MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

Nice.

Riveting. Complex. Intriguing. Great character development. Loved the surprise ending!

OK, so here at MDN we have been told what the music is behind the ads "I'm a Mac ... andI'm a PC" and iPhone ads.

Anyone know what music is behind this?

I cannot wait until Spring 2007 when Leopard will be ready. Apple never has Microsft type delays, ever.

Just my $0.02

Probably the quality of the video but it looks like crap compared to the others (10.4, 10.3, 10.2, and 10.0/.1). It looks like some bad first-person version of Galaga. However, if you look at the movies for the previous OS X versions, they all have something to do with a major feature in the OS - 10.0/.1 is Aqua; 10.2 is Aqua again; 10.3 I can't figure out; 10.4 was spotlight; now, it's Time Machine.

I believe it was the original theme music to the MS BSOD, but the audio never worked once it crashed.

It looks good, very scifi. Apple is not going to devote a huge amount of time to something that lasts 20 seconds and the user sees once.

lol.. pretty damn cool for a movie most users will only see 1x.

Does Leopard has HDTV recording capability ?

Music (from Tiger and Leopard intro movies):

"Bytecry" - Weevil

Nice! I was hoping the U.S.S. Enterprise would perform a fly-by.

The stars seem still far, far away.

It was actually produced by Dr. Zefram Cochrane thirty years ago.

I can crush granite.

Well, if I did it, I'd say "cool!"

But since I don't do that kind of visual work, and I'm assuming a professional did...well,

Ho-hum.

Crush a couple of lumps of coal so you can make some diamonds.

I can't wait to test that, Ray. I'm hard as a rock!

I loved it. It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again.

@Ray

Do some homework. Apple has had a 4-5 month delay. A "Microsoft type delay" would be like Vista, where the operating system was delayed 2-3 YEARS.

It feels much snappier than the last intro movie.

My first feeling was: oh! this is a fake! Not good enough for Apple...
Now, if it's the real intro: it's only used once... so it might be just good enough... Yet i'd be a little disapointed if this would be it...

Damn, as a designer i must say this is some of the most cheesy crap i have seen! Try again Apple...

That's the Orion Nebula (M42) by the way, so it is astronomical rather than sci-fi.

jesus its naff for pete's sake! a good amateur effort but lacks the finesse of something pro, also they surely won't be using the same music?

Sorry i am not convinced this is the real (Bones) McCoy.

Flying though space? Why not just make the text go off into a vanishing point center screen? then pan down to the surface of "Tatooine" or "Hoth" and have Jar Jar welcome you to Mac OS X, then get eaten by a leaopard. Looks like a tacky Windows or linux presentation. If this is real, Apple art directors are slipping. And no new Music? I think its fake.

Hopefully this kind of polish is indicative of the overall refinements in the OS.

Check out the Leopard Domination movie also available in the playlist at the bottom of the screen.

Here's a link to the original "leopard intro movie" torrent:
