Three (other) Leopard Features:
So with only nine days till the release of Mac OS X Leopard the anticipation is mounting. Apple has boasted over 300 new features and I have skimmed through this list and found three that aren’t some of the ones that they publicized a lot like Time Machine; but some other ones.
-Scratched Disc Recovery:
“Smoothly play back even DVDs that may be damaged. New technology in Leopard can locate and avoid scratched areas of the disc.”
OK, I’m a bit careless and dropping DVDs and CDs is quite an easy task for me, even when I’m not trying; so unavoidably I end of scratching some DVDs. The fact that I can now not worry as much is great. I just hope I don’t become to complaisant. 
-RSS in Mail:
“Subscribe to an RSS feed in Mail and you’ll know the moment an article or blog post hits the wire. Even better, you can choose to have new articles appear in your inbox.”
I can’t say that I would use this feature that much, but it is a great idea for anyone who has a couple of websites that they want to check up on. I might subscribe to my blog so that I can be sure that my posts have been published.
-Scroll Non-Active Windows:
“Scroll any open window, even if it’s not active. Simply position your mouse over the target window and scroll.”
When I am writing bog posts especially this is a big feature for me. Not having a massive monitor (unlike some people) I can’t fit a whole web page on my window and it is a pain having to select the window so I can however over and scroll a bit and then keep writing.
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You can also contact me. Thanks for visiting!

I was debating as when to get this as I know there are going to be problems and that at the beginning it is going to be horrible but I really want to write some stuff about Leopard here. So just to delay me a bit I’m going to wait a week till I can buy all this stuff at once. You can find another post about Leopard here. [...]
