Well I was such a little fanboi that I’ve got leopard installed, things that I’m interested in:-
* RSS reader in mail
* spaces
* calendar App showing todays date
Things they didn’t mention which i think are good:-
* Tabbed terminal windows! Apple+T for a new one, Apple+}|{ to move between tabs
Aside from that, the coverflow-esque viewer to finder is quite nice – and pretty quick too. Admittedly, zfs is there – but no zpool create yet 
Think i’ll have to get the developer kit for that one.
Heh, well ok, I didn’t know but when abroad and you need to use google, it can be slightly tricky to use if you don’t know the local language.
So if you use :-
http://www.google.no/en
It’ll change your default language to english – this also works with changing back to anything like
http://www.google.co.uk/ru
To swap yourself to Russian – very helpful – previously i was also hand adding ?hl=en to do a similar thing.
Another tip, if you cancel the flight – you can claim back flight duty and tax even if you can’t claim on the airfare – and that’s normally a reasonable chunk of change for long flights!
Fad languages, last it was ruby (and rails) and now it’s erlang, previously it was python, and before that was java – each here to save the world and provide world peace – ok, so perhaps not the last one.
I like the idea of rails, the language is pretty nice too – but my goodness it’s slow – and i used to think java was bad (well it was – for totally different reasons). Interesting notes about the java community wanting closures, though it did take me a while to remember what they are! Though I never truly did grok the usage of lambda closures; which is probably a good thing really.
Ah, LPC – definitely the easiest way to learn an object orientated language – certainly makes things a lot more concrete for understanding – didn’t like C++ for probably the same reason – despite it being probably a little cleaner to use. Heh, be interesting to see what the next fad is —
