Apple Sets Oct. 24th Release For Mac OS X 10.3 696
dricci writes "Yahoo! has posted a press release from Apple, regarding the release date of the next major Mac OS X update, 10.3 ('Panther'). The update will be available 8:00 p.m. on October 24th at Apple Retail Stores and Authorized Resellers for $129.00 US (Family Pack for up to 5 users will be $199). Pretty much the same pricing structure they had for Jaguar. It looks like 'old world' Beige G3 support has been discontinued -- the update requires a Mac with built in USB."

Expose? Boring.
iChat AV? Hi, NetMeeting called. It wants its hype back.
Brushed metal Finder? Ugh.
"Favorites panel"? It's been an irritating part of Windows since 2000. I don't want it.
Instead, I implore all freedom-conscious netizens out there to send me, Seth Finklestein a copy of Mac OS X 10.3. Or, send a serial number so that I may liberate it off of KaZaA Plus [kazaaplus.com].

That's OK - the six guys to whom that would actually apply are still waiting for their copies of 10.2 to boot up.

Well I've put a team of monkeys to work on trying to figure out how to ensure you don't lose your $129 dollars, and will still allow Steve Jobs to market his product in a way that he sees fit.
After 3.4 seconds, the monkeys typed the following:
DON'T BUY IT

Did I mention I'm getting married Saturday? "Honey, I know we just got back from the honeymoon, but this is PANTHER!!!"
Sorry, but a real Mac fan would have said "Honey, I know we're still on our honeymoon, but this is PANTHER!!!"
Of course, your average /. reader would more likely only be able to say "Honey, it's sweet and comes from bees."

Steve: "Well, we'll just give all the G5 people the free upgrade, the powerbooks are shit out of luck."
Lackey: "What if the angry powerbook owners storm the building, and take it?"
Steve: "How much damage can they do? Those powerbooks wouldn't even dent my skull. Now, if the G5 owners got pissed, wielding their G5s like clubs, then I might shit my pants. Those things are big. Let's keep them happy."
Lackey: "Good thinking, master. I will alert your minions."
Steve (to self): "Yes... Angry G5 owners...damn....Shit my pants..."
