straight days posting with some Adobe hate.

While on a visit to one of my favorite Apple blogs, The Unofficial Apple Weblog (Tuaw), trying to find out more about a possible Mac tablet through Verizon rumor, I discovered that new versions of my favorite music and video production software had been released. I was rather surprised by this discovery as the time frame it took for Logic 7 to get an update to 8 was several years. I immediately visited the Apple website to check out the new features for Logic 9.

With the new iTunes 8.2.1 update the (very unofficial) ability to sync the Palm Pre with iTunes is now broken. I don’t think this move really surprised any. As always, this move has brought out all of the Apple fanboys and all of the Apple haters (who in my opinion are worse that the Apple fanboys… and far more numerous) so they can get together debate flame each other on forums, discussion boards and article/blog comments through the wide and vast internets.
