» Wednesday News Stuff

It’s a split day today, school is over for this time for me and a nice summer is awaiting. However because of the grade I’m now graduating from (our school system is different here) I’ll not go with almost anyone from my old class now that we all move up. A little sad to not see half of the people but I’ll all get over it. Onto the news.

• On Monday, Steve Jobs mentioned in the keynote very briefly that Apple is beginning to seed a developer version of the new Snow Leopard that will be replacing Leopard in the next year. It’s going to be much of a performance update with fewer new features. What we have learnt now from seeing the system requirements is that they will be dropping the PowerPC support to go to Intel only now.
   
• Today you’ll definitely want to check out the guest blogger over at Scott Kelby’s blog, Moose Peterson. He’s one of the best wildlife photographers I’ve ever seen and I love his wildlife work. Give his entry a read.
   
• Are you wanting to go the the Photokina in Colonge coming up on September 23rd through 27th?
